Assistant Chief of Police Robert Plettner, Bellevue, was removed
to Speers Hospital in Dayton, Thursday afternoon for treatment. He has been
feeling ill for some time and Dr. Barker, who is attending him, is of the
opinion that he has typhoid fever.
He is also suffering from nervous prostration, thought to have been brought on by loss of sleep. During the last three weeks he, as agent for the Balke estate has been up until after midnight attending the wants of the various secret societies. He was much improved Friday morning.
