It notes voting is secret at Bailey State Bank and lists committees counting ballots while likening missed votes to pearls slipping from a Venetian lady’s broken bracelet.

Trainmen Flee From Corpse In Stench Shock
Sioux City health officials condemned a casket and ordered the body of August Hendrickson, 24, of Battle Creek, Iowa, placed in sealed boxes after a mangled death on a Minnesota rail line. The corpse caused a unbearable odor aboard a baggage car, forcing the crew to abandon it and seek undertaker care in St James and Sioux City. John Hendrickson, brother, traveled from Battle Creek to retrieve the body. The incident blamed on a negligent undertaker and prompted health inspections.
