George Flagg was held up last night
at 1890 O'Clock while returning from
West Millbury to his home on the
west side. Flagg was walking near
the fork of the West Millbury and SUIT
ton road, when the hold-up occurred
Three men sprang at Flagg and at
tempted to gag him. Flagg fought
desperately, but was not able to attend
to three of them, and pulled a revolver
from his pocket and shot into the air
This had the desired effect upon the
would-be highwaymen, and they fled
F'lagg has no idea who his assailants
are. Today he related his experience
to special officer Abram Sharp, who
will investigate the matter. The spot
where the hold-up occurred is in very
lonesome locality and would be a very
good place to waylay a night traveller.
