ing around saw a colored man stealthily |
climbing in the back of the dearborn with |
an uplfted club ready to strike Taken
unawares he snatched the nearest weapon
of defense, which proved to be an empty |
beer bottle This he threw at his assail- /
ant but missed his aim and struck the ice
cream freezer, shattering the bottle to atoms.

meath the dearborn and attempted to club |
James but as he urged his ancient horse
to his utmost speed, loudly calling for help
and hurting bottles at the would be rob-
