not until Smiths team had become
frightened and claimed all his atten-

Smith had reached a lonely place

not alone in the wagon. Just as he

stranger with a huge revolver in his
hand. Smith made for him.
Without taking chances in person

twice. One of the shots took effect in
Smiths head. Smith dropped the lines
and grappled with his assailant. The
highwayman finally gave up.
Smiths team became frightened
and started to run away. Smith had
to relinquish his hold on his prisoner,
who rolled off the wagon and disapl
peared.
Smith hurried to DR.. I. c. Mcdonald,
where his wound was dressed. An
automobile carrying four police Off
