    1. [MOJACKSO] Dr. BALDWIN - Kansas City, KS - November 1880

    3. "The Kansas Daily City Times" (Missouri) Wednesday, November 17, 1880 A FAITHFUL HORSE. On Monday night Dr. BALDWIN went over to Kansas City {Missouri} with his two little girls to pay a visit to Dr. KIMBERLIN. He tied his horse to a post outside of the doctor's office. Shortly afterwards he came out to see if all was right, and was surprised to find neither horse nor buggy there, all that remained being a small portion of the hitching strap. He at once gave information at the police headquarters, and search was made without success. He took his family home, and commenced the search himself, and when passing through West Kansas found the rig standing, safe and sound, at his old residence on Liberty near Fourteenth street. The animal evidently had broken the hitching strap and piloted the buggy safely from Ninth and Main streets to West Kansas. It is needless to say how delighted Dr. BALDWIN was to recover his property unharmed. He wishes thanks returned to Capt. MALLOY and his men for the trouble they took in looking up the matter. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10
