Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for May 13, 1907: Saturday night between 10 and 11 o’clock burglars entered the home of H.B. Ober at 740 Ohio and took property valued at more than $1,000. Entrance was gained through a pantry window that is quite high off the ground. Clues are scarce and no arrests have been made. : The U.S. Supreme Court today dismissed the suit of Kansas against Colorado to prevent Colorado from taking too much water from the Arkansas River. However, Kansas plans an appeal since the river water is so vital to so many parts of our state.”
