VoU2, No. 14 Flestierton, Ont, September 13 1921 Holdups at Shelburne The people of Shelburne and surroun- ding tenitory have been terribly worked up diirinn III* past week as a reiult of the depredations of a holdup party of three men who have bean terrorizing motorists for tha past six dayi, says the Fre Press. On Thursday evening laet i lire* robbers held up a Shelburne young man t Shepherd's p :nd, north of Primrose, and made their i/elaw*y with- out being apprehended. On Sunday evening while James Berry of Melanc- r him waa returning from Laurel, up the third line. Amaranth, he was commanded to slop, throw up his hands or take the alternative of a pistol shot. Mr. Berry speeded up his aai and escaped from the gang, but he wag further handicapptjd by the blocking of ihe narrow road with v the automobile belonging to the bandits. Knowing that he had to aot quickly he took to the ditch and made a successful escape from his pursuers. He reported the holdup to Constable Whitehead upon his arrival in town. The sam gang was on the gravel road, Mnlaiictli.il.. on Sunday evening, A party of several cars left town in pursuit of Ihe bandits and gave them a merry chase in the neighborhood of Corbelton, but lost thelc ni.irry in a kuoklcberry marsh on one of the sideroads of that township.
