Federal judge strikes down CDC eviction moratorium in West Tennessee
Evictions set to resume in Memphis By Brandon Richard | March 16, 2021 at 7:36 PM CDT - Updated March 16 at 7:38 PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Evictions can resume in Memphis, Shelby County and West Tennessee after a federal judge ruled the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) went beyond its authority in issuing an eviction moratorium.
Some call it a victory for the rights of property owners and managers.
Others call it heartbreaking and cruel to people struggling financially during a global pandemic.
The ruling comes on the heels of a report from the United Way of the National Capital Area, which showed that among U.S. cities Memphis had the third-highest number of evictions filed during the pandemic, more than 8,700.
This lucky shot served to momentarily curb the enthusiasm of the mob and it hesitated, allowing the gunman to disappear in the darkness around the Catholic church. But the mob quickly rallied and the hunt was on.
“The audacity of the attempt at the murder and the utter absence of any motive dazed the people who appeared at the city street corners to hear a statement of facts. It was the town’s ghost story. For four hours, people gathered as a growing mob of searchers scoured every corner of North Hill,” the paper recorded.
Then, shortly after 1 a.m. there came the sound of shots. Henry Stroh had opened the door of a shed and flushed a figure that ran off, pursued by Walter Fritsche and others. Near George Lane’s house, a lucky shot grazed the gunman and persuaded him to stop. He was quickly gathered up and marched off to the jail.
Historically Speaking: The life of William King Atkinson in Dover
Tony McManus
Even his name sounds impressive: William King Atkinson. Except that this wasn t his original name. He was born in 1765 in Portsmouth as plain old William King, son of William King, but over the years he made a name for himself in more ways than one.
He apparently had some degree of intelligence and initiative. Graduating from Harvard in 1783 he opened a law practice in Dover in 1786. Almost immediately he made his mark, becoming Register of Probate a year later, a position he held until 1819, the year before his death. He served as Justice of the NH Supreme Court from 1803-05, and was state attorney general from 1807-12. Somewhere in those years he married Abigail Pickering, of the Newington Pickerings, a prominent family on the other side of the bay.
Around Burlington: Jeremiah Smith couldn t catch a break

It seems Burlington’s Jeremiah Smith should have learned his lesson the first time around. He should have learned that financial dealings with the government were a slippery slope leading to financial ruin.
But he didn’t, and as a result, Burlington became the first Territorial capital of Wisconsin.
In the 1830s, thanks to creative map making and political chicanery, Iowa was lumped into the Wisconsin territory, and by 1836 nearly half of the population of that sprawling expanse of lakes, woods and prairie lived in Burlington and Dubuque
