Attempted death by chloroform shocks Algona guests
In Algona the New Algona hotel hosted a scene of intrigue as Jim Dale lay unconscious on the wash room floor, a chloroform scented towel nearby and a partial ounce of chloroform found in his pocket. Doctors concluded he inhaled the drug in a personal crisis, amid gossip linking the act to love and jealousy. A nearby incident involved poultry thieves tracked by a farmer who thwarted them by draining gasoline from a car’s tank. The page also notes unrelated local notices and court entries.
