    1. [MOJACKSO] Mrs. P. POTTER - Kansas City, KS - October 1880
    2. John O'Brien
    3. "The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, October 5, 1880 At the instance of Mrs. P. POTTER, a young lad names JONES, was arrested yesterday on the charge of using insulting language towards her, while she was riding in her phaeton. The evidence went to show that Mrs. POTTER was driving out Sunday evening, when this boy JONES with some other boys, were on Third street and he cried out to her horse, "Whoa, Dolly," several times, and when ordered to desist, used abusive language. The lad offered no defense but plead guilty. Judge STOCKTON imposed a fine of $1 and costs. Boys may think it fun to insult ladies who are driving or walking on the streets, but Wyandotte is not becoming a city of too large dimensions to admit of such practice, and if every lady would act like Mrs. POTTER, boys would soon learn to behave themselves. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10
