(1864 -1937) Married to Walter John Heap Mother of: Olympia Heap .................. San Bernardino Daily Sun (San Bernardino, CA.), P.5, Col. 4 & 5 Fri., Sep. 8, 1911 IS ATTACKED IN HER HOME BY STRANGER Mrs. Walter Heap Puts Fiend To Flight After Exciting Encounter Mrs. Walter Heap battled alone, and won, with a murderous stranger at her home, 1521 A street, yesterday afternoon, putting the intruder to flight with her revolver. His escape was a close one, one bullet, which she fired at him, cutting close to his head as he dashed from the house. Mrs. Heap had been engaged in the kitchen, and stepping into her bed chamber was startled when a closet door suddenly was flung wide and a man stepped forth, barring the way of her escape. "How do you do?" was his greeting, spoken in even tone. "Oh!" was the alarmed reply, as Mrs. Heap turned, thinking at first it was her husband who had spoken. "I want something to eat," was the intruder's next words, issued in a rough tone, and interspersed with profanity. By that time Mrs. Heap had recovered her composure, knowing that in a dresser drawer before which she stood a revolver lay, loaded and ready for use. Her reply was a polite denial of his request. Her words brought a whirlwind of wrath from the stranger, who drew a knife, and advancing, struck at her with the blade. Blade Cuts Her Wrist. The keen edge cut through her wrist, but as quickly she had pulled the drawer open, seized the revolver, and had leveled it at him, with the command to stand off. The sight of the weapon and the determination of the woman behind it, stampeded the intruder, who beat a hasty retreat, escaping by way of the kitchen door. As he crossed the threshold Mrs. Heap fired, the bullet cutting close to his head and making him stumble. Mrs. Parley Heap, a relative residing nearby, heard the shooting, and divining a tragedy, quickly telephoned to Sheriff Ralphs, and to the office of Heap & Heap, transfer men, where Walter heap was informed. The stranger was seen by boys to cross a field, running at the top of his speed, and turn into B street. Sheriff Ralphs and his deputies beat all records in the run to the heap residence, but so quickly had the stranger fled that he completely covered his tracks. His Description. He is described as about five feet seven inches in height; wearing a soft brown hat, no coat, light blue shirt and nearly new overalls. During the morning an inmate of the State hospital escaped and at first it was surmised that he might have been the assailant, but a comparison of descriptions shows that this could not be the case. Following the encounter Mrs. Heap went directly to the home of Mrs. Parley Heap and was interviewed there by newspaper men. She was still severely nervous, and stated that she could still see the gleam of the murderous knife, and hear the savage words of her unwelcome visitor. He had evidently slipped into the bedchamber from a front entrance to the residence, while she was engaged in the rear. Contributor: Chloé (47159257) •
