SAARI i Finally, Three Hamiltonians Shot By Fleeing Hold-up Man Druggist and Citizens: Wounded When! Bandit is Disturbed in Crime Hamilton, Oct. 1.--Bullets from .nandit's revolver wounded three citi- zens late Saturday night when a rob- bery at the drug store of R. B, Irving, Main and Bay streets, was frustrated. The thug escaped on foot, It was his second holdup of the night and the third within 24 hours. Shot through the wrist, Mr..Irving, who resides at 84 Glenfern Avenue, was rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital, Percy Collins, 101 King street west, aged 24 years, a paserby who went to Irving's assistance when he heard the firing, was shot through the right arm and is in the General Hospital. Mrs. J. R. Dudley, 15 George street, who lives 'within half a block of the "drug store, stepped to her front door when she heard the shooting] and nar- rowly missed death. The bandit fired at her, but the bullet went low and, after glancing off the sidewalk and a brick wall, grazed both her legs. Be- fore it hit her it had spent much of its force; and she was not seriously hurt. I'OURTH FIRED AT. A fourth citizen whose name was not {earned was fired at as he crossed the Caroline Street school grounds. When the shot whistled near his head he ran in the opposite direction, and the police heard nothing 'mo=e of him, Several citizens who had trailed the gunman told the police of this inci- dent. The Irving hold-up was shortly be- fore 11 o'clock. At 8 o'clock the same man appeared at the drug store of C. J. Cunningham; 454 King street east, and covered John Cunningham, son of the owner, and H. Potter, 336 King street west, his chum, with a revolver and told them he wanted noney. The pair were backed to tne rear air, and the robber took $25 from the till and ran. "I don't want to hurt you, boys, but I need the money, so keep quiet cad let me get it," he said, After the Irving shooting the man ran across the school grounds to Main street and through a back yard. The police were hot on his heels, but he soon vanished. The search for him ¢omtinded from a few moments after the shooting until well after daybreak, Detective Walter Hagan, who was the first to respond, was later assisted By, Deputy Chief Constable Goodman, In- spector J. R Crocker and members of his detective department and a squad of uniformed men and motorcycle con- stables. Tonight hospital authorities report- ed that the injuries suffered by Irv- ing and Collins would necessitate hos- pital care for some time, but that they were not considered to be in a serious | condition. Irving was alone in the store when the crime was attempted. The thug was describal as being about 35 years of age, Hb feet 6 inches tall, clean- shaven and rather heavily built, wear- ing a pin stripe blue suit and dark fedora hat. Irviig stepped to the cofnter and found himself looking into the muzzle of a .38-calibre auto- 'mati; revolver, "Stick 'em up and keep them there!" the Landit demanded. Irving had just raised Loth arns when the front door opened and a cus- tomer walked in. Apparently the crook feared capture and decided to shoot his way cut for he turred at Irving, shot at. him "and dashed for the front door. The bullet passed through a piie of soap, drilling a wide hole in one piece, before entering the druggist's wrist. of the store with their hands in the Apple Barrels Soar in Price Sequel to Largest Crop in His- tory of Annapolis Valley Kentville, N.S., Oct. 1.--The largest apple crop in the Annapolis Valley's history has created an unprecedented demand for barrels, .and container prices have skyrocketed to almost (double those asked at the season's opening. With fruit moving from the valley fu huge volume, co-operatives are working at capacity to supply the de- mand. As the result of the scarcity, the price has risen from 18 cents per barrel to around 35 cents. The shortage is laid to the fact that the crop far exceeded early expecta- tions of a not unusually latge pick. Latest estimates state it will reach to the 2,000,000 harrel mark, setting an all-time record for a valley crop. .. -- oy Picture of Hand on Knee Of Girl Causes Gossip Savannah, Ga.--When the Rightway Magazine, house organ of a (jeorgia railroad, published a group picture of the Misses Kdith Brown, Billye Ander- son and Florence Steadwell it occa- sloned quite a commotion.
