Description: "04/24/1962: At 10:30 p.m., the Inland Natural Gas company's six-inch pipeline on the Kootenay river, near Glade, was bombed. Bombers dug a hole four feet deep in order to be able to plant the explosives under the pipe. Although service to consumers was not interrupted (the firm had a standby plant in Glade) damage to the line totalled $3,726."
