That was the last Johnson recalls. Money Was ' Missing. ‘When taken to the hospital John- son’s money was gone and so was his new hat and tie, his old cap having been taken from his pocket and put on his head.

Symptoms indicate opium poisoning, the doctor said. PREDICTS AID FOR U. 5. Viviani Forecasys Help From This Country As Soon As League i Drnsfic_‘ally Amended.
