Burglars Pass Up
Drug Store Cash
For Rum Supply

NEW YORK. N Y, Oct. a.
Thieves broke into the store of
the Falkner Drug Company early
today and stole $4,000 worth of al
cohol and choice whisky. That
the thieves were after nothing but
liquor is shown by the fact that
they made no attempt to take any
money, although there was more
than $500 in cash on the desk,
which they had to pass to reach
the liquor. Drugs and perfumes
of great value. cartons of cigarettes
and boxes of good cigars were also
ignored by the raiders.
Entrance was made through a
steel door in the rear. which had
been heavily barricaded with cross
beams. More than 100 gallons of
liquor was taken, including FIVE
cases of whisky in pint bottles, one
five-gallon can of whisky, one bar
rel of fifty gallons, from which
the contents were drawn into re-
ceptacles. more easily conveyable,
and ten five-gallon cans of alcohol.
