The necessity for. a close guard ever stores 01 explosives in this mining camp was foncibly brought home to mine officials. to police authorities and to the general public early on Tuesday morning when an apparent attempt to do damage at the Broulan mine was thwarted by the alertness of an em- ployee.

Biliock', wounded by a bullet from Norman Plan-t’s revolver in the exchange of shots, is in hospital at Haileyibury for an x-ray examination before an effort is made to extract the slug, while provincial police officers and Matachewan citizens are hunting for the bandit's companion, known only as “Joe,” according to information sup- plied Provincial Constable Allan String- er, of the post here, by the wounded l Biiiock. The pair escaped from the bank pre- mises, located in a small office in the theatre building, with $8,020 in cash. but the money was recovered in full when Biliock was captured. His com- panion, waving a revolver which it is thought may have been unloaded after he had emptied its chambers at the bank teller, R. K. Robinson, evaded pursuers who took up the chase when Manager Plant ran into the street and gave the alarm, and it is thought he has taken refuge in the bush which sur- rounds Maltachewan on all sides.

Bilibok’s condition is regarded as not serious, unless complications should set in. He was taken first to the Of- fice of Dr. F. F.

The bullet, police said, passed through Biliock’ 5 leather belt, entering his body at the hip, inflicting What is thought to she only a' flesh wound. During the afternoon, ‘Biliock gave a statement. to Constawa String- er and Gordon Barber, in which he is alleged to have told of meeting. “Joe" for the first time last week-end- and that they planned the robbery of the premises, the only branch of a char- tered bank in this district.
