From the Lawrence Daily World for March 17, 1909: The measles continue to cause problems for hundreds in Eudora and schools are to be closed until there is a letup. More than 200 cases have been reported for children and adults and a number of entire families are battling the problem. … A quarrel over a dice game, a short struggle and then three rapid shots killed Dune Walker dead. Hippy Patterson, the murderer, then fled and so far has eluded all efforts to catch him.”
