Three youths, both male and female of unknown ages, were admitted to Nipawin Union Hospital Sunday night, said Cpl. Brian Jones. One youth has since been released. A male has been sent to hospital in Saskatoon. The condition of the third youth is not known. There is no indication that the drugs were part of a suicide attempt, Jones said. This incident follows a morphine overdose in Nipawin last week at the same house, Jones said. At that time, 15 young people became sick after ingesting morphine tablets at a house party sometime during the evening of Aug. 13 or the next morning - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
