Slot Machine Robbery at Local Restaurant
A pair of ordinary appearing men entered the Peoplea Cafe last Saturday and stole a slot machine, escaping in a new Ford V-8. The incident, attributed to an organized group targeting machines for mobile profits, left proprietor G. Selgeld unaware until the alarm was raised by Fred Southwick. The bandits fled as the machine was taken, while Selgeld did not own it. Nearby reports note visiting Ames residents A. D. Gitner and family, a birth at Eagle Grove, and various local social mentions.
