A Century Ago in the Headlines | St. Louis News

Step back into 1926, when headlines pulsed with wild tales: a toll bridge suddenly free, a teen arrested for being shot at because someone admired her, and a bottle from a plane smashing into a woman’s car. Amidst the chaos, a hunt for clues in a club shooting went cold, while bootleggers hired assassins and ex-constables met violent ends. Four men denied a $75,000 bond, two arrests loomed over a murder named Doss, and injunctions against “dry law” nuisances expired after just a year. This episode peels back the curtain on a world where news traveled slower but stories were just as shocking — revealing how much has changed — and how little some things have — in the way we consume headlines and care about what’s breaking.
