He Goes Bump Wanted to Mob Him
Webster City Iowa Sept Poor old Bob Martin once with The Yankee Regent faced a mob pursuit as a killing was alleged near a watermelon patch. He fled the scene after wrecking his stage venture at Fort Dodge due to financial ruin. Martin, once linked to The Beggar Prince, invested heavily in LaCrosse Wisconsin property to mount the show. Now penniless after less than a month on the road, he faces a lean period despite his acting talent. The Yankee Regent has toured a dozen large towns in the past two weeks.
