MORPHINE STOLEN
From Dir. J. MCCue BOwCOCk'S
Office in the Golf
Building.

Thieves supposed to be dope fends
entered the office OF Dr. j. McCue
Bowcock on the second floor OF the
Golf building late Tuesday afternoon
and after gaining entrance to his pri-
yate Office by using a key to open the
door pried open a drawer on his op-
Grating table and stole 500 morphine
tablets. Nothing else in the office
was disturbed
DR. Bowcock left his Office at 5
o'clock and went to dinner. He re-
turned at 7 o'clock and when he en-
tered his private Office he noticed the
drawer open and thought that he had
carelessly left it open. He took his
keyes out of his pocket to loci; the
drawer and it was then he noticed
the lock had been forced. He eX-
amined the contents of the drawer
and found the morphine gone.
From all appearances the thief or
thieves knew where the drug was
kept as there were several other
drawers on the table but only the
one in which the morphine was kept
was bothered.
