Verdicts in Iowa cases and city bids questioned
The Iowa Supreme Court reversed the $7,500 verdict in Thames M. Ashcraft vs. Davenport Locomotive Works and remanded for new trial, while approving Morris Hamm’s $5,000 win against Bettendorf Axie Co. Defendants in Muscatine saloon cases were ordered to serve three months in jail and pay $600 fines. The city paving bids faced scrutiny over potential collusion, with a council report urging concrete paving to foster competition. Obituary notes Edward F. Hartwick's death, and local society and fire news accompany this neighborhood update.
