The Centerville Echo Linn County Thursday July 19,1906 Attempted Murder at Kincaid. At about 8:15 p.m. last Sunday while Dr. JACKSON was talking with some of his acquaintances on the street, a man by the name of Joel PRICE, a carpenter, who formerly lived there but who has been away for nearly a year walked up and began shooting, the first shot only powder burned his face, the second missed but the third shot hit him in the breast, going through. In all Price snapped the revolver five times but one cartridge failed to explode. After the shootinig, during the night he walked to Garnett where he gave himself up to the sheriff. The wounded man while very badly hurt may recover although the Doctors say there is a very slim chance of his doing so. There is altogether too much of this shooting going on all over the country and we believe if our legislature would pass a law maing it the duty of the governor and complelling him to sign the death warrant for every man convicted of murder hereafter in the State of Kansas, it would do more to stop the promiscus shooting to kill than any other one law on the statute book.

The Colby Free Press Thomas County Thursday April 22, 1915 There were fifty automobiles on the streets of Colby at one time Saturday afternoon. If our farmers continue to prosper as they have the last year or so the real curiosity in another year or two will be to see a team of horses in town. Several fires over the county have been reported the last few days. This is the real danger just now. The high winds which we have now, the dry weeds, and high grass, make it very dangerous to be the least careless with fire. Ford touring cars have been sold to A.H. MILLER, Joseph KARR, Ben FOSTER and Bud YOUNG, during the past week.

The Colby Free Press Thomas County Thursday April 15, 1915 Light Service There is some demand for an all-night service from our light plant. Of course, the council is doing what appears to them to be the right thing and are giving a service that leaves the city in darkness from midnight until 5 o'clock. It is a little inconvenient, but the revenues of the sysem will not justify a great expense. Our idea was not favorable to the buying and building of the water and lighting plant for the city to secure them, but now that we have them, we are of the opinion that they should be made to answer the purpose and we are of the opinion that the present rates for light and water will have to be raised before the plant will make a fair showing.
