May Have Been Drugged
Charles Jones Dies in St. Joseph Hospital
The word came here last Friday that Chas. Jones had been drugged in a St. Joe saloon and was in a very serious condition. His sister, Mrs. E.F. Norris went to St. Joe Saturday morning. She found that her brother had gone into a saloon and asked for a drink of whiskey and asked to have a laxative put in it. He soon became very sick, but managed to get to his hotel, where one of his sisters works, and told them he had been drugged. He was taken to a hospital and died there at 7 o'clock Thursday morning.
Frank Norris, his brother-in-law, says that Charley was in very bad shape with Bright's disease and that it may be that taking the whiskey in his condition caused his death. As we go to press Thursday evening he does not know whether an autopsy had been held yet or not.
The body was brought home Thursday night and the funeral will be held today.

Obituary
Charles D. Jones, son of Thomas C. and Christina J. Jones, was born forty-eight years ago in Republic county, Ohio.
About twenty-eight years ago he moved to Centralia, where he has made his home since. Mr. Jones was never married. He is survived by one brother, Ralph T. Jones, of Kansas City, Mo.; (and sisters) Mrs. Della C. Martsolf, Mrs. Mary E. Norris, of Centralia; Mrs. Blanche N. Allen, of Corning, Mrs. Maud G. Allen, of St. Joe.
Mr. Jones was wekk known in this community, with many friends. He was of a retiring disposition, but those of us who knew him found he possessed the true qualities of neighborliness and friendship.
He was taken ill at the Saxton hotel, St. Joseph, Mo., on March 27, Friday, and the symptoms were very grave, showing every evidence of ptomaine poisoning. Later developments proved to be of a complicated order. The autopsy proved that death was due to acute membraneous endocarditis. Mr. Jones had been a guest of the hotel for several weeks. Everything that could possibly be done was, there being in constant attendance several surgeons and two nurses. But in spite of all the grim reaper death appeared and he passed away at 7 a.m., April 2, 1914.
His brother, Ralph Jones of Kansas City; Mrs. Frank Norris of Centralia, and Mrs. Maud Allen of St. Joseph, Mo., were present at the death bed.
Funeral services were conducted in the Congregational church, April 3, 1914, Rev. Robt. D. Bussey officiating. Burial at Centralia cemetery.
