Attempt Holdup on Highway.


Platteville Journal: While Eugene
Cushman of this city was returning
from Mitfiin on last Thursday night in
his auto, an attempt was made to hold
him up, in the timber about one half
mile northeast of James Legans.
While riding leisurely along this
highway a man darted out in front of
the car and with an oath, commanded
him to hold up. This happened about
8 o'clock in the esening, but instead of
holding up, Mr.. Cushman threw on the
power and drove rapidly ahead, strik-
ing the thug in such a manner as to
throw him, and the car passed over
him. Mr.. Cushman was alone at the
time and came right on to town. The
next morning early he went back to the
scene and found blood on the highway.
From the footsteps in the road the in
dications were that there were two in
the party at the time of the hold up.

latest work. "a cast is made up of
about the proportion of seven men

is the right idea at all, at least for
posing a feminine display as possible,
