The Klotz Garage here was the
scene of another attempted robbery
on Tuesday night of last week, when
the would-be thieves were taken by
surprised and frightened away by Mr..

while they were within the building
gathering up goods to carry away.
Mr.. Klotz has been the victim upon
two or three former occasions of rob-
bers. He was awaked Tuesday night
by the noise of a machine passing by
and incidentally he arose from. his
bed and looking out saw a car stand

he hurriedly dressed and taking
round. about course from his home ar
rived at the garage just as the rob-
bers smashed a glass and entered the
building. Hearing them and seeing
by a f1ashlight what they were doing
Mr.. Klotz fired his pistol which caused
the men to drop what they had in
their hands and make break for their
car which was being garded by one
of the number and in which they made
their escape. Other residents of the
town heard the report of the firearm
but paid no attention to it, not sus-
pecting that a near-robbery was be-
ing pulled off.
