From the Lawrence Daily World for Oct. 14, 1909: There are now 64 known cases of infantile paralysis in 13 Kansas counties and the mysterious disease seems to be steadily spreading over the state. So far there have been 10 deaths and there have also been cases of paralysis. . . . Officials from the local poor farm plan to visit other counties to see how they can improve on the local operation when there is a new county home. . . . Hundreds of Fraternal Aiders are in town and there will be an outstanding auto parade and eight drill teams taking part. This is a major event for Lawrence. . . . A lad fitting the description of Earl Bullock who robbed the Eudora bank and shot a police officer here has been arrested in Guthrie, Okla., and officers seems sure they have the man being sought here. Sheriff Banning is eagerly awaiting more word but it appears the dangerous fugitive with a long record of crime has been caught, relieving many here who feared he was hiding out and creating a menace for Lawrence people. . . . Fire today destroyed the opera house and 14 business houses in Plainville with a total loss of more than $60,000.
