A dramatic local tale centers on Jay Craven of Dallas, now in the spotlight as the star actor. Residents report a rapid turn of events this week involving Craven, whose actions have stirred public interest and drawn wide attention across the county.
A county resident and former Pleasantville citizen Craven fled the country after a bank loan against 40 horses led to multiple mortgages on the same collateral. Bank cashier Henry uncovered the double encumbrances and learned Craven had left with his wife and daughter, leaving liabilities estimated over 30 000 dollars. Local banks face losses and real estate man B T Bouma was seen returning from Pella with three wheels on his vehicle amid town rumors. Harvey News notes W R Howerton headed to Oskaloosa in a gasoline buggy after reportedly selling the machine.
Last Saturday Des Moines news notes the death of Hon. R B Warren at 2008 West Tenth street Des Moines aged 77. He came to Iowa in 1841 before statehood, father of Senator J L Warren and Mrs S F Prouty, long involved in Mahaska and Des Moines affairs and founder of Warren's mill. Funeral by the Masons Sunday at 4, Woodland Cemetery.
