The would-be rob­ bers forced the boiler room door but; failed to get into the main building as the dooi; was heavily barred. The same night safecrackers blew open th,e safe at Thompson Brothers’ Creamery at Mildmay and also car­ ried the safe from Koenig’s Garage in the same village. Police are of the opinion that the gang who worked in Mildmay went there after failing to get into the creamery here. At Thompson’s Creamery the outer strong box^was blown but the robbers failed to get the cash from the inner safe when they could not force it op­ en.. Koenig’s safe was carted away and was later found blown open near Brampton, It did not contain any cash so the robbers again got nothing for their trouble. Tara and Lucknow creameries had been recently robbed and it is believ­ ed that the same gang of yeggmen are $2,200 SUBSCRIBED IN TWO DAYS Although the people of Wingham have subscribed $2200 in two days to the Red Cross, it will take every ef­ fort on the part of the people to reach the objective set — $4,000.00.
