Fraudulent electric belt peddler robs Clifton crowd
A man calling himself Morris McRath rode into Clifton West Virginia in a rig drawn by two white horses. He offered to sell electric belts and enticed money from the crowd by promising a ten dollar bill and random cash drops. While alarms rose, the crowd grew eager to part with cash but the man vanished with hundreds in a box, leaving townsfolk to suspect future sales will be met with caution. A Denver women’s club chemistry lecture ended with members fleeing after a speaker warned about face powder containing a toxin.
