Ross drove home in his car after closing his store at about 9:30, he was at tacked by a hold-up artist as he drove into the alpy tQ put his. car in tbP barn. The, man who made the attack sprang from the ditch near tho sidewalk and struck at him with a dogwood club threo or four feet long, and big enough to have killed him had it reach the mark. Mr. Ross got a glimpse or the weap on aimed at his head, and by a quick move dodged the blow, the club striking the side of the auto seat and barely grazing the side of Mr. Ross' head, not even dazing him. Tho club bounded from the high wayman's hand into the car, and seeing the game was up the man disappeared. It was a narrow es cape for Mr. Ross, and was no doubt planned by some one familiar with the surroundings and with Mr. Ross' custom of closing his business, house. This cowardly aVtam.pt un, Mr- Ross' life for a fv paltry dol. lars comes as a sequel to the poison ing of Sheriff Cain'H bloodhounds a few weeks ago. Tho fellow who at tempted this job undoubtedly didn't want a bunch of bellowing hounds on his trail. If it has come to a pass where it isn't safe for a man to carry more than thirty cents in his jeans for fear of being slugged and robbed, let's all carry "auto matics" and learn to use them.
