Thomas BURNS, living on St. Louis avenue, West Kansas, made complaint yesterday to the authorities that himself and family went to Simpson's grove to picnic and spend the Sunday; he took his horse from the wagon and tied it to a tree near by; after dinner, while his wife and children were playing, he fell asleep, and was awakened by his wife stating that a tramp had taken their horse and ridden off towards the iron bridge. He immediately started in pursuit, but could not find any trace of the man or horse, or had they been discovered at a late hour last night. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
