"The Kansas City Post" (Missouri) Thursday, March 5, 1908 HUESTON OFF IN THE LEAD.. Tom HUESTON, the pool champion, made a human cue rack out of Johnny KLING, the local expert, last night in the first block of their 600-ball continuous pool match. The champion was in his best form and gave a remarkable exhibition. He kept KLING in a chair most of the time. KLING played far below his usual form and was a great disappointment to his friends. The second block will be played in the Empire pool hall tonight at 8:15 o'clock. ====================================================== "The Kansas City Post" (Missouri) Tuesday, March 3, 1908 HUESTON TO ARRIVE TODAY. Thomas HUESTON, the champion pool player of the world, will arrive this afternoon from St. Louis. Beginning tomorrow night he will meet Johnny KLING, the local pool expert, in a match for a side bet of $1,000. The match is to be held in the Empire pool and billiard hall, Twelfth and Walnut streets, where a portion of the tables have been torn down in order to permit seats being arranged about the table. The match will last from Wednesday to the end of the week. ====================================================== neirbo4

DOWING, DYSON, GIERINGER, HAMMIL, SCOTT "The Kansas City Post" (Missouri) Wednesday, February 26, 1908 THE HUNT FOR THE HOG. When Joseph GIERINGER, a farmer living near Martin City, came into the Walnut street station last night, he had a sad expression on his face. And the story he told to Lieutenant HAMMIL was to the effect that when he left his home in a wagon yesterday morning, he had therein one hog and a half a hog, or rather a small pig. Arriving at a livery stable on South Walnut street last night, he put up his horses for the night, and then looked in the wagon to see how the hog and a half were getting along, and found that only the small one was left. So he came to the police for aid. Patrolmen SCOTT, DOWNING and DYSON were at once sent out on the trail by Lieutenant HAMMIL, and within an hour they found the "whole" peacefully curled up in a mud puddle under a box car near the Emery, Bird, Thayer warehouse at Sixteenth and Walnut streets. But the hog objected to being captured alive, and started to run. As it weighed 500 pounds, however, and the heaviest officer only weighed 250, the race was soon over, and the hog was led, pushed and hauled to the barn, wherein the little half was squealing plaintively. Farmer GIERINGER rewarded the officers with cigars, and this morning he took the one and a half hogs to the stock yards, where he sold them. ====================================================== (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 Journal" (Missouri) Wednesday, December 16, 1903 THE GOAT IS MISSING. The pet Angora goat belonging to Frank HILL is missing from his home, 46 Freeman avenue, Kansas City, Kas., and he has enlisted the aid of the entire police force of that city to locate the recreant "Billy." Mr. HILL is at a loss to know whether the goat has wandered away to pick up a tin can or whether small boys have stolen the animal from the shed on the HILL premises, where he was kept. He says that the Angora is broken to drive and ride, as well as any horse, and was the chief amusement of his children. ====================================================== (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) Tuesday, April 25, 1899 VERY LIVELY DEAD BOY. Little Clemons SCHNEIDER, Who Is Not a Girl, Is Doing Well Should his parents care to preserve it, Clemons SCHNEIDER, who lives in the east bottoms with his father, Dillen SCHNEIDER, a gardener, can read an account of his own violent death, which appeared under glaring head lines in a morning paper yesterday. Clemons is only 3 years old, and, notwithstanding he is extraordinarily bright, it may be several years yet before he knows fully the importance of being cut to pieces one day, via printer's ink, and be able to sit up the next day and joke about it. Clemons is a boy and not a girl. He is deaf, and that fact alone is the only one printed yesterday morning. Clemons was playing on the Missouri Pacific tracks near his home Sunday evening with his sister and some neighbors' children. An incoming passenger train came along. The engineer blew his whistle and all the children quit the track save Clemons. His deafness prevented him hearing the warning whistle and his chums saw the big engine strike him and hurl him from the track. His scalp was cut in several places, but outside of that, he was uninjured. He will not die, so the doctor who attended him said. Mr. and Mrs. SCHNEIDER will sue the road. ============================================ "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Monday, April 24, 1899 UNDER IRON HOOFS Little Child's Life Crushed Out by the Cars. One of the most distressing incidents which has occurred in this city for months took place last evening when the Missouri Pacific passenger train from St. Louis, due at 6:15 p.m., ran down two little deaf mutes, 4 and 6 years old, the daughters of Dillen SCHNEIDER, in the East bottoms, instantly killing the older. By some trick of fate, one of the children stepped from the track, unheeding and unconscious of the approaching train, and escaped death, only to turn and see her elder sister mangled beneath the cruel wheels. It was not unusual for the children to go unattended about the tracks in the neighborhood of the brewery. Trainmen in the yards knew of their affliction and were fearful lest such an accident as occurred yesterday should take place and for that reason they frequently warned them by signs not to get on the roadbed and to keep away from the tracks while playing in the yards. The SCHNEIDER family lives about a block from the scene of the accident, in the rear of the brewery, and there are many children in the neighborhood, who have become inured to the danger of the passing trains, which have no terror for them. The two little flaxen-haired tots, the pets of the SCHNEIDER family, were playing in the warm sunshine of the waning afternoon as they had done on many another bright day. Though they were deaf mutes, they were as happy and bright as their playmates who were more favored. All unconscious of danger, the little ones played on, when suddenly the warning whistle of the approaching passenger train thundering down the track rang out shrill and menacing. But it fell on ears not blessed with the sense of sound and the little ones played on in innocent abandonment of childish pleasure. The older child's back was turned to the train, while the younger, a mere babe, faced her sister and therefore had her face toward the train. A sudden upward glance showed her the fearful danger that threatened them both and with a sudden bound she was off the track, clutching frantically at her little sister's dress, but to no avail, and with the shrill whistle sounding the little one's death knell, the great engine, like some mighty juggernaut, crushed out the life of the child before the baby's eyes. Engineer CHAPEL and Conductor O'BRIEN stopped the train long enough to see the body taken in charge by the kind-hearted neighbors. They then brought their train in, only a few minutes delayed, and the coroner was notified. The body of the child was carried to the cottage back of the brewery and dressed. The coroner arrived at 7:30 o'clock and viewed the mangled body of the little one. He will hold an inquest to-day. The parents of the child are prostrated with grief. ======================================================
