Dallas Doctors
Robbed; Thief
Secures Drugs

Dallas, Or, Oct. IA sneak
thief who was evidently a cope
fiend was doing business in Dallas
yesterday.
AS is usual with these fellows
this one made a speciality of doc
tors offices. He is known to have
entered two places. In the office
Of DIR. b. Fl. McCalon he found the
office change hidden in a drawer
and made away with the sum. IN
the office of DR.. A. y. Starbuck the
thief is thought to have only Sc.
cured some drugs and left behind
him an old butcher knife.
The officers have a good descrip
tion OF the man, as he is believed
to be the same Individual who made
q round of the Doctors offices Tues
day afternoon claiming that he had
q wife that needed treatment. He
Is supposed to have secured ad-
mission to the offices by the use OF
skeleton key.
