Dog Day in Court and a Reversal in Betendorf Wheel Case
In Davenport police court dog tax warrants dominated morning sessions with owners arguing their cases. Several defendants had their dogs condemned for unpaid taxes while others paid, and some cases were continued with promises to settle. The Des Moines supreme court reversed a Bettendorf Wheel Co verdict against Roy Kerker, ordering a new trial due to employer warning duties on machinery danger. Obituaries note the deaths of Mrs. Louisa Thums, Gabriel Mausnest, and infant Donald Gould, with details of their ages and family survivors.
