"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Friday, March 30, 1900 BITTEN BY A SAVAGE DOG. Will CHAMBERS, 40 years old, sat down exhausted at Twelfth and Liberty streets yesterday afternoon, after having searched unsuccessfully for work in Argentine. A ferocious dog jumped on him, as he pondered on his ill luck, and lacerated his face badly. CHAMBERS tried to protect his face with his hands and the dog tore the skin from them also. Some workmen, who had seen the dog attack CHAMBERS, drove him off. The workmen carried CHAMBERS, who lay unconscious on the walk to a neighboring house and Police Surgeon LONGAN was called. He sewed up CHAMBERS' wounds and he was sent to his home at First street and Agnes avenue. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Wednesday, April 4, 1900 HIS CLOTHES WERE AFIRE. George GOLDY, a cook in a restaurant at East Seventh street, was cleaning his clothes with gasoline yesterday morning when some one in the room struck a match. The gasoline exploded and the flames were communicated to GOLDY's clothing. He dashed out of the room into an alley to the side of the restaurant and ran across Seventh street. He got as far as the alley leading north from the street, when he fell, and a number of people rushed to his assistance. One man grabbed a laprobe from a buggy and wrapped it around GOLDY, putting out the fire and saving his life for the time being. His clothing had been burned nearly off of him and he was insensible when the police ambulance and Dr. MANAHAN arrived. He had breathed some of the fire into his lungs and Dr. MANAHAN thinks it doubtful if he can recover. He was removed to the city hospital. GOLDY is about 23 years old and unmarried. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Wednesday, October 16, 1889 A VERY GIDDY YOUNG THING. What the Runaway Bride of a Week Proves to Be. Mrs. James SHIELDS, the bride of a week who gave her husband the slip at the union deport Monday night while he was across the street in search of a room, has been found and Mr. SHIELDS' surmise that she went off with a handsome drummer has been verified. After constant inquiry all day, Mr. SHIELDS ascertained late in the afternoon that his fickle bride and the drummer had gone to the Hotel Royal, Fourteenth and Grand avenue, where they had registered as man and wife. Armed with a search warrant and accompanied by two officers, he went to the hotel last night. The husband and wife met face to face and the latter plainly told him that she did not intend to live with him in the future. There is a conflict in the statements as to what followed. Mrs. SHIELDS says that her husband was in tears imploring her to return, while his statement is that his manly indignation arose at once and he bade her good by forever. The young wife at all events refuses to go away, but insists that she will return to her home at Colfax, Ia., although she is without a dollar. Mr. SHIELDS does not know what he will do, but he will probably remain in town. A "Times" reporter saw Mrs. SHIELDS at the Hotel Royal last night and she talked without reserve about her abandonment of her husband. She is a giddy, giggling young thing and if she is 18 years old, she does not look it. Her hair is quite brief and she looks the child more than a bride. "Yes, I left him," said she, "and I am not sorry for it. I intended to give him the slip at the first chance and I did it. I have never been in Kansas City before, but the gentleman I was with seemed to know the way to this place pretty well. We came right here from the depot, and I cannot see how in the world Jim ever found me. I thought I was rid of him for good, but I won't have anything more to do with him anyhow. Why I married him is more than I can tell. I ran away from home and we went to Unionville, Mo., where we were married. Then we went to the fair at Greencastle, Mo. Then we came here to live if he could find work." The man with whom Mrs. SHIELDS left the depot is a portly, good looking drummer for a wholesale whisky house at Chicago. He left the Hotel Royal yesterday and went to the Midland. He and another drummer boarded the train at St. Joseph and all the way down he ogled the young bride from his seat opposite her. Mr. SHIELDS has led a wandering life for years and his purpose in becoming married was to make a home. Thus early he finds his dream upset by his giddy young wife, but it is quite evident that they will not be reunited, for she says she is glad to be rid of him and he wants nothing more to do with her. SHIELDS was told of his wife's whereabouts by the companion of the man his wife accompanied to the hotel. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
