A Dog Day Incident in Algona Raises Laughs and Fines
A Mason City man stripped to his waist on a hot Algona day, talked fast and stunned locals. Constable Wright halted him on the road, later jailed by the sheriff, and the court fined Ferguson five dollars for unbecoming conduct while other charges folded into damages against Koepke’s auto party. The judge ultimately sided against Berger and Thiel for ten more dollars, totaling eighty one dollars and eighty cents plus costs.

Lynch Schemmel case ends in bankruptcy court quietus
The Lynch v Schemmel dispute over a $10,000 note ends in the bankruptcy court of Judge Crowell. Lynch failed to file timely in the estate because Schemmel's bankruptcy triggered creditor claims. The court upheld statute bars on tort claims older than two years, disallowing Lynch's claim and reducing his potential share.
