THE case of the city of Davenport vs. Charles A. Owen, who was charged with failing to properly report a case of contagion as required under the city ordinances, came to an abrupt ending just before noon to-day. On motion of counsel for the defendant Judge Waterman instructed the jury to return a verdict acquitting the defendant of the charge. The ground for Judge Waterman's ruling was that the city had failed to make out a proper case in that it had failed to show that the defendant knew that it was a case of contagion.— The Davenport Daily Leader
