From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 19, 1912:

“Eudora probably will receive a supply of electricity from Lawrence in the future, if the plans that are now being discussed are carried out. Manager J. T. Skinner and W. C. Duncan of the Lawrence Railway & Light Company are in Eudora today looking over the field preparatory to running the line into the city. Eudora has been in the market for electricity for some time, but as yet there are no wires into the city. Gas is the popular illumination there now. However, the city wants electricity and is anxiously awaiting its arrival from Lawrence…. Eudora is about eight miles from Lawrence, and it is estimated that it would require about $12,000 to run the line down from here and into the City of Eudora. The current will be used by individuals in their residences and stores and for street lighting purposes.”

“Those who are at all familiar with the room in the city hall occupied by police court will remember the unsightly little room to the north, filled with junk of various sorts. That little room has been made into a private office for Marshal Myers and will give him a place where he can attend to business without the publicity of public court. In the past during the trial of a case, if the phones rang the case was stopped that the one answering it might hear. An extension is to be put into the private office, so calls can be made or answered without disturbing the proceedings of the court. Wm. Hayter, the janitor, has taken up the old linoleum, oiled the floors, and cleaned up the woodwork until the court room and office have a fine appearance.”

“Sixty houses in the village of Kaylor, Oklahoma, were smashed by a terrific gale last night, but every person in the town which has a population of 300 escaped with no fatalities and only two hurt according to news received here this afternoon. The message declared that not a building in the village remained standing.”
