streets and made away with several
bottles Of narcotics and also with gold
pieces used in filling teeth. The rob-
berry was, reported to the police and
they are making efforts to locate the
robber, while working on the theory
that the thief was user of drugs. AL
though the exact time of the robbery is
not known, as it was not discovered
until Wednesday, it is believed to have
occurred during the noon hour At this
time DR.. Murray is accustomed to leave
the outer office open while he goes to
lunch. He always locks the office where
he works and from where the articles
were stolen. 1t is believed that the thief

outer office into the one where the rob

What promised to be gay party
was nipped in it's infancy shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock Wednesday night when
the "raidng squad Of the police de-
partment swooped down upon the resi-
dence Of William Burk, 126 East Fourth
street and took captive l39 pints of
whisky, two barrels Of beer and one
gallon jug Of port wine. When the Of
ficers arrived on the scene grapha-
phone was grinding out a swinging
one-step and the carpets had been
pushed back for the accommodation
of terpsichorean trippers. In the dining
room large table groaned under the
weight of dutch" eats. while in the
basement below, the police found large
cakes Of ice reposing upon the two bar
rels Of beer which were evidently in
training for the coming feast. While
the search Of the premises was in pro-
gress, two automobiles drove up and
disgorged several guests. The sight OF
the bluecoats caused the faces OF all
to register disappointment.
