Frugal Boy Sees Jam and Butter as One
A humorous remark notes that many parents view jam and butter together as extravagance while boys see it as economy since one slice of bread serves both.
Bold Bandit Loots Rock Island Depot and Dunlap Home
A brigand robbed the Rock Island depot and the United States Express office at Dunlap, taking about $2.50 from the depot and around $50 in cash plus two gold watches from the Dunlap residence. Sheriff Minor led a large posse of over a hundred armed farmers, aided by bloodhounds, but the thief fled toward Peoria after leaving Dunlap. The suspect, tall and 27, with a sandy mustache, was last seen boarding a street car in Peoria. A savage showdown occurred at Dunlap as the bandit forced Dunlap at gunpoint and marched him toward the tracks before escaping. The Keokuk Dam report notes channel work and river- lock modifications, while a moral about returning home from study warns youths against arrogance.
