Retaliation at Hodkins Co. Store Ends in Blackmail
A large dry goods firm hides a theft problem with a harsh step. Helen Sayre, a 19 year old clerk, is accused of stealing laces and helps drive malevolent gossip through the store. An anonymous suit demands $10,000 to compensate for the alleged damage to her, while the real thief confesses later. The tale continues as the daughter faces further pressure from Nevins jewelry claims. The father pays the demanded sum to avoid public disgrace and the jewels are eventually returned.

Commissioners May Buy Chautauqua Park
Legislation by the Iowa General Assembly permits the sale of bonds to allow the city to acquire Chautauqua Park as part of the park system. About $20,000 in bonds are authorized. Park commissioners must act to add the tract to city holdings. The land has been held by George E. B. Lithty as trustee for two years and lies beside Cedar River park. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union has long sought to preserve the tract as a public park and applauds the state action.
