Kansas Saloon Owners & Keepers.

This page is to help those families that know their ancestor was a Saloon Owner or a Saloon Keeper and lived some where in Kansas, but have no idea where or how to look for them. I hope this page will be a help to some.

T. J. Lyons Jr.

In 1892 he decided to launch out into business on his own account and in that year opened a retail meat market and grocery store, his place of business having been located on Summit street in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1893, however, he disposed of that business and opened a saloon in the same city, later conducting a saloon in Kansas City, Kansas. He never grew very enthusiastic about the saloon business, however, and eventually disposing of his establishment he turned his attention to real estate operations, in which line of enterprise he has since been engaged and in which he has achieved unusual success.

Delphos Carrier, Dec 14, 1883.

DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOADED.

Last Saturday evening, Beloit was thrown into a fever of excitement by the announcement that James Davis, saloon keeper on the corner of Mill and South St. had shot and killed Pete Dolan. Davis was immediately arrested and a jury of inquest was called and held over the body of the deceased. Upon investigation it was found that Dolan had been drinking during the afternoon, was in possession of a self-cocking revolver which he was offering to trade to Davis for a watch, Davis examined the revolver and declined to trade. At the time of the interview the revolver was not loaded; Dolan lingered about the saloon till supper time when Davis went to his supper, upon his return after supper Dolan was still in the saloon, but during Davis' absence had put two cartridges in the revolver, the conversation was again renewed in regard to the trade. Dolan handed the revolver to Davis without informing him that it was loaded; just at the moment Davis was in the act of pressing his finger upon the trigger, Dolan stepped in front of the revolver, receiving the charge in the right side of the chest killing him instantly. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental killing.
