A massive fire swept a Bremen area burning thousands of barrels of petroleum.

Wind pushed flames toward the Elbe, and workers protected nearby laborers cottages. The town on the Elbe’s south bank near Lawburg, with about 15 000 residents, is industrial in character.

All Over the Brute Leads Davenport Catch List
A garbled cricket of names and events details big catches led by All Over the Brute, with Ang. Studten decker claiming a 62 pound vatfish. References to associations, meetings, and local happenings fill the fragmentary text, including a Las senport business group extending a conference date and a horse show at the fair grounds.

Supreme Court Denies Interstate Charge Recovery
The Supreme Court, in a lengthy opinion by Judge Kinno, ruled that under the common law, a Jasper County man cannot recover $10,000 overcharges paid on shipments to Chicago. The court held that common law cannot be applied to interstate affairs, denying recovery and signaling few similar cases to come. Weather and crops notes follow, with spring grain concerns, and a separate peculiarly argued railroad case.
