Saturday Spotting’s–from gum balls to weddings…

Clipping out of the Jackson Herald, Jackson, MO April 1907

On last Saturday night some

professionals or some very pro-

ficient amateurs made a raid on

the gum slot machines that were

in our city. They took the two

machines of E. G. Sibley and

the one in front of Bruening &

Kertsner’s and took them up

Houck’s railroad and broke them

open. They got all the chewing

gum that was in the machines

and about $4 in money and com-

pletely wrecked the machines.

These plunderers have not as

yet been found. From the shape

they left the machines in one

is forced to believe that the work

was done by some very worth-

less inhabitants of our city.
