DO NOT FORGET
North Topeka Citizens Met G.. ].
Borden ut Depot.
He Was Mayor Of st. Joe and
Sent Relief in 1908 Flood.

That North Topekans do not forget
favors easily was prLven this morning
when delegation OF North siders
headed by ex-Mayor W. S. Bergundthal.
Fred Voiland and ]. S. Priddy met ex-
Mayor Charles ]. Borden and the vet
Grams of the ST. Joseph post at the
Rock Island depot. The delegation was
at the depot in honor Of St. Joseph's
ex-mayor.
Just why the North siders should
honor the ex-mayor Of ST. Joseph is
story forgotten by few and remem-
bered by many.
When North Topeka was almost
wiped out in 1909 by the flood it was al
most impossible for those on the south
side of the river to help those in the
flooded district. Communication was
practically cut off. A call to surround
Ing towns for help was sent out and st.
Joseph responded by sending a train
load of boats from Lake Contrary. The
Missouri town also sent train load or
provisions. The boats were sent to the
Boys Industrial school and with them
hundreds Of refugees were taken from
the flooded district. Hundreds of
refugees were cared for with the pro-
visions sent from st. Joseph. Judge
Charles ]. Borden was the mayor OF st.
Joseph at this time and that is why the
delegation Of North siders were there to
honor him.
Judge Borden is also commander OF
Custer Post No. at ST. Joseph. The
veterans from ST. Joseph were taken
to the state house in autos furnished by
the North siders. where they were reg
tstered and were then taken to their
places III the encampmont.
