Poison Attempt At Boarding House Sends Detectives Ill
Tuesday night at Mrs. Kanouff's on First Street several boarders fell violently ill after a suspected poison meal. Dr. Bigler labeled it a poison case with possible canned goods as the source. Detectives Reed and Craig were among the sick, with Reed still weak and unable to testify in court. Officials plan to test remaining food to identify the poison. Public opinion is split over whether liquor interests or an accidental act caused the attempt.
