Pierce Reed Case Reopens Doubts On McMillan Murder
Ex sheriff J Wilhite offers the clearest defense of Pierce and Reed, claiming they were frightened into confessing while the actual killer may have been the more dangerous man. He notes a railroad disturbance and a truck yard scuffle as part of the surrounding chaos that night, and he questions county attorney Ferguson’s zeal to convict. The article includes a district court journal entry detailing the confessed murder and the judge’s handling of the case amid fears of coercion.

Troup Explains Ice Price Scale For Coming Week
Abram Troup, manager of Mutual Ten company, says the plate price scale for the coming week is the basis for prices adopted to March 1902. He says 1902 prices must be cut to meet a gray area caused by the Peoples Tea company and that Mutual loses money selling at those levels. He alleges a Missouri Valley Ice Dealers' association controls sales and that members refuse to sell to dealers outside the group. The arrangement with Wolff aims to secure ample stock, with prices set as low as possible amid rising coal costs and higher wages.
