"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, November 23, 1897 TURNER HAS A THRILLING EXPERIENCE WITH WILLIAM GOAT. R. J. TURNER, the coal and ice man, has been troubled by small boys playing in his barn and he has fixed on a new plan for keeping them out. He bought a lively billy-goat yesterday morning and turned him loose in his barn. About noon he decided that he would go down and see how many youngsters "billy" had eaten up. He stepped inside and, calling familiarly to the goat, closed the door. Billy debated for a moment whether he should acknowledge the acquaintance, and then decided that he had never met Mr. TURNER and did not desire that pleasure. He further decided to punish Mr. TURNER's impertinence in addressing him. Mr. TURNER tried to explain, but billy would not listen. What happened next no one but the goat knows, for Mr. TURNER says that all he recollects is that billy came at him and the rest is a blank. He is determined, however, that he will pursue the acquaintance, and is very much pleased with his purchase. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, November 27, 1897 SEEKING A HOME FOR MAE CARR. Mae CARR, 5-year-old daughter of William CARR, condemned to be hanged at Liberty December 17 for the murder of his 3-year- old daughter Belle, is in the city, in charge of Rev. E. A. POWELL, a representative of the Children's Home society of Missouri. CARR consented to the adoption of the child by the society a few days ago, and the Rev. Mr. POWELL is anxious to secure for her a home in a good family. Mae is a pretty and intelligent child, and exhibits none of the traits of her inhuman father. She is said to resemble very much her mother, who died two years ago, and who was, according to her acquaintances, a woman of unusually lovable traits of character. Rev. E. A. POWELL will be in Kansas City for several days. He may be seen at the office of D. ELLISON, Beals building, Ninth and Wyandotte streets, president of the local branch of the Children's Home society. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, November 27, 1897 POLICE TRY TO BE HELD UP. Fifty policemen in citizens' clothing patrolled the streets last night, waiting to be held up, but either it was too cold for footpads, or some other condition was wrong, for no robbery was attempted. Thomas SHIELDS and James O'BRIEN, two North End toughs of not too savory reputations, were arrested as vagrants. They will be given their choice of going to work or the work-house, or leaving town. ====================================================== (I have no connection with these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, September 29, 1888 HIS HEAD CUT OFF. Will WILLIAMS, a colored man 19 years of age, was beheaded at Armour's packing house at 7 o'clock last night. WILLIAMS was engaged in oiling the shaftings in the fertilizing department when his clothing caught in the belting and he was carried around the shafting.

The body was removed to Raymond's undertaking establishment where Coroner DOWNS will hold an inquest to-day. The young man resided with his mother on James street. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Sunday, March 26, 1911 CRACK SHOT KILLS A DOG. Lieut. D. C. STONE, while returning to the Walnut street station at 6 o'clock last evening noticed a dog acting queerly on Twenty- sixth street between Montgall and Prospect avenues. The sidewalks were lined with men, women and children, and although the animal had not attacked any one it had attempted to bite several other dogs. The lieutenant was just getting ready to put an end to the animal, when an elderly man suggested that he be allowed to take the gun. He suggested that STONE did not seem to be very well acquainted with the handling of a fire arm, while he himself had been a pretty good shot in his day. Lieutenant STONE then informed the man that he enjoyed the distinction of being the crack pistol shot in the department and without taking aim, sent a bullet crashing into the brain of the dog. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

Shirley, I researched the three Kansas City newspapers up through October 2, 1888 and found what I've transcribed below. Many of the newspaper pages were very light and difficult to read. I expected to find something in the Sunday, September 30, paper but did not spot anything. The Sunday paper is quite large, with many pages difficult to read. A more slow and thorough search may produce more information. =================================================== "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Friday, September 28, 1888 (page 5) WEST KANSAS. A man named J. H. VOGAN, aged about 40 years, has mysteriously disappeared from his home at 1613 Liberty street, and has not been heard of since Tuesday night. =================================================== "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Friday, September 28, 1888 (page 8) CITY SUMMARY. J. H. VOGAN, a planing mill laborer, who is very ill with consumption and partially insane, has disappeared from his boarding house near the Liberty street engine house. He is 35 years of age, five feet ten inches in height and weighs about 150 pounds. He has threatened on several occasions recently to take his life and it is believed that he sought the river. =================================================== "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, September 29, 1888 (page 5) A FLOATER FOUND. Chief of Police SPEERS received a dispatch from Merriam, Kan., last night, stating that the body of a man had been found in Turkey creek near that place which answered the description of J. H. VOGAN, a planing mill laborer who recently disappeared from his home on Liberty street. VOGAN's friends have been notified and two of them left last night for Merriam to view the remains for identification. ====================================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 8:50 PM Subject: [KansasCity] Re; JULIUS HARLAN VOGAN d. 9-27-1888 > Our family has been trying to find an obit for Julius Harlan VOGAN who > drowned in KC on 9-27-1888 We had a search done of the KC Star, with no > results. > Maybe you can find something about his death?
