Shooting at Keokuk stems from grievance over employment
Timothy J. Hickey, a Keokuk city commissioner in charge of public improvements, was shot and seriously wounded by laborer William Dunn who also wounded himself. The motive remains unclear though Dunn blamed Hickey for employing his former wife as housekeeper. The report lists numerous other local items from Burlington conventions to drownings and new school contracts.

IOWA PRISON PROBE TO STUDY METHODS ACROSS STATES
Governor Carroll will extend the prison probe study to other states to compare methods for penal institutions and reformatories. The panel led by George Cosson, Parley Sheldon, and Judge M A Roberts has largely covered similar ground to the governor’s plan, who intends to add his ideas and push prison legislation next session. He favors road work for convicts and envisions a venereal disease colony alongside reforms in jail confinement.
