Davenport Street Blockading Probed as Wreck of Rights
Reports detail arrests of Rock Island railroad crew after street blockades at Fifth and Warren. City vows to prosecute violations of curb obstructions, with Ewert and Richter Express served warrants for wagon blockades on East Fourth Street. Mayor Mueller had ordered removal of wagons at night and when unused to enforce the ordinance. A test case seeks clarity on the city rule governing street obstructions. Also noted are a $2,999 verdict in a wrongful death suit against Corn Producta Refining and the death of Otto Christiansen, a homeless driver, at Mercy hospital. An intoxicated farmer delayed a Maquoketa line, identified as H Freezee, until arrest. Obituary items report the death of two-year-old Alice McLargen from diphtheria and twenty-five-year-old Henry Kane, Davenport native.
