Story County Fair Officers Ready For Great County Event
The Story County fair officers are preparing for the big county event as Des Moines state officials boycott express companies over tax handling. In Boone, John and Oswald, along with John Johnson and Iver, were fined 31 dollars each for seining fish after pleading guilty before the squire. The seining seine was seized, measuring six feet by sixty feet, amid broader debate on who should bear the internal revenue tax. Will Shall of Boone sues Oscar B. Arie for 10000 dollars for alienation of wife’s affections, Arie being son of a local liquor wholesaler. Skull’s troubles compound as his father dies, he loses a leg, he attempted suicide, and now a lawsuit follows with Stevens as Shull’s attorney.
