Eleven Arrested in Davenport Gaming Raid at Second Street Coffee House
A Davenport raid late Sunday night rounded up eleven foreigners at 207 East Second Street for gaming. Officers seized money and cards as evidence as the place was crowded with patrons. No inquest will be held into John Bauer’s self-inflicted death, seen as a deliberate act. A settlement was authorized in the $3,500 damage suit of Elizabeth Baker for the estate of George Baker, tied to prior fatal automobile injuries. Three local homes were burglarized, yielding about $120 in cash and valuables. The body of Mrs Emma Van Veckten arrived in Davenport by special train with 30 lifelong friends to Cedar Rapids.
