Jeremiah Atkins, who runs a store and filling station on Route £11, going into Warrenton, was approached by two strange men on August 22 at his place of business near Amissville. The men tried to force Mr. Atkins into driving them in his pick-up truck iidto t#»e town (of Washington. When he refused, he was badly beaten by the men who also drew a knife on iMr. Atkins. In the struggle, as Atkins tried to take the knife from the men, he received a badly cut finger.

Hearing someone approaching the store, the men ran out the back entrance, leaving no trace. Blood hounds were called and they could track the men as far as the woods and there it ended. So far, there has been no identification of the strangers.
