\ DARING HOLD-UP
Two WeII-Dressed White Men Try to
Rob a Visitor

A prominent citizen Of Levy coun-
ty was held up at a late hour last
night just west of the Masters store
building.
1t seems that he had run his au-
tomobile into the vacant lot until he
should want to return home, and at
about 11:30 started to get it. Just
as he turned the corner of Masters
store he was approached by two
white men, each one with drawn
revolver, and told to give up his
money. They were both close to him
and he began fighting, knocking one
down and clutching with the other.
After a short but fierce scrap the
Levy county man came out best, and
the robbers seeing that their hold
up was a failure beat time for the
tall timber.
The p. C. sought the services of a
surgeon, had his wounds dressed and
left for home.
The officers have been diligently
searching for the robbers, whom the
p.t c. described as two well-dressed
white men whom he had never seen
before, and says he is satisfied that
they do not live in or around Ocala,
else he would have recognized them.
