Leonard, Hall & Simmons Iowa Whisky Is Very Deadly. Ames, la., Aug 8. - The police have discovered in a vacant house the dead body of Con Leonard and insensible Charles Hall and Charles Simmons, who had evidently been drugged. The latter were brought to by the aid of stomach pumps. It has been learned that the men obtained only an hour before what they supposed to be whisky. A flask containing the deadly fluid was found and has been sent to the college to be analyzed. It is known who sold the drug and trouble will undoubtedly follow. The meh were residents of Nevada, the county seat, eight miles east of Ames. [Rockford Daily Spectator, Published August 8, 1893]
