From the Atchison Patriot.
Wichita never had marked social dis
tinction until the boom struck the town in
1886. Until that eventful period, nobody
was known outside of the town except
William Grietfensteiu, who had been to
the legislature and had become acquainted
in the state. There were other men of
equal local importance, but they were all
mere toilers; the owners Of vast domains
of bottom land, which tenants titled for
them for half rent" Then came tn e
boom, and these men suddenly became
rich. Their money dazZled them, and in
few months they had built palatial homes
and set up extravaganza family establish
ments. This is the way society began in
Wichita, and so it exists yet. Money is
the open sesame; bad grammar is not
bar.
