From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 9, 1911:

• “The meeting of the Saturday Night Club this week should be unusually interesting for it will have for its guest of honor one of the noted Kansans and a figure of national prominence in the person of William Allen White. The meeting of the club will be held at the home of Prof. W. E. Higgins and William Allen White will make an address. That it will be interesting is certain for Mr. White always has something good to say…. Saturday afternoon he probably will attend the K.U.-Oklahoma football game and then will be at the meeting.”
• “A pair of brand new shoes and $24 in cash is a pretty fair return for a worthless piece of paper, and is good equipment for a journey to a more comfortable location, evidently one for which F. Johnson is making good use of his new shoes for the police officers have been unable to stop him as yet, or serve a warrant on him for passing a bogus check. Johnson appeared at the Hutchings shoe store yesterday afternoon and made a purchase of a pair of shoes. They were to cost him $1 for which he offered a check for $28, the paper was accepted and together with his new shoes and $24 in good American money, Johnson left the store about 4:30. Mr. Hutchings then attempted to get cash for the check but there seemed to have been some mistake as the drawer of the supposed check did not have an account in any of the banks of Lawrence.”
