Death by own action murky in Monticello case
The body of Charles Wallroff, long resident of Jackson and Jones counties, was found in the city scales building in Monticello last Saturday morning. Coroner Edward Beam ruled death by own action due to overdose of strychnine, though some doubt exists due to a powder used for asthma and a previously filled bottle found with Wallroff. He was over 77, born February 14, 1849 in Lyons France, and had a history of ill health and threats of self harm. Funeral services were held the following Sunday at the Presbyterian church.

Long list of names and car makes from Monticello area
A fragmented catalog of owners and addresses from Wyoming to Monticello shows numerous individuals and places linked by Ford and other car makes. The garbled OCR lists owners such as H. J. Johnson, A. Leesekamp, Peter Mundinger, J. Gray, J. Koch, John Hans Beger, Emerson Cave, Arthur W Wronbie, and many more, with locations including Cascade, Oxford Junction, Center Junction, Anamosa, Monticello, and Montice. It appears to be an automotive owner registry or dealership/garage ledger with repeated Ford entries and scattered model mentions. The exact details are unclear due to the corrupted text.
