In a case surrounding Josephine Collett and Wim Nagal, Collett Ang fails to secure the murder charge against the defendants. The court proceedings continue with other counts under review.
Wm Nagel and Josephine Collet freed on ruling for custody time limit following murder charges over Carl Brady on an island near Muscatine. They may face a lesser charge from the next grand jury. Atty P J Hanley represented Collett. Postmaster change: John M Lytle appointed to succeed J A Cunningham, who resigned to winter southward. Cunningham served four years. Bell and Wilson remain. Cunningham Jr. leaves office. Lytle to file bond. Diamonds offered by Hobson and Gove.
The two accused narrowly escape trial on a murder charge due to lack of mutual agreement to a continuance beyond the four months limit set by Illinois law. Public sentiment runs strongly against them.
Fragmentary miscellany includes a grand jurors list entry for J. Bauer of Franklin township and local notices mentioning Bucklen's Arnica Salve testimonials, a Methodist conference visit by Rev. Dr. W. G. Thorne, a Muscatine banquet report, travel notices from Washington Iowa, and an advertisement for loan money and Johnson's ribbon squares.
The forecast calls for generally fair weather in Iowa tonight and Friday with a slight cooling trend tonight. Temperature and exact conditions unknown due to OCR limitations.
Short, fragmentary items include names like Teresa Swift and Cora Porter, bakery promos from Johnson's, and travel notes about M Johnson to Harper. Also mentions a sale of Iowa worm powder by Marbourg & Helwick and a family notice about Leslie Boling, with light local humor about shoeing boys.
