City Summary: Grip must go. The city council meets to-night. But three arrests were slated yesterday. The council are getting ready for their jaunt to Denver. Andrew LEEPER was not fined for intoxication yesterday. There were twenty-one cases in the police court yesterday. John ESS was fined $15.50 yesterday for disturbing the peace. Teos. MEEKS was fined yesterday for carrying concealed weapons. Wm. JOHNSON was fined $6 yesterday for leaving his horse unhitched on the street. Dr. FEE is daily becoming more earnest and determined in his crusade against filth. It seems that the colored population will possibly get recognition in the fire department. Jacob ROSE, who whipped a man 100 feet up in the air, was given a mild $6 fine yesterday. Travel is increasing largely, judging from the immense crowds that daily throng the Union depot. The historical Mormon ANN was before his honor yesterday morning for disturbing the peace, but was discharged. Wm. CATON was up before the recorder yesterday for disturbing the peace, and being found not guilty was discharged. The A. O. H., No. 2, of West Kansas City, will give a picnic at Merriam park on the 27th inst. Two trains will run hourly. Judge James RAYBURN, father of J. M. RAYBURN and Mrs. J. B. STROUGH of this city, died at Bloomington, Ill., on the 17th inst. James LARIE's little 10-year-old boy was run over yesterday on Liberty street, West Kansas City, by a farmer's wagon, and had his right thigh broken. The largest of yesterday's warranty deeds was a transfer from George D. SHERWIN and wife to S. M. FORD for $2,500, of two lots at Fifteenth street and Baltimore avenue. Otto BAES was found guilty of petit larceny yesterday by Justice RANSON, and as he did not have the money to pay a fine of $37.50 he now languishes in the Second street jail. The following transgressors went to the Bridewell yesterday: John CAPHENS, Pat GLENN, M. SULLIVAN, T. MEEKS, Dennis LONG, Peter JENSEN, Chas. HURNKLE and Bartley HARRINGTON. James HUCKLE was sitting on a load of ties driving on Wyoming street, West Kansas City, yesterday morning, when the binding pole broke and threw HUCKLE from his seat. A large number of ties fell on him, breaking three ribs. An inventory of the stock accounts and other property of the bankrupt grocer, Geo. BARRETT, was filed in the circuit clerk's office yesterday by J. W. STRAYER, the assignee. An appraisement is now being made and will also be filed. A woman from the home for the friendless in Denver, arrived yesterday, and immediately applied to Depot Master ROGERS for transportation to New York. She is sans money, sans friends, and will probably call on the mayor for assistance. Joseph BROOKS and Miss Alice CROWDER were yesterday licensed to marry. The license of Mr. John S. MUIR, a prominent citizen of Washington township, to Mrs. A. B. MORRIS, a well-known lady of the same township, was returned yesterday. Leslie DAY was arraigned before Justice JONES yesterday on a charge of stealing $12.50 worth of books from Ben DEERING, the prolific newspaper starter. DAY was held for trial this morning at 10 o'clock and committed in default of $500 bail. The following plain drunks were fined yesterday: John HAYES, John CAPHENS, Charles WILSON, Pat GLENN, Mike SULLIVAN, Thos. WREN, Christopher LYONS, Dennis LONG, Peter JENSEN, C. J. LONDSTROM, Chas. HUNKLE, Jack LAYDAY and S. H. WILLIAMS. Officer FAIRFIELD had a desperate struggle with a plain drunk in West Kansas yesterday. The victim of "booze" was averse to being taken to the police station and made a stubborn resistance. He was brought up on a dray, and will answer to drunkenness and resisting an officer. Thursday morning's Union Pacific train left Denver five minutes late, being detained by awaiting trains. When at Russell, a distance of 376 miles from Denver, the train arrived on time, having made the run at the rate of about forty-six miles an hour from the time of pulling out from the Denver depot. The boys who were arrested for running away with the rigs of Drury UNDERWOOD and Thomas HUGHES were discharged in Justice BACON's court yesterday, the prosecuting attorney dismissing the case, as it seemed evident that the affair was only a drunken frolic and that there were no intention to steal the horses. One of the boys, however, James DUKE, was at once rearrested on a charge of displaying a deadly weapon on the occasion of the frolic. He pleaded guilty and was fined $15 and costs, in default of which he again went to jail. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these people but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) ======================================================

"The Kansas City Post" (Missouri) Saturday, January 4, 1908 FOR HIS OWN COFFIN. Emery Mason Will Be Buried In Casket Made From Tree He Planted. Emery MASON, the aged veteran of the Mexican war, who died yesterday morning at his home west of Independence, will be buried in a casket made from lumber taken from a walnut tree, which he himself planted, watched it mature to a giant tree, and finally cut down and turned into lumber. The funeral services were held this afternoon at the MASON home and an old friend of the deceased, Lieutenant Hopkins HARDIN, conducted the ceremonies in compliance with a request made by his deceased comrade. Both men have seen the times that try men's souls, MASON having suffered untold privation during the Mexican war, and HARDIN being a survivor of the famous Pickett's brigade that made the memorable charge on the battlefield of Gettysburg. Emery MASON is believed to have been the oldest settler in Jackson county. Last summer he celebrated his ninety-first birthday anniversary. His wife, one daughter and two sons survive him. He was married 56 years ago, and has lived 56 years at the old home place in Jackson county. Born in the hill country of Tennessee, he came to this section of the country when but a boy. He witnessed the first legal hanging in the county in 1837. James PEACOCK, of Independence, was one of his comrades during the Mexican war, and the only surviving one. While with DONIPHAN on this expedition, Mr. MASON and twenty-three other soldiers were cut off from the main body of troops and he was the only one to get back to the command, his companions meeting death in various ways, and Mr. MASON's account of his own experience shows that his escape was almost miraculous. For nine days he was without food and for four days without water. Finally he killed his horse and ate some of the flesh; then --- and when he would tell the story he would give evidence of great feeling and awe --- a little bird directed him to a water hole by fluttering about on the ground until the weakened soldier investigated the cause and found a little pool of water. By scooping out the sand he was enabled to quench his thirst. A day later he was successful in his search for the main command. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) ======================================================

ALLEN, EIKE, GREEN, PILLA, SHUMATE "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Saturday, November 21, 1903 CATS IN THE EGG CASES. Several grocers of Argentine were surprised yesterday morning when they received shipments of eggs to find half of each case filled with eggs, and the other half occupied by live cats. Among the grocers who received mixed consignments of eggs and cats yesterday were C. F. GREEN, Karl ALLEN, L. G. EIKE, and SHUMATE & SHUMATE. The eggs were sent out by Charles PILLA, a produce shipper and buyer of Eudora, Kas. He owns a grove near Eudora, where the merchants of Argentine hold a picnic each year and is well acquainted with most of them. The grocers who found cats in their egg cases say that PILLA is probably trying to play a joke on his Argentine friends and at the same time rid Eudora of a plague of cats. There were no more than three cats in each case and all of them had the appearance of being well fed and contented. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these people but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) ======================================================

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, April 29, 1913 A POLICEMAN'S BUSY GOOD-BY The police force of the Kansas side admits that it lost a good man last night through the resignation of Theodore OLSON, a patrolman. And OLSON made the loss doubly plain by his last night's work with his star. About 10 o'clock someone told him a man was in the Morris elevated station, his pockets turned inside out. He probably had been robbed. So OLSON, who, by the way, is only 6 feet 8 inches tall and well built, found the conditions as described. There lay a man, intoxicated, with both pockets emptied. Now, it happened that there wasn't a telephone handy. So the big patrolman quietly placed his charge on his shoulders and carried him like a sack to police headquarters, more than a half-mile distant. "Book him," OLSON said as he deposited his bundle. "You ought to weigh it," someone suggested. The bundle finally sobered enough to admit that he was George DAVIS. That was all. He was booked for safe keeping. And OLSON finished his last night on the force. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) ======================================================

"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Wednesday, December 9, 1903 FIVE HORSES BURN TO DEATH. Five horses burned to death shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning in a barn at the rear of 129 Northrup avenue, Kansas City, Kas. They belonged to J. STOELZINGER, a huckster, and were valued at $100 each. The barn was completely destroyed, together with a large amount of feed stored in the upper story. The complete loss was something like $1,500. The origin of the fire is not known. However, it is believed that Mr. STOELZ- INGER, who was at the barn late on the preceding evening, dropped a burning match, and that the rubbish caught fire and burned slowly until it reached the walls of the barn. The fire was discovered by Mr. STOELZINGER, who was awakened by the noise of the falling timbers. He turned in an alarm, to which all the fire companies responded. The firemen, however, arrived too late to save the animals, and turned their attention to keeping the fire from spreading to other buildings. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) ======================================================

"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Saturday, December 12, 1903 HINTS ON GIVING. (John A. Simpson, in December Lippincott's.) We should not give people things they don't want. We should avoid giving anybody the mumps or the chickenpox if we can help it. Do not give a friend the cold shoulder without baked beans and hot coffee to go with it. A man should not give a lady a kiss unless he thinks she would enjoy it, except in the case of his wife and his mother-in-law. Do not give red suspenders to a total stranger; he might prefer those of a pale-blue shade instead. Do not present a bucking broncho to a tall, pale man of sedentary habits, as he would not likely live long to enjoy it. When you give castor oil to a howling infant give it for its intrinsic worth, and not merely as an evidence of your regard.

The police board renewed its declaration to keep saloons from the shopping district, when it refused to grant John A. JOHNSON a license yesterday afternoon. JOHNSON had made application for a cafe in the basement of a new building to be erected at 1008-10 Walnut street. Several business men objected because it would ruin the block, they said. Two licenses were granted to saloons in which killings have occurred within the past year and four such applications were set down for hearing at a special meeting tomorrow afternoon. The two who received licenses yesterday were: Frank BASILE, 601 East Fifth street, and Peter McDONALD, 722 East Twelfth street. Bert NERLING was refused a license at 1525 Main street. NERLING shot and killed James McCORMICK, September 18, last year. The board said the saloon has an unenviable reputation. Renewals were granted to these saloons, which were among the eighty- seven held up by the board because of illegal connections: B. C. BOYLES, 323 West Sixth street J. F.

"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Saturday, November 21, 1903 DRANK ACID FOR WATER. Thomas J. ST. JOHN, a carpenter and contractor, died at his home, 3900 East Thirteenth street, yesterday morning, of liver trouble brought on by him mistakenly drinking acid for water. The accident occurred September 20, while Mr. ST.JOHN, who is a carpenter, was working in a building at Sixth and Spruce streets. Desiring a drink, he partook freely of a jug beside him, which he had thought contained water but which was filled with an acid used to clean the bricks. At the time Mr. ST. JOHN became so sick that he had to be removed to his home in a carriage, and although death was stayed for months, the effects of the acid could not be overcome, and yesterday death resulted. Mr. ST. JOHN was 52 years old and leaves two sons and a daughter. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) ======================================================

CARNES, CHADWELL "The Kansas City Post" (Missouri) Thursday, November 19, 1903 SHE WAS OLD AND ALONE. An old woman, bent and gray with the weight of more than eighty years, sat in the downstairs waiting room at the Union depot last night and sobbed as if her heart would break. She was Mrs. Mary CHADWELL on her way from Iowa to Stillwater, O.T. She had been at the depot since early morning, and her train was not due to leave until 10 o'clock last night. Shortly after she had eaten the meager lunch she carried in a basket, she stepped to the fountain for a drink and in doing so dropped the glove that contained her ticket, the only thing she possessed. Many strangers crowded around her, but the tears would not stay back, and when Depot Master Mont CARNES found and returned her lost ticket, she cried harder than before. She was afraid she would be obliged to stay in the depot over night and through her tears, the only information she could give was that she came from Florence, Ia., and that her son was a merchant there. She was still weeping when a porter assisted her to her train for Stillwater. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) ======================================================
