ARMED ROBBER
CONSTABLES HELD AT BAY. INCIDENT )N QUEENSLAND. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (10.30 p.nr.) Brisbane, December 18. At Rockhampton an armed robber held at bay two unarmed constables who found him hiding under a bridge. The robber escaped. He compelled a boy to hand over his pony on which he rode into the bush, but returned at night and held up the landlady of a local hotel, who threw a boftle at him and screamed. The robber again escaped and changed into different clothes, since when he has not been seen. The incident is reminiscent of the bushranging days in Australia.
