They looked the situation over, questioned until they were satisfied and then escorted the groggy ones to their home as a final check on the authenticity of their stories. 2 | ; They not only didn't disregard small reports. They didn't get riled up on a big one. They moved in on what looked like an indus trial accident out at the Glidden Feed Co. and efficiently put together facts that made it look like a brutal slugging. Man Was Slugged

The calls have greatly increased since the slugging waves have given citizens a pad case of nerves,
