VOORHEESVILLE. 

— Four men, armed and masked, appeared at the Italian camp near the Indian Ladder, the headquarters of the State Road workers, early on Friday morning last, and endeavored to hold up the men, but one man of the camp got away and alarmed others, and the bandits, thinking there were too many to conquer, hurried away in their waiting automobile without getting any funds. 

— Ernest Goodfellow of this place figured in an automobile accident last Tuesday, when near Delmar, it is said, he attempted to pass Henry Weyrich of Union Church, who was also on his way to Albany. Mr. Weyrich’s car was thrown into the ditch and overturned. His sister, Sara, was thrown through the windshield, and he was pinned underneath the car. Mr. Weyrich was not badly hurt, but the sister was conveyed to the Albany hospital in a serious condition; it is thought she will recover, however. It is said that Mr. Goodfellow proceeded on his way, not looking after the injuries of the occupants of the other car. He was arrested and had to appear on Monday before Justice Hopper in Elsmere, where the accident happened. He pleaded not guilty, and is held to await the action of the grand jury. 

BUFFALO TRACTOR TRUCK
TO BE SHOWN IN ALTAMONT 

The people of Albany have, for the past week, viewed with astonishment the remarkable demonstration of the Buffalo Tractor truck at Broadway and Maiden lane on the site of the old Keeler hotel. Before the eyes of hundreds of spectators a large two and one-half ton truck climbed a stairway 7 feet high to a platform and down again at the lowest speed that any motor vehicle has ever attained — one mile in seven hours. With the motor idle, the huge rear wheels met the straight upward pull as each step was taken without the slightest hesitation. 

Mr. Stockman, in charge of the demonstration, explained that the secret of the truck’s power derives from two transmissions. 

A demonstration will be given on the farm of John Severson, Maple avenue, Altamont, on Saturday at 2 o’clock. Everyone who is interested is invited to attend. 

SOUTH BETHLEHEM 

Mrs. D. W. Smith entertained thirty-two of the young people of this place last Friday evening in honor of her son Rensselaer, the occasion being his birthday. Cards, music and dancing were enjoyed. A most bountiful lunch was served and everyone reported a pleasant evening. 

VILLAGE NOTES. 

— A pocketbook containing quite a sum of money was lost Friday afternoon near the Schaffer property by Mrs. W. Matthews of Voorheesville. A thorough search has failed to bring the lost property to light, and it is certain that it has been picked up by someone. Will the person who found the pocketbook kindly bring it to the Enterprise office, when it will be returned to its owner. A reward will be paid to the honest person returning the pocketbook. 

— A gentleman found a lady’s ring on the lawn of the Lutheran church one day this week. It is at the Enterprise office awaiting its owner. Last week a hand-painted bar pin was found in the village. That is also among the collection at the Enterprise office. 

SLINGERLANDS.
Dr. Fisher M. Joslin of Voorheesville narrowly escaped serious injuries Saturday when his sedan car was struck by a truck near the underground crossing in this village. Dr. Joslin was the only occupant. He managed to crawl from the machine. The damage to the car was comparatively slight.
