Robbers Foiled in Frost Hold Up Attempt
Two armed men entered John R. Lemon’s Frost general store before 7 pm demanding money. Lemon refused, was struck and knocked down, but alarms drew neighbors and the robbers fled toward Cook’s Crossing, with Athens officers alerted but no suspect captured. The assailants were described as two men about 24, in dark clothing, seen boarding an eastbound freight at Cook’s Crossing. Lemon, a respected local merchant, was uninjured overall though he suffered cuts.
