Concealed Under a Bed: $40,000
Worth in Hands of Police At [92 Canton Road, within a few paces of the Central police station opium to the value of $40,- 000 was seized on Saturday by a party consisting of an inspector and several plain clothes men.
The opium was cunningly concealed in the house under the bed of a man who was stated to be the cook. Yunnan, Indian and a large quantity of the much sought after and expensive Persian opium, as well as considerable paraphernalia, were discovered by the raiding party. At first no trace of the owners could be discovered. The custodian of the drug had evidently been informed of a proposed visit to the premises by the police, and still at large. Det.-Sergt. Douglas, on returning late in the afternoon, however, arrested a man who was later changed at the Mixed Court with being concerned with others in solling the opium.
This is one of the biggest con-' past.
