Ainsworth Cat Rabies Test and Boys State Elections
A report from University Hospitals in Iowa City confirms the Ainsworth cat involved in multiple bites last week was not rabid after its head was sent for tests.

City police report theft at the Diamond Inn over the weekend with $95 cash and about ten cases of beer taken through a rear window.
