Show Baker Pharmacy Broken Into And Burglarized The Baker Pharmacy in Delta was broken into and burglarized sometime between midnight Thurs day and daybreak Friday. Apparently Appar-ently a person or persons unknown desperately wanted some narcotics for a drawer full of narcotics, drawer dra-wer and all, had been taken from the prescription room. The theft was discovered at 8 a. m. when Mrs. Cecile King, daytime day-time clerk, opened the store. Cecil Baker, owner, was notified at his home, and came at once to check the damages. Entry had been made through a hole hacked in the back wall of the store, where an inner door had been battered along the jamb, and the outer door, on the alley, had been broken off at the lock. Wooden siding had been ripped off the partition to make a hole large enough for someone to crawl thru. In the prescription room Mr. Bak er found that the stock had been shuffled through and the drawer of narcotics taken. Two pistols had been taken from another drawer, dra-wer, and a third pistol, recently . brought in by a costumer, was j missing. Two boxes of ammunit- j ion were gone. The dial on the safe had been ! hit with a blunt instrument, and j dented, so that the safe could not be opened until after an expert J from Salt Lake arrived. i Both cash registers had been loot ed, and around $100 taken. The j large register at the back of the store had been forced open and the front of the drawers torn out. Nothing was missing from the jewelry jew-elry case by the cash register, but several inexpensive watches had been taken 'from a display case on the counter. Mr. Baker had worked at the pharmacy until 11 p. m, Thursday. A night light was on at the rear of the store by the cash register that was damaged. Investigation is being continued by Sheriff Cuthbert Robison and deputy sheriff O. J. Bennett. Among Am-ong the clues that were left were fingerprints and a hammer. Sunday Sun-day a member of the state criminal crimi-nal identification bureau was in Delta to investigate. |
