ATTEMPTED ROBBERY Early Sunday morning t'he doors of the storeroom of the Exeter Rural Hydro at the rear of Dr. J. Ward’s were forced open and night constable W. Wareing coming upon the scene noticed the doors swinging and in­ vestigated, He found that the lock had been forced, a bolt drawn through the door, a nut having been stripped off the bolt on the inside. The discovery was made about 2.30 o’clock and Mr. Robt. Crawford, an employee, was notified. A check-up of the tools revealed that nothing was missing and it is thought that Mr. wareing must have come upon the scene just after entrance had been made to the building and had scared the would-be thieves away.
