wheel of the car and kept the engine
running while the other two entered
Sherman's store. One pointed re
volver at Sherman and ordered him to
open his cash register. Sherman re-
fused and knocked the weapon from
the mans hand. Then seizing broad

ward the men. Before he could reach
them, however, the robber with the
revolver picked it up from the floor
and shot. Sherman through the right
breast.
In spite of his wound Sherman con.
tinued to advance on the thieves and
they ran to their car and escaped.
Because of his age Sherman is in Q
critical condition from the wound.
