FAILED IN ATTEMPT TO GET FREE GASOLINE

Unknown persons—Sunday night filed the hinges from the door of the electric pump at the Herath gas station in an attempt to get a supply of gasoline for their car. When the door was finally opened they were foiled in their attempt to get the gas, as the pump is worked by electricity and the power had been cut off by the owners when the station was closed for the night. The work was probably done by som£ one in a stolen car, who had run short of gasoline. Warren Robinson returned from Wesley hospital in Chicago Sunday night where he .went last Wednesday for treatment. His condition is much better.
