Verdict in arbitration falls on Schultz and Red Ball
A civil verdict awards Miss Heen Schultz damages totaling 1500 dollars from Enlow after a 1922 incident in Cedar Falls. Schultz, manager of Red Ball Transport, contends forceful arrest and assault when Enlow dragged her toward city offices over a bus ordinance dispute. Jury, including three women, found fault potentially shared by both parties with motions for new trial to follow. A county resolution supports Red Ball Transport and a state application to the railroad commission is planned in Des Moines.
