Indictments Tie Kansas City and Denver Officials to Traction Bill
In St Louis two officials Robert M. Snyder of Kansas City and Councilman Frederick G. Athoft of Denver face bribery and conspiracy charges related to the passage of the Central Traction franchise bill in 8. Pots of antique coins and tied currencies were found at the Robinson homestead in Judson New York after a missing person case. The estate now valued at about $50,000 follows the discovery of concealed treasure. Athenstadt, a Chicago barber, killed his wife by razor and then attempted suicide, later fleeing with threats to shoot. Police take custody of two girls, aged 26 and 5, as the couple’s family situation unfolds. Baseball standings across major leagues show Chicago, St. Louis, New York atop the National and American Leagues with multiple city entries reflected in Des Moines and Denver teams.
