Davenport fights liquor law defiance and editor assault
The piece describes Davenport’s rowdy clash with saloon owners resisting state liquor laws. A editor was cane-struck by a man who backed the injunction case, a mob formed around the assault trial, and Lawyer Neal drew a revolver to scatter the mob before being arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. The article laments local lawlessness and calls for state enforcement. It also critiques Chicago school spellings and education methods, urging traditional drilling in spelling and penmanship as essential. The Inter Ocean’s editorial stance condemns the president’s policies on finance and industry, contrasting with honest traders' views.
