Hearing noise on Highway 81
near their home Sunday night, Mr..
and Mrs. Thane o. White were awak-
ened from their sleep. Peering from
a window in the upper portion of the
house, Mrs. White saw an automobile
stop short distance up the highway
and remembering that only a few
nights before their automobile had
been drained of it's fuel, she waited a
few minutes and then fired shotgun
in the direction of the garage on the
property. The car which had stopped
along the highway was put in motion
very shortly afterward and the fol-
lowing morning an empty five-gallon
gasoline can was found in the barn
yard which had evidently been aban-
doned by the intruder whose intent
to- steal more gasoline had been stimuli
taneously changed with the firing OF
the shotgun.
