have been very fortunate to have

been most agreeable.
The young people spent the early
evening hours playing various games,
while the parents had fine time in
friendly chat and laughter, which

Gul,n,en Hold Up
BeaUerdGn, Women

Two youthful, armed bandits es-
capped with between $40 and $50
early Monday morning after holding
up two women in the Blue Bell lunch
room at Beaverdam.
Authorities had failed to find any
trace of the pair up to noon We'd
nesday, despite the fact they had
good description of them. No infor-
nation was obtained, however, rela-
tive to the gunmen's method or di-
rection Of escape.
According to report made by
Deputy Sheriff John Carder, the
two men entered the restaurant
about 4:30 a. m. and ordered coffee
from Miss Lavon Beemer, 81, Of
Beaverdam.
She told officers that she noticed
they wrapped napkins around their
coffee cups before touching them.
After taking several sips, one of the
bandits leveled a small calibre re-
volver at the waitress and told her,
"this is a holdup".
Ordered to hand over the money,
Miss Beemer told the gunmen to
help themselves to the cash register
where they obtained about six dol
lars.
Then the bandit with the revolver
told Miss Beemer to Awaken the
lady in the back room" Mrs. Leota
Peters, proprietor of the restaurant
was asleep in the back room at the
| time
Mrs. Peters, only half awake, was
ordered to hand over her pocketbook
which which the holdup men took
about $40, mostly in five and ten
dollar bills. Tossing the pocketbook
in a bucket of water, the pair ord
cred the women to stay in the back
room, then left.
No one observed the bandits leave
the restaurant, but it is thought
they made their escape in dark
sedan which was seen parked neal
the restaurant, on Main street, {
| short time earlier.
Before leaving, the gunner Gu
the telephone wires and Miss BEEN
er was forced to awaken a neighbol
to notify officials.
