New York capitalists plan Lima refinery venture
A party of New York investors led by Dudley Parlin of Albany met with Hover Brothers Spear Williams to finalize plans for a large refinery five miles southwest of the city. They control Lima crude refining methods and own pipelines and storage in the North Baltimore field, challenging Standard Oil in Ohio. An unrelated telegram reports a fire attack on S. H. Cline’s carpenter shop, possibly thwarted by rain. A new coal field is opening at Lucyville on the Monongahela River, with John Blythe and partners holding shares.

Bold Jewelry Store Robbery Stuns Kansas City
A bold daytime robbery at F. G. Altman’s jewelry store in downtown Kansas City yielded diamonds valued at 1500 dollars. A well dressed man feigned interest, grabbed a handful of stones, and fled on foot after an attempted horseback escape. The thief drew a revolver to deter pursuers, vanished into a bar, then a book store, and finally boarded a hack on Main Street. Detectives search trains and stations for the suspect as officers warn of further leads. Nearby, an unrelated ad lists port offerings from G. W. Schmidt.
