This appeared in The Kentucky Post, 11 Feb 1928, page 1. I am pretty sure 
this was my ggrandmother, Frances Murray Duncan Campbell.

BURGLAR IS ROUTED BY COVINGTON WOMAN

     An attempted daylight robbery of the Kroger Grocery & Baking Co. store, 
601 Main-St., Covington, was foiled Friday afternoon by Mrs. Frances Campbell, 
living in an upstairs apartment.
     While clerks were out Mrs. Campbell heard a noise in the hallway downstairs.
     "What are you doing there?" she shouted to a man who was using a hatchet 
to pry open a barricaded window leading into the store. 
     As she started down the stairs the would-be thief stood his ground a moment, 
then hurled his hatchet in her direction and fled out the door. Mrs. Campbell 
pursued him thru the alley, but he dodged thru a yard and escaped.
	She described him to police as about 5 feet 7 inches in height, weighing 
about 170 pounds and wearing a tan garbardine and light cap. Because of the darkness 
of the hall she was unable to get a good look at his face.
