New Road Near End and Odd Death in Adair
The Adair region reports a baffling murder case. W. D. Schenk, a 30 year old constable, is found dead near his home with a gunshot wound and a revolver nearby. His mud stained clothes and umbrella far from the body fuel doubt of suicide, as money disappears from his pockets and coroner dismisses immediate cause. In Clinton a nurselike Miss Gussie Ocker suffers a strange ailment with nervous prostration amid tooth nerve extraction and partial awakenings. Washington notes no political meaning to Iowa campaign buttons for President and Shaw. In Waterloo Nick Kelderling, a farmer, is seriously injured by a bull and the animal is killed.
