lated thrilling little encounter with a
lone highwayman almost within the
borders of our own county, but which
he confided to no one save his brother
inspectors Recently while crossing
the mountain from Richlands to Grundy
and at one of the loneliest points of the
road he was confronted by a masked
bandit, who leveled a big gun at his
head and ordered him to shell out his
vaiuables. Being unarmed at the time
there was nothing else to do but comply
with the highwsyman's request, and
this Mr.. Nicely did, gracefully handing
over his bank roll, watch and such other
articles he possessed that the knight
OF the road" demanded, leaving him
only his commission as inspector to
show him an employ of the Federal
government. The bandit then backed
into the heavy timbers skirting the road
and so far as Mr.. Nicely knows, may be
going still.
