Burlington Weekly Hawkeye Burlington, Des Moines co. Iowa June 30, 1860 IOWA NEWS. Wool vs. Cotton- It now appears that the leading influences in Davenport are going in favor of the establishment of a woolen factory there rather than a cotton factory. The majority of practical business men think that a woolen factory would be by far the most preferable as well as profitable. Brutal Assault- A man named James McCarty, while in a state of intoxication last Monday night, was brutally assaulted and almost killed by a notorious character in Davenport known as "one armed Charlie," keeper of a house of ill fame. The ruffian was assisted by two others named Ed. Lavender and Scott Stevens. They were arrested and committed the next day. Cathy Joynt Labath Iowa Old Press http://www.IowaOldPress.com/
