Drugged and Robbed at Vandalia Depot
A sick coal miner John Ward of Riverton was found in a box car at Vandalia depot Sunday evening after being drugged. He was taken to the Central Hotel for hours of treatment to remove the danger, with a union transfer card found on him and two suspects being sought as possible assailants. Ward reports friends gave drinks that led to the robbery of $34 as he moved toward East St. Louis and Troy. He swore out warrants for two men. Also notes include testimonials for King’s New Discovery and Bucklen’s Arnica, plus local ads.
