IS MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY

Well-Known St. Louis Tobacconist Is Found Dead. St. Louis, Mo., special: John Moog, who had kept a tobacco shop on Fourth street opposite the Southern hotel for the last twenty years, was murdered and his cash box, in which he was supposed to have kept a large sum, is missing. George Dalton has been arrested in connection with the crime, but he stoutly maintains his innocence. There is little or no direct evidence against any one, and the police are completely puzzled. Moog lived in a small room in his store, and the body was undressed when found.
