Bonaparte Dam Case Decided in Favor of Defendant
The Bonaparte dam case, backed by the Iowa State Sportsmen, ends with judge Richelberger's decision in Ottumwa. The Meek brothers of Bonaparte are ordered to halt a dam on the Des Moines River that blocks the spring salmon run and hurts upper waters, with appeals planned to the state supreme court. A separate note from Charles City reports a push to locate an overall factory requiring fifty sewing girls at 3.50 to 5 dollars weekly, amid tentative enrollment and local enthusiasm.

Pardon Petition Heads To Legislature For Four Convicts
Governor Shaw plans to ask the legislature to pardon four inmates among a dozen to fifteen petitions. The list includes the Rainsbarger brothers from Hardin county and Wesley Elkins, with four cases chosen for clemency: Thomas Kelley, John Bellew, Cornelius Malthen, and Jasper Mason. Local tabloid chatter about glanders in horses arose but was debunked by a veterinary surgeon after one head injury. Belmer Holmes survives a turkey shoot mishap when a shot hits his cap, and a stock shipment followed a traveling agent’s push. A trainload of cattle, sheep, hogs, and other stock departed Livermore last Wednesday.
