From the Lawrence Daily World for June 9, 1910: “H. E. Trude, the father of Charles Trude, who shot and seriously wounded Deputy Sheriff Woods about a month ago, came to Lawrence this morning to see what could be done towards getting bond and a good lawyer for the wayward son. The father is a horse trader and breeder and St. Marys, and is a man of good repute in his community. He seems to be unfortunate in having a black sheep for a son, and is endeavoring to straighten his offspring out…. The new year for dog taxes began the 15th of last month, and so far only seven owners of canines in the city have paid the tax. Now there are over 700 dogs in Lawrence and each one of these animals must be tagged so that doggie’s life may be insured. The Marshal has ordered all dogs without collars and tax tags to be shot on sight, and that is just what the policemen are doing…. A live wire fell to the sidewalk near the Aurora theatre last night and for a time furnished fireworks for the crowd, which stood at a respectful distance. Passersby were warned of the danger and the wire was removed before anyone was injured.”
