From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 11, 1910:

• “One of the big rock wagons filled to overflowing with crushed stone slipped its brakes at noon and ran amuck on Lee street. The heavy wagon finally collided with a phone pole and was splintered into kindling wood. The driver, Ben Garrett, was compelled to leap for safety, and was severely bruised.”
• “The fine suburban home of Wm. T. Miller, located east of the Indian school, has been sold to Mr. J. H. Brizendine. The place consists of twenty two acres with a fine modern home. Mr. Brizendine says that it appealed to him more than any other place he had seen, and he had visited a half dozen of the best towns in Kansas before coming here.”
