NOT THE MAN WANTED IN MYSTERY CASE AND A DROWNING NEAR GRAND VIEW
Residents of Grand View declare Nicholas Pickard of Monroe Texas is not the William Pickard sought for the Grand View murder of William Tatts thirty years ago. Pickard proved a Mansfield, Dakota resident at the time. Sherman Leets, son of the murdered man, says the claim is false and that payment and a ticket were given to send him home. Also reported, William S. Hardy from Minneapolis narrowly escaped drowning after ice broke on the Cedar River near Waterloo. He was saved by his brother and a friend after a five minute plunge. In Webster County, 102 year old Mrs. Sarah Hanson of Badger died of pneumonia, survived by Ole Williamson and others. Governor Cummins seeks Dacian Marino, a Gypsy still held in Alexandria Virginia for kidnapping 14 year old Marcia Mitchell from Council Bluffs. The girl was reportedly lured away during a caravan through Council Bluffs.
