Phone That Wasn‘t There, Friday morning when the currtent crime wave struck the town. The Bank of Toronto at the corner ot Bruce und Main was held up and robbed by an armed masked thief at 10.30 a.m. ,The bandit estaped with $5,100 (approx.) but not before he had shnot gnd woundéd John pubinisky who has smce died. This is the story:â€" It was the day after pay day, and more people than usual came to the bank ‘soon after it opened, to cash or deposit cheques. The bandit strode into the. bank‘s Main St. entrance with a mask formed by a balaclava helmet pulled over his face and wearmg blue overalls, pointed a revolver at the customers and bank employees, télling them "This is a hoildâ€"up". f Those who were in the baink say ho had a foreign accent. He ordered them to line up against the wall with their hands ub, and told the tellers, Mrs. Emérson Grant and Mrs, Mary Copeland, to hand over the money in the drawers,. Startled and frightened, the other lady ¢mployeées nearly fainâ€" ted but stood with their hands up. Ordering Melburn Horner to hold open a potato sack while the tellers put the bills into it, the bandit obâ€" served John Dubinsky moving toward the door, still counting his cheque for two weeks pay as a miner at the Hallâ€" nor Mine. He shouted to Dubinsky to stay where he was, but it is doubtful if the miner knew what was going on Or had even grasped the significance of the holdâ€"up. He continued toward the door and the thug shot at him, the bullet going through his back, and lodging in his stomach. Those in the bank looked hnelplessly on as the robber clutched the ‘sack and dashed for the Main Street enâ€" trance to a car the motor of which had been left running, and was off in the direction of the highway, via Main St. VC A V CA 8 4 Percy Atkinson, accountant at the bank, scized his gun, and rushed to the door, firing two shots into the rear Of the car as it started off. H'e! intended getting the tires, but missed. Meanwhile Dubinsky rolled through the Bruce St. entrance onto the snowy sidewalk, doubled up with pain. Lloyd Hunkin, seated in his amâ€" bulance car. was parked outside, waitâ€" ing for his wife to come from sho;â€" ping. He heard the shot but thought it was backfire from a CaT, and called a passerby to help hirp with the inâ€" jured man and took him to Porcupine General Hospital, as he saw he was in need of immediate attention. ~"What happened" he asked pubinâ€" sky. "I don‘t know", the miner said. thin‘k a bomb went off in the bank." _‘ _A few hours later Dubinsky died, ‘though transfussions were given. The {bullet, now in posses’s}o‘n of police, had gone through his liver and entered his lstomach. His daughter, Dora (Mrs. Alec Bolezink) with whom he lived and his wife, were with him when he ~died. o @0 o# 02 CA A CALA ¢ Everything happened so quickly that people were stunned. The bank manâ€" ager, Wm. McDbowell was closeted in his office with Rev. Sspillangaar when the holdâ€"up occurred. He seized his revolver but it would not fire so he was helpless. â€" O T i en ‘me _ 1 n lar~«vre A Ne b h A TSRT, serres, is a McIntyre miner. when arâ€" rested Desserres. was alleged to b? intoxicated, although not a man to arinkt gs a rule as he was noted as an sehse number of which had DecH noted.
