Hit Highwayman Singing Blow

Harry Delhi, 1S-years old son Of d..
". Deihl. of Strawberry Ridge, was
held mp a night or two ago when he
was returning to his home at about 10
o clock having been to the post office.
A tall heavy man ordered him to stop
and demanded his money and when
young Delhi, who thought ne was the
victim of some joker, went to proceed
the shining barrel of revolver barred
his advance.
Thrusting the weapon into Deihl's
face. the footpad with an oath again
called to the young man to give up his
money. The reply, however. was a
stinging blow between the eyes of the
man with tho revolver, knocking him
into the gutter. Delhi, needless to
say, at once made tracks for Straw
berry Ridge and escaped from the
highwayman, of whom nothing has
since heen heard.
