anxious and phoned several times
to the house and received no answer

who went to investigate and found
Mr. Baker lying in the garden with
a partly filled container of berries.
Dr, Fletcher was called and found

of bandits and at the point of a re
volver forced the officer to drive
through Port Elgin, Kincardine,
Goderich and then Mitchell. At Mit
chell about 1.30 o’clock Sunday mor
ning one of the bandits entered the
garage of E. W. Fawn and held up
Gordon Fawn, 19, son of the pro
prietor and Donald Graham, 18 an
attendant. He relieved them of $23
and ordered them into a dark corner
of the workshop. Malcolm Graham
and Fred Brown then entered the
garage and the bandit held them up
also. When the bandit attempted to
leave he fell into an oil pit but quick
ly scrambled out and ran to where
the car was'parked but it had dis
appeared and the bandit ran down
the street. Donald Graham secured
his revolver and fired six shots but
none of them hit the fleeing man.
Fawn got into his father’s Durant
Coupe and gave pursuit picking up
Donald Graham who jumped on to
the left running board and Malcolm
who ju-Snped on to the spare tire at
the rear. About the same time the
bandit jumped on to the right side
of the car and ordered Fawn to drive
on. Malcolm was
upon refusing the
shot which struck

wag then threatened and he jumped,
into the ditch injuring his leg, Fawm

panion not finding him ordered the
officer out of the car about two
miles out of Mitchell and he- also
drove oh alone. As yet be has iiot
been captured but the car whs found
