Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 3, 1908: King Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz Phillippe were assassinated in Lisbon, Portugal, over the weekend. A second son, Manuel II, has been crowned and apparently retains control over the situation. : Frank Schneck has been arrested and taken to Franklin County as a suspect in the murder of his wife. He was arrested here and transported to Ottawa. A woman here is also to be considered in the case. : The accumulation of filth on Massachusetts Street today makes it appear the controversy over how best to clean the streets resulted in a decision not to clean them at all.
