DELANSON 

— It is reported that Raymond Wilber, while returning from Schenectady late Saturday night, was held up by three men who demanded his money. They got $25, all he had with him, and gave him back one dollar, telling him that would be enough to get home with. In the meantime they put his car out of commission.

GUILDERLAND CENTER 

— Warren Sampson, while walking up Altamont hill on Sunday afternoon, was struck from the back by an automobile, and thrown about thirty feet. The driver of the car brought him to his boarding place at the home of Charles Fares. An examination by Dr. Hurst revealed a broken bone in one leg below the knee, and bruises. The young man was walking at the extreme edge of the road, and the accident, it is said, was entirely the fault of the driver, who lost control of his car while passing another auto coming down the hill. We hope Mr. Sampson makes a speedy recovery.
