State Police Officer Arthur w Will Hams, of Dantelson, was in North Wood stock Wednesday on the trail of a bold, bad bandits who attempted to hold uo and rob Miss Olive Marcy, 20, early Tuesday evening on the lonely highway known as the Forge road that leads from North Woodstock to Southbridge.
 A mask, a gun and a shot gured in the incident, not to mention frightened steed who dashed away at the sound of firearms that left the disappointed ban dit sprawling.
 It appears that Miss Marcy, who makes her home with her mother, was on her way to her home in North Woodstock from shopping trip in Soutfbridge and had reached a point some distance south of what is known as the old forge when s nan suddenly stepped out of the dat : shadows at the side of the highway and grasped the horse Miss Olive was driy- ing by the bridle. He was naked and had a gun and his first command was for the young woman to deliver up her money or pay for failure to do so with her life
 Miss Marcy, frightened and astound ed 1 by the sudden halting of her rig and the 1 challenge directed to her, neither gave up her money nor her life, for though the 1 bandit discharged his revolver, probably with the intention of thoroughly fright ening his intended victim, he did not hit 1 her and the horse at the sound of the gun leaped and bounded away, Icing urged to top speed by the smart apples i tion of the whip in Miss Marcy's hand. 1 There was an inclination in North 1 Woodstock Wednesday to believe thai 1 this road agents job w2s done b. sono person resident in that or nearby terri low -1,. lay in wait for Miss Marcy, knowing that she had been On 2 trip to soutm3rislge rand probably would return early in | 1 evening.
