DAYLIGHT

The attention Of the county sheriff
has now been directed to the lone
highwayman who for the last few
days has been raising Cain with the
farmers as they come to the city.
This morning he committed the latest
Of his depredations and held up G. H.

Of this city.
Black was just coming in along
the Deep Creek road with a load of
hay. He had got to beyond the
Hardwood dairy a couple miles when
an apparition leaped into the middle
of the road. At first Black could not
make out what was up. 1t looked
like sack of wheat with legs. But
he was soon informed Of the thing

"Hends up, you damned hayseed!

thrown over his head and shoulders,
with peepholes cut so he could see.
When Black had reached the ground
the highwayman lost no time In riff
ing his pockets. But he wasn't re-
warded with a cent, for Black was
broke when he started and didn't
even have a knife on his person which
the robber thought worth while TAX

Arriving in the city he telephoned

down and told of the circumstances.
The police then informed the sher-
