A Gallows at a Bargain in Wartime Lemurs
In Waverly on March 26 a bargain offer arises for a complete scaffold stored at the Anamaoss reformatory. Built for Louis Busse’s execution, it may be unused again as the reformatory’s conversion to a reformatory removes need. Bremer county boards may pass title uncertainly to Butler county, who pledged funds but may deny ownership. The scaffold’s maker, Henry Parrott, spared no expense, but the device likely will be discarded. Also, Morgan Everts, donor of Clarion’s public library, has died in Santa Cruz after years of health decline. He earlier built wealth in Webster City and owned land between Webster City and Clarion.
