ROBBED OF $500.
Norway Man Held Up in the Woods
- Near Bcmis.

Norway, Me-, March 3.-Fred Cum
mings of the firm of G. B. Cummings
& Sons of Norway, doesn't care to re-
peat his experience of last week.
He started for Bemis to pay off the
crew at work there and all went well
until he arrived at lonesome piece OF
road between the depot and the mill,
when suddenly two men blocked his
way. There were few ceremonies. He
was demanded to stand and deliver"
but Mr.. Cummings had no intention of
obeying. He showed 50 much fight that
the highwaymen found it necessary to
use all the means at hand to secure the
package of 500 which evidently they
knew Mr.. Cummings was carrying I'm
an inside pocket. Mr.. Cummings coat
was cut in three places, but fortunately
he escaped uninjured. He gave the
alarm as soon as possible. Deputy
Sheriff Bassett is investigating the
matter.
MIR. Cummings is rather lame, but
otherwise suffered no injury from his
encounter.
