if G. w. Buzzell held up a Hudson
car at the junction Of Maple and Main

noon. The car was detained until the

the car was SO suspicious that the sher-

plates were for a Buick car instead Of
a Hudson and the car had a peculiar
top. A leather cover left a space Of
several inches between that and 4

loaded with something. The two men
IN the car claimed to be the owner and
driver.

erected to stop it. Yesterday q barri
