From the Lawrence Daily World for April 25, 1907: “An itinerant picked up here for raiding local refrigerators and ice chests apparently has an areawide reputation for such behavior. He is being detained awaiting new developments and data on his behavior and his previous crimes. : The religious meeting at the tabernacle ended last night with four more converts, bringing to 206 the total during the recent revival by the Christian Church. : Harry Peterson, serving a sentence at the county jail, has escaped while working in the barn. There is no trace of him.”
