10 x 14" reward poster posted by the State of California for a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the person that poisoned Julius Tresler by putting strychnine in his coffee. A search of newspapers over the next year did not show that the murderer was ever caught. Brings to mind a Tom Paxton song "how'd you like a cup of coffee?" Colusa California
