Stanley Edward Yardem was fined 300 dollars and costs for OMVI on August 25 in Jones County District Court. In lieu of payment, he was confined to the county jail at five dollars daily until fines and costs are paid, with credit for time served. He may apply for a driver’s license after sixty days. One new case was filed last week and actions were taken in two others. Marvin Brown, a prisoner at Anamosa Men’s Reformatory, filed a writ of habeas corpus on August 24 seeking release on September 13. He is serving a one year jailbreak sentence, with claims the court order requires the jailbreak to be served after earlier sentences. Brown argues prior sentences are void.

A hearing is set Sept 1 in Haas vs Haas, defendant to show cause for contempt, with divorce and support payments noted. Fall sale promoted by Spahn and Rose Lumber Co.
