"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.)
