C Arthur Elder, Emmitsburg, could not identify the robber or license number. The incident occurred as he neared Muddy Run bridge while driving home in a Chevrolet. The car pursued at 60 to 63 mph, tried to force him off the road, and headed toward Waynesboro before stopping near Baker’s Filling Station.
