Widespread Iowa Crime Reports and Dairy Figures
A collage of 1890s Iowa items includes homicide and suicide cases in Decorah, Rend township, and Waukon, plus a Decorah arrest of a young woman accompanying a man. It notes Clayton County deaths, a Oelwein street robbery, and a mistaken tale about sawdust feed. It tallies Iowa creameries and milk stations, and cites Rev. Wing's divorce and marriage news, a wedding in Elkader, and a Stratford murder mystery tied to a Boone horse theft.
