ALEXANDER, ANDERSON, AXTEL, BANTON, BONE, BRYANT, CARTER, DYSART, GALE, HALL, HUNTER, JACKSON, LANGLEY, MYERS, PHELPS, RUSSELL, SCOTT, SLOVER, WHEELER, WHITE, WYATT "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, April 14, 1888 INDEPENDENCE. Matters and Events of Interest in the Historic City. Mrs. F. C. WYATT, who has been confined to her house all winter, is reported as now being very much worse. Daniel ANDERSON and Miss Annie SCOTT of Lamont, Ia., are visiting Mr. M. W. CARTER. Conway WHEELER, aged 4 years, son of Rev. J. E. WHEELER, formerly a Presbyterian minister of this place, died lately at Sacramento, Cal. The young people of the Christian church held their regular society entertainment at the residence of Mr. J. P. ALEXANDER last evening. Miss Maggie PHELPS went to Lenexa, Kas., last evening on a visit to Miss Julia HALL, formerly a teacher in the public schools of this city. Rev. H. L. BRYANT of Des Moines, Ia., is visiting friends in this city. There is a rumor that a stock company of Independence and Kansas City gentlemen will erect a large hotel in Estill place for the purpose of affording accommodations to families who wish to come to Independence to spend the summer. Parties who have in charge the petitions for local option say they have in all 400 signatures, and expect to have 800 by their next meeting, which will be on Wednesday of next week. The pedestrians on the streets around the square were very much startled last Thursday night by hearing four pistol shots fired in rapid succession, in the neighborhood of L. L. W. JACKON's saloon. The police arrested J. W. LANGLEY as the aggressor and he had his trial before Mayor Caldwell yesterday morning. The facts developed at the trial were as follows: LANGLEY who is a very quarrelsome fellow when drinking, went into JACKSON's saloon for the purpose of having a fight with some one. His pockets were filled with rocks, and he had not been in there long until he commenced to fuss Fred AXTEL. The proprietor interfered and put LANGLEY out of the saloon. He returned a few moments afterward and threw eight or nine large rocks at JACKSON, who was behind the bar, breaking a large mirror and a great many bar fixtures. After he had thrown these rocks some one fired four shots at LANGLEY without hitting him. The mayor fined him $20 and costs, amounting in all to $30.25, which he paid. Mrs. Bettie BANTON, an aged colored woman, died Thursday night. She was born in 1790, and was therefore 98 years of age. She distinctly remembers when Thomas Jefferson was president of the United States. The remains of Dr. HUNTER, who died Thursday morning, were embalmed and shipped to Lucknow, Ont., yesterday morning. The committee of lawyers appointed by Judge SLOVER the first of the month to examine six applicants for admission to the bar will make the report to-day. A. J. WHITE, agent for the Kansas City fat stock show, is in the city working up business for this fall's exhibition. The general opinion among the Independence people is that the result of the MYERS trial in Kansas City is in exact accordance with justice. Mr. George GALE and wife and Mrs. Pickett JACKSON returned from California yesterday where they have spent the winter. Company F drilled at Woodland college in chapel hall last evening in the presence of the young lady boarders there. Mrs. R. A. BONE of Springfield, Mo., is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. W. RUSSELL. ================================================= (I have no connection with any of these people but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) =================================================
