From the Lawrence Daily World for April 13, 1906: “The house occupied by J.S. Taylor, teacher at Riverside School, burned this morning. Mr. Taylor was asleep upstairs and barely got out of a window to safety on time. Mrs. Taylor was visiting in Kansas City. The teacher is quite fortunate. The cause of the fire is uncertain. : Bushton, Kansas, village of 133 people, reportedly was destroyed last night by a tornado which swept Stafford and Rice counties. Two women were injured but so far nobody has been reported killed. : In the first home game of the season, Kansas University yesterday defeated the Nebraska baseball team by 4-2 in an exciting seven-inning contest. The Kansas team surprised even its most ardent supporters by playing better than expected against the powerful Nebraskans. : Evidences of Easter are strong in the windows of local merchants, who are decorating more than they ever have done for the event.”
