Side Swipes and County Festival Notes
A Joplin man Don Maurice Cook, aged 47, faced a police court charge for illegal registration after officers linked his car to a collision with a station wagon driven by Byron Faden. The in-date Missouri tags prompted a $20 fine as Cook planned to buy Kansas plates to continue his trip. Also on the slate, a Waverly musician will conduct bands from multiple towns at a county music festival, with events in the high school gym. The report includes travel anecdotes, local quotes, and a listing of jurors and residents along with trial calendars for Ottawa.
