Nan Patterson walks free and asserts she plans to quit the stage. Critics speculate on a shift away from show business.
The piece notes Freem M Conaway as a potential secretary of state and mentions possible population changes in Iowa. It covers Tom Percell’s critical condition, a weather friendly road scheme, and Chicago strike remarks. It also cites Pa Smith delivering Decoration Day in Ames, Nan Patterson rumors, Gov Cummins’ proposals, Emory English’s state printer candidacy, and Ames Intelligencer’s souvenir edition as a town booster.
