The thrilling events of the early history
of Kansas are recalled by the announce
ment of the death at Columbus, o of the
widow of Senator James II. Lane, the
daring and powerful leader in the turbu-
lent pioneer days of the state. Mrs. Lane

lived at Lawrence almost ever since she
and her husband first settled there, and
her body was taken back there for burial.
