Oklahoma City, Okla.—An unusual
story of how he had been taken twelve
miles east of Oklahoma City then
beaten and robbed of a small quantity
of morphine, $60 in cash and a large
diamond, was told by Dr. B. Cheston
Goldberg, of this city, recently.
Police and county officers were
working on the case hoping to dis-
cover some clue to the mysterious ab-
duction of the doctor. Officers think
they have clues to know the persons
who took Goldberg out and left him
lying unconscious in a mud hole in the
small hours of the morning.
