Mayors push to enlarge city limits in Davenport
Davenport city council eyes extending boundaries to include thickly settled outlying additions in line with Mayor Becker. Northwest Davenport truck gardener Ed Lager was seriously injured when thrown from his wagon returning from the mile train and is at Mercy hospital. The Middle West Theatrical Managers association wrapped its Davenport meeting with 50 managers from 20 cities across several states and elected a new board of directors. Roy Hodge, who eloped with a girl from the theater troupe, was referred to the grand jury with bond set at 500 dollars. Shanley and Boyd file for incorporation with 5,000 capital in a plumbing and heating firm. Joe Wynes sues Tri-City Railway for 100 dollars over a refused transfer during a rainstorm. Mrs. Charles Seals’s death in Ottumwa prompts questions of a fatal beating by her husband, who is serving a Sunday sentence for theft. Eight of ten McNall children survive him, with funeral arrangements to honor his Civil War service and wish to be buried under stars and stripes.
