Information was received in Bam berg Monday afternoon of a daring hold up and automobile robbery about 11 o’clock Monday morning a few miles over the line in Hampton Coun ty. Two automobiles were forciliJy taken at the points of pistols during the holdup. Harry Myers, accompanied by his wife and two children, was driving along the road, when he was sudden ly halted by a car turned across the road, it is stated. Three strange men ordered Myers and his family to im mediately vacate their car, and when Myers was a little slow in complying with the demand, he was struck over the head several times with the butt of the pistol. Following closely behind the Myers automobile, J. S. Dunbar drove up in his Ford, and attempted to drive around the halted cars, but he, too, was stopped, and compelled to get out. The three strangers then each got into a car and drove off, leaving the party standing in the road. They were later picked up and carried to Yemassee. No clue to the identity of the ban dits was seen by officers and no trace of them has been found as yet, ac cording to reports. The men were driving a Buick, but the license num ber was not taken. Dunbar and My ers both drove Fords, bearing South Carolina license plates.—The Bam berg Herald. — ADVERTISE in Ths People-Sentinel /• * Lleyd A.
