Suit over hog injury demands damages in federal court
In Council Bluffs on June 9 a suit seeks 20500 dollars for Walter Jakobs a 15 year old who alleges Samuel Schoening wrongfully injured him at the Schoening farm in April 1903 by tramping his left foot while hogs were being restrained.

The report also notes a possible Illinois Central wage dispute involving pay raises and Sunday overtime affecting about 1250 workers on that division with union grievance talks scheduled for next Friday.
