Several Are Killed In Canadian Train Wreck
Two mail clerks and an express messenger died when a Canadian Northern passenger train collided with a freight train near Kamenk Sask late last night. A third mail clerk died today and four others were injured. Details were slow to emerge amid rumors of more deaths. In Chicago, examiners opened records of a major wholesale drug firm amid seizure of papers on charges of unlawful dispensing of habit forming drugs. The firm allegedly supplied the bulk of drugs used in the Chicago area.

Small factories in South Muscatine closing down
Almost all the smaller button factories in South Muscatine are short of men and several have closed as workers spend the summer shelling profits. Many stay near the city and return home each evening, but most prepare boats for a long river trip. The riverfront near Clam City shows boats under construction and many laid up for repairs after a recent storm. South Muscatine Lumber Co workers will soon work ten hours daily and have a half day Saturdays. Local residents Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Wilson and others left for Davenport to visit relatives. LeRay Daniels and family plan a few weeks in Terra Haute. Everything is ready for tomorrow evening’s Children’s Day program at Island M. & Church hosted by the church’s youth.
