HEROES OF THE FLOOD.
G. c. Bailey and J. T. Shankiin Were
Equal to the Occasion.

There are two men In this town who
ought to be rewarded In substantial
way, and II the railroad companies
know good men when they see them,
they will be. says the Lawrence Ga
zette. These two men are George c.
Bailey and J. T. Shanklin, The Union
Pacific and Santa Fe railroads were
the heaviest losers of course, and their
tracks were gone, communication stop
ped. and Lawrence was isolated from
the world save for the tracks from
here to Ottowa.
ON the north side Joe Shanklin work
ed day and night In the rain, mud ami

skin and directed and kept going every
thing that could move for ten days I'M
I'll an outlet was made. and his road
was taking trains In and out OF the
city. And his work was not confined to
saving railroad property and taking
care OF il. He gave his own efforts and
the efforts OF the men under him to the
rescue work. and hundreds were taken
care of. housed and fed under their d.
rections Joe took time neither to eat
or sleep and so long as the danger was
on he was Mt his post, which meant

On this side George Bailey was
working like giant. directing and
controlling ,le Affairs OF his road, and
upon him depended ali communication
with the outside world. He Is a man
who knows men, and how to handle
them, and the few complaints that
were filed when all the travel. all the
commerce. all the business OF the city
and country devolved upon him. show
the admirable skill In which he man
aged the affairs OF the company. In the
absence Of Superintendent Mcclellan,
MIR. Bailey had charge Of everything.
and he managed II well. from taking
core OF a hysterical lady's trunk to-
quelling a riot among the workmen.
