Controversial Saloon Petition in Stewartville Sparks Local Debate
A large petition backing a Stewartville saloon is challenged as foul play by Rock Island Brewing Co allies. Nineteen signers include sixteen non residents tied to the firm, with accusations of straw-deed schemes and fake ownership. Only three of the block's twelve owners support the petition. Critics demand city action and an immediate prohibition district ordinance. Ground breaks begin at the foundation on 2502 Fifteenth Street.

Stewartville Quo Warranto Seeks License Revocation
A committee of five representing hundreds of Stewartville residents filed quo warranto against John Martens in circuit court to revoke his license. He must appear this week to show cause why the license should not be revoked and face a possible fine up to 25 dollars.
