DOCTORS HOME RANSACKED
81 900 Eur Coat Money and Jewelry
Taken From Narcotic Home.

Four we'll dressed men who shad :
owed the home of DIR. o. F. Narcotic,
43S Woodlawn avenue, last Saturday,
for forty-five minutes, may have been
the thieves who entered the house
Tuesday afternoon, ransacked it thor
oily, and stole furs valued at approx
imately $1,000. together with a pock-
etbook containing between $50 and
SEQ. and jewelry.
Mrs. Narcotic Saturday afternoon
became suspicious of four men who
were hanging about the neighbor-
hood, and who came up on the porch
of the house after making thoro
survey. She was so suspicious that
she did not answer the door when
they rang but instead called the po-
Ice when they withdrew to the park
ing<and sat there for a long time
The police. Mrs. Narcotic says be-
heved the men were peddlers or
agents and did not make an invcgtt-
CATION. The Narcotics were at home
the remainder OF that day, practically
all day Sunday and Monday. :.
But on Tuesday. Mrs. Narcotic left
the house at little after IL o'clock,
and returned with Doctor Narcotic at
about 6 o'clock to find the kitchen
window and screen broken open, and
the house in confusion, with the eX-
ception of two rooms-the dining
room and the guest room.
A fur coat, scarf and muir, Valuel
at more than $1,000, were gone, as
were three gold watches, a cameo, and
other jewelry. No clothing was taken.
and the siIverware in the dining room
was undisturbed.
The loss. Mrs. Narcotic believes, is
at least partially covered by insurance.
The theory. is advanced that gang
OF fur thieves is operating in Topeka.
On\ Sunday night fur coat valued at
$1,000 was taken from the home of
j. +. Haskell, 433 Lincoln street, and
another coat valued at 500 from the
home of Elmer Bagley, 1882 Boswell
avenue.
