The Case of the "Rough Looking and Dirty" Fellows in 1918

From the August 29, 2018, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1918, 100 Years Ago.

"Four fellows, rough looking and dirty,  were lurking around the railroad station this morning and when they saw an officer coming, whose coat happened to fly open enough to show a star,  the boys very hastily made themselves absent.

"When the Sterling passenger train came in, they all boarded the train between the tender and first coach, and one was dragged a few feet before getting on the train.  It is probably a good thing for the city that they made their departure in this manner, as it would have been necessary to send them on their way had the police discovered them."
