Attempt On Constable

Roundup, Mont. Nov. 23.-J. M.
Pyles, constable of this district, had

was held up by an unknown man
about six miles from Roundup. Pyles
M a companion were, driving towards
the city when they were hailed by a
man by the roadside. Pyles, who was

a menacing position. Suspecting
something, he Immediately put on full
speed and started away, and had
passed the man by about fifty feet,
when he opened fire and fired three
shots with the gun. Pyles emptied
his revolver at the holdup man, but
without effect. Driving to town, he
secured help and started out to look
for the bandit, but owing to the dark
ness, was unable to locate him. The
next morning, on again visiting the
spot. he found two empty shells from

shots went wild, and neither man was

the attack unless some amateur high
wayman had decided to make a raise.
