From the Lawrence Daily World for June 15, 1906: “James Colton, the modest-looking man who leaps some 80 feet from a balloon into a net every afternoon at the local street fair, is planning a real thriller for next season, a loop-the-loop where he rides a bicycle down an incline and does a mid-air loop before landing. He says he will perfect the act over the winter. : Reports are coming in of more violence and rioting in Russian in protest of the czar’s policies. A railway strike also appears to be shaping up. : The newly admitted state, Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, is 70,430 square miles, within 10,000 miles of the size of Kansas. It will be 350 by 220 miles in size and will start off with 1.5 million people. It is a good addition to the union. .: A.D. Weaver, of Lawrence, had landed some good contracts for providing the state board of control with material and dry goods. : Frank Snow has returned to Lawrence after a long absence working for a newspaper in Rhodesia.”
