EJKSTOLEN FROM SAFE IN ■DRUGSTORE Large Sum of Money Is Overlooked by Robbers, Police today are investigating burglary of the Hook Drug Company store, 105 N. Illinois St., of $2,000. In both the drug sto/e robbery and hold-up of a filling station at Ft. Wayne Ave. and Tenth St. large sums iif money were overlooked by the thieves. WilUum Coatney. merchant policeman, 2271 Union St.. found a cellar door to the Hook Drug Company, open and a later investigation by E. L. Itoesch, 1401 Park Ave.. vice president of the company, repealed that burglar had worked the combination on the safe and taken $2,000. Two hundred dollars in cash and checks was left on the floor. Police say the burglar probably entered the basement and used a pass key to get into the store balcony, where the safe was. George Flaugher, 2804 X. New Jersey St., told Sergeant Sheehan and squad that a colored hold-up man followed him into the station of the Supreme Oil and Refining Company at Ft. Wayne Ave. and Tenth St. when he opened early today and pointed a gun at him, ordering that he open the safe. He complied, he said, and was then ordered into the br.ck room, where the hold-up man gave him a piece of rope and ordered he tie his feet together. The bandit tied his hands, he said, and shut him in. Sheehan said that Flaugher told him that he did not look to see what was taken until the police arrived, and then it was discovered that S4O to SSO was gone. The police say bundles containing $145 were in plain view in ' the safe, but were not touched. Thomas Hughes. 963 W. ThirtySecond St., report wheels, tires and a coat valued at $245 taken Roseoe Campbell, 827 W. New York St., states his poolroom entered and S6O taken. One hundred and fifty pennies were taken from the Charles Gehrlach, grocery. 344 W. Washington St., and seventy-five pennies from the William Burton, grocery, 739 X. Xoble St. Arthur M. Milllron, 31$ 4 E. Market St., reports a satchel of veterinary surgeons’ Instruments, valued at $65. taken from car parked at 1051 Division St. Dave Wiggers, night man at the Delaware Garage 815 X.
