TOOWOOMBA SENSATION. TOOWOOMBA, Nov. 30. - After barricading the Toll Bar-road at one of its steepest sections a masked man attempted to hold up the driver of a motor-truck last night, but the driver of the truck accelerated and escaped. According to the police report, Stanley Poore was driving a truck down the Toll Bar-raod about When taking a bend Poore saw a number of saplings and rails lying on the road. As he approached the obstacles he applied the brakes. A man with a black handkerchied over his face rushed from behind an embankment with a large stone in his hand and shouted that the truck should be stopped. At the same time another man came towards the truck from the other side of the road. Poore accelerated and drove straight at the man who was standing on the road in front of the truck. The man sprang aside, but as he did so, threw a big stone which struck the wind screen without breaking it. The police later were informed, but failed to find any trace of the men. From the Daily Mercury, Thursday 1 December 1932.
