100 years ago1924: Two holdups of automobilists occurred on the Old Trails highway in this county on Sunday night, both operated by a lone man in a Ford car, traveling east. Particulars are in some instances vague and the officers had little to go on, having no clear description of the bandit and not knowing the number of his car. The first was this side of Bellemont short distance. A tourist, name unknown, was fixing a tire about 10:00 o’clock, when a Ford drove past him coming east and stopped. A man came back and struck the tourist up with a six-gun, extracting $55 in new $5 bills and two $1 bills. He returned to his car and the tourist followed in the hope of getting his license number, but desisted when the holdup man fired three times at him. At 12:30 the same night, a short distance east of Winona, a man who is said to be named Woods, of Winslow, was held up by a man driving a Ford. Just what booty was obtained in this instance is not known. Deputy Sheriff Rudd went to the scene of the first holdup that night and the next morning as soon as the latter was reported. Deputy John Carrett went east, but nothing was found in the way of a clue.
