Attempt Holdup On Road
Driver Frightened Two Negro Bandits Off on Pineville Road Wednesday Night
Two negroes, who attempted to hold up E.R. Thomasson on the Pineville
road Wednesday night, fled when Thomasson fired at them.
Thomasson was driving alone and had about reached the top of the Big Log
Mountain when two would-be bandits rolled down in the road from the bank
with drawn revolvers. He procured his pistol and took a couple of shots at
them without stopping his car. They fled through the brush.
