Dec. 8, 1909: The operator of a food wagon at 9th and Main streets is shot to death after refusing to give some food to a drunk man. The killer escapes through a “marble yard” and either went to Broadway or 8th Street. A police officer tried to take the victim to the hospital via streetcar, but the man died en route.
