"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Wednesday, March 19, 1913 A ROBBER ATTACKED A WOMAN. Mrs. John M. SMURR, 1140 South Main Street, Independence, was attacked by a burglar in her home at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Feeling a cold wind blowing through her bedroom, she arose and found an outside door open. As she was returning to bed, after closing it, she was struck in the face by a burglar, who, apparently, had been ransacking the house. He made his escape. Mrs. SMURR's nose was broken by the blow. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) ======================================================
