STOPPED BY HIGHWAYMEN.
DR.. Richardson's Presence of Mind
Saved Him from Robbery.

Saved Him from Robbery.
The police were yesterday advised To
look out for the highway robbers who at
tempted to hold up DR.. G. A Richardson,
of Hyattsville, on the Queens Chapel road,
last Sunday night.
The physician was driving home about
8 o'clock at night upon his return from
visiting several patients near RAM Horn,
when he was held up by two robbers on u
lonely portion of the road just beyond the
bridge which crosses the northeast branch
The doctor was driving at moderate
pace when the men jumped out from the
roadside and one of them seized the reins
near the horses head and yelled at the
driver to halt. Instead OF obeying DR..
Richardson, quickly sizing up the situa-
ton, seized the whip and struck his horse
a blow that caused him TO leap forward
and compel the highwayman to release his
hold.
The night was SO dark that the doctor
was unable to distinguish whether the men
were white or black.
