Bankers Given Further Time in Indictment Challenge
John E. Hartenbower and George P. Hillabrand of the Tonica Exchange bank appeared in circuit court before Judge Eldredge as attorneys moved to quash the indictments for illegal banking. The court delayed pleading until the motion to quash is decided, allowing extra affidavits. Arguments to determine grand jury legality likely take two to three weeks, delaying trial. Local notes mention Jessie Peterson aiding Mrs. Warner, George Hetrick buying store goods in Peoria, Mrs. Sarah Chance visiting Granville, John Beck losing five milk cows, Cora Allen with a cold, Willis Deininger’s horse loss, Marguerite Reichwine returning from Depue, and Deininger’s election as road commissioner along with visits by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Woodke and William Kays of Tonica to the Edwards home.
