ROBBERS SCARED OFF BY SHOT GUN Attempt Made to Rob Hueston’s Safe Gas Taken at Carson’s Service Station About 3,30 a.m. last Saturday thiev- ■es entered the lumber and chopping mill of R. J. Hueston & Co., and at­ tempted to reach money which wa-s in the safe. They were successful in op­ ening the outer door and had gone outside the mill to wait for the charge which they had set for the inner door. .Mr. George Galloway, who lives quite near, having heard the commotion, fir- >ed at them from an upstairs window. This frightened the thieves who then ■drove away. The .intrduers gained entrance -by ,a window and blasted the heavy door from the safe with two -charges of ex­ plosive. The third charge had been .set for the inside chest containing the money and checks and it is believed the men went ouside until the explos- ‘ ion would be over when they were sighted by Galloway. A jimmy was found lying on the floor. Carson’s ser- •vice station was also broken into and . .an amount of gasoline taken. Provincial 'Constables Rutherford ;and P. C.
