From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 14, 1908: “The box of poisoned candy sent to Ella Van Meter, 634 Cheyenne, Armourdale, Kansas City, by an unknown person has arrived in Lawrence for analysis by Prof. Bailey of the university chemistry department. The package was a Loose-Wiles Candy Co. box that had been used, discarded and then rewrapped with poisonous material inside. The university often is asked to help in such investigations. : Maurice A. Kent, who will graduate in the liberal arts at Iowa State University this year, has been elected to take charge of all the athletic teams at Haskell Institute. He comes well-recommended and is recognized in Iowa as a sort of sports idol. : Catherine Leonhard, teacher at Woodlawn School, was badly but not dangerously burned by an explosion in a gas heating stove at the school. The explosion occurred just after her pupils had been dismissed for the day.”
