Will McPherson Pleads Guilty To Stolen Property Case
District Court in Sioux County reports Will McPherson of Hawarden pleaded guilty to stolen property and was sentenced to five years in Fort Madison with an appeal bond set at $1,000.

An ensuing appeal between the same parties concerns wages and carpentry work on the Miller farm, while property tax disputes involve bank assets and notes, with auditors instructed to adjust net assets by deducting $80,600 from 1923 assessment.
