Iowa Drowning, Fires, and Legal Notes Highlight June Incidents
Reports from Iowa detail the drowning of Charles Anderson near Warren county while bathing at the Middle River on June 30. A Sioux City mill fire caused five thousand dollars in damage. Insane hospitalization followed for John Wallace after a failed suicide, and mood shifts led to confinement. State Railroad policy remarks surface as lawmakers discuss compliance with rate laws. A gasoline stove explosion claims Mrs. Reed of Iowa Falls, and Mrs. Marshall dies by self-inflicted gunshot at Council Bluffs. Drownings and disappearances, a Masons code update banning liquor sales, and a Waterloo farmer’s mysterious disappearance are noted along with a Mexican War horse claim approved for Col. Shultz.
