"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Friday, August 4, 1911 PIPE THIEVES OUT IN A WAGON A vacant house at 717 Wabash Avenue, owned by H. C. PARMER, 719 Wabash Avenue, was broken into and the bathroom stripped of pipe worth about $40 yesterday. Two men were seen in a wagon in front of the house, but persons who saw them believed the robbers were workmen who had business at the house. Thirty minutes later a wagon of the same description, but carrying four men, stopped in the rear of the Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company branch office at Peery and Prospect avenues. Two pieces of lead pipe cable, 137 feet in length, were picked up by one of the men, put in the wagon, and the four drove away. ================================================= (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) =================================================
