    3. "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.) ======================================================
