Deserted baby and Bettendorf interurban plans
A Davenport baby was abandoned at 827 Helle avenue by a father who offered $5 weekly for care while away from the city. Authorities fear the infant may be deserted for good. Also reported are Bettendorf’s move to reincorporate in a $7.5 million plan to control car shops, gas and water plants, hotels, and residences, plus a group of Davenport engineers sent to work three years in Argentina. Other items note thefts at a cigar factory, a prisoner kleptomania case, a Christmas violet pick, parcels post auto delivery, a proposed municipal lodging house, and two obituaries for Marguerie Hattie Mudget and James Keegan.
