Davenport arrest hits known financier Miss Harrah in Iowa
Davenport police arrest Miles Mary Harrah secretary treasurer of the International Land Company on a 2500 fraud charge from Flora Evans. Described as the west’s “queen of financiers,” Harrah promoted railroads and land ventures across multiple states with backers losing millions including Davenport investor James Quinn who died after a 60000 loss. Harrah and John U May of Cleveland defend that the Evans loan was secured by the company, not Harrah personally, and she says she was in Davenport to settle with Evans.
