was settled in some manner, but the
public was still on the trail.
Finally a lawyer, c. w. Neal, got
out second injunction against Munro.
, Under the old Iowa law, the man who
filed such papers was entitled to half
| the amount of the fine.
Neal is said to have cleaned up in
the neighborhood of $4,000 by the
deal. Finally sentiment became so
strong that he decided TO leave Daven-
port On the day of his departure. a
brass band accompanied him to the
depot, playing a doleful funeral dirse.
From that time on Bricks decline
was rapid. The vaudeville theatres
slipped away as did the rest of his
property and today Munro is himself
an employe-his headquarters being
the Iowa Taxi Cab company.
On the former site of the famous
dance pavilion now stands a modern
warehouse and Office building, four
stories in height, occupied by the
John F. Kelly wholesale grocery firm.
The only visible reminder of the past
is an old elm tree just west of the
structure. Its branches formerly shad-
owed the all night hot tamale wagon
so freely patroni5ed by the owls who
made the line" Now it stands alone
and forlorn against the background
of brick and steel.
Many have condemned the man for
the business with which he was iden-
titled. The finger of public scorn has
Outlines been directed at him. But
after all is said and done, how many
are there who have done as much to
aid suffering humanity-and that |
without thought of reward-as has |

lion in a veritable torrent, but Munro
parted with it in almost the same
manner. He never turned down any
one seeking a loan and in most in
stances practically gave the money
away, never expecting it back.
Right now, ne mas an interesting
collection of unpaid notes and l. o.
US. many of them signed by promi-
nent Davenporters who have since been
smiled upon by the tickle goddess of
fortune. Should one-half of these
debtors make good their obligations,
Brick would not be seeking relief
in bankruptcy.
Those who have had dealings with
Munro in past years are unanimous
in stating that he was ever the soul
of honor and that his word was as
good as gold. He always made good
his obligations when he was able
"Why don't you go after some of
these well-fed guys that have signed
notes and have not made good" asked
a friend the other day as Munro was
going over the imposing pile of al
most outlawed assets.

Tables lined the walls OF the pavfI-
lion and these were always filled with
care free men and fashionably dressed
women. II was no unusual thing for
wealthy spendthrift to buy from
$500 to $500 worth OF wine during an
evening.
OF late the cabaret has become a
craze throughout the United States
and is hailed as an innovation. Eight
years ago Brick Munro's garden
boosted a cabaret entertainment
which for quality and magnitude has
not been surpassed to this day.
High salaried performers from the
"legit" took a ming at entertaining
the midnight crowds in the dance hall,
looking upon IL as a sort of diversion.
They welcomed IL as a relief from the
steady grind behind the footlights.
There was something doing every
minute. 4 big orchestra crashed out
ragtime strains for the dancers and
during the intermissions the cabaret
performers took the floor.
The patrons were many and they
spent without stint. II was the ex-
ception, rather than the rule, when
days receipts did not pass the $500
mark. Walters would clean up from
SO to S25 a night in tips. and would
have refused to quit had their salaries
been entirely cut of.
In those days of prosperity, Brick
gave to the down and cutters. the poor
and the unfortunate with lavish
hand. His heart was as big as a
steamer trunk. In the building was a
dining room and kitchen for himself.
