Newell Pond marries Minnie Krebs...

MARRIED.

At the residence of the bride’s father, in this city, Wednesday, June 21st, 1882, by the Rev. Mr. Moorehead, Mr. Newell Pond and Miss Minnie Krebs. Congratulations are extended to the wedded pair for their future happiness.

Newell Pond and Minnie Krebs Pond...

Arkansas City Traveler, June 20, 1883.

Last Tuesday evening quite a family disturbance took place at the Star Restaurant caused by the return of one Pond, who was married to a daughter of Krebs’ and his desire that his wife should go with him. Words waxed high, the result being that Krebs was arrested for a breach of the peace and taken before Judge Bonsall, who fined him $5 and costs.

Mr. (?) Pond...

Arkansas City Traveler, June 18, 1884.

He Wanted to Make His Own Whiskey.

For several months Searing & Mead have been missing grain from their bins, but have been unable to detect the guilty parties. Last Sunday morning, however, William Burroughs, a drayman in the city, was seen coming from a Santa Fe car with a basket of corn. This car was about half loaded for shipment, Searing & Mead being the consignors. Burroughs was arrested Monday morning, and acknowledged the theft so readily that further search was made about his premises, resulting in finding a lot of carpenter’s tools, which had been taken from a Mr. Pond, his tool chests having been broken open a week ago last Friday. He was also charged with stealing a saddle, bridle, and whip. In Burroughs’ cellar were found about 100 whiskey bottles, which told too plainly the story of his downfall. He has been in the habit, we learn, of buying straight alcohol and diluting the same to satisfy an appetite that has drowned all instincts of manhood and literally ruined him. A few years ago he was a hard working, industrious man, and managed to buy a house and several lots, but of late he has given way to the desire for drink, which has brought him to his present condition. It will sweep away the earnings of years to get himself out of his scrape. Burroughs’ trial was held before F. P. Schiffbauer and he was found guilty, on three counts, each petit larceny. For stealing the corn, he was fined $5 and costs; for stealing the tools, $10 and costs; and he was sentenced to sixty days in the county jail for stealing the saddle, bridle, and whip.
