Watens Offers 211 Population amid Des Moines Fire and Loss
A jumble of local notes reports a Wok Crewe sale totaling 91 960 with a 4630 flag, a Des Moines plant fire destroying bricks, a $75 000 loss estimate, and several deaths and accidents including a boy shot hand amputation in Boone and a Davenport hotel gun incident. The items reference Mitchell mayor Albert Carson, a Carnegie library dedication, and community efforts in Elwood.
