were sold off to the highest bidder.
Several of the barracks and barns
were selected by the Institutions,
which they wrecked, using the timbers
in their building operations. The old
Hospital and Doctors quarters were
retained for use of the Normal School
and later moved over to the present
school grounds. The stone Guard
House and stone Block House and the
ColonePs home were retained and are
still there, as are the trees planted by
General Sheridan IN front of the
quarters he occupied while stationed
here.
Most of the buildings were torn
down and the material hauled away,
but three of the cottages were moved
intact over to Hays and are still to be
seen here. Schlyers bought one and
located it on South Chestnut street
now the Strohmeier residence. Harry
Felten bought one and it now stands
as a residence on the lot just back of
the Standard Oil Filling Station on
West Second street-now owned by
A. B. Stewart. Mr.. Felten occupied
it as residence for years. The third
was bought by Henry Tyler, an old
soldier. 1t was moved to its present
location on East Perry avenue pull
ed across Big Greek and located there
by Dory Gosser with a sixteen-horse
team, and there it stands today, really
handsomer than the day it stood in
the Officers Row.
Mr.. Tyler and his sister, Mrs. Prudy
Shaw, came to Ellis county in 1878,
bought a ranch on the Smoky river
fifteen miles south of Hays, and lived
there for years. After the purchase
of this Fort building, they moved to
Hays and fixed it up, and it is now one
of the cosiest homes in this city, and
it is pleasure TO show to visitors as
part of old Fort Hays. They planted
trees and added to the house. Then
death claimed the Old Veteran, last
taps sounded The home is still kept
up and improved and still occupied
by the sister, Mrs. Prudy Shaw, who
will be eighty-nine years old in Nov
ember, and with the exception of her
eyesight, as smart and clipper as
when they came to Hays, twenty years
ago. Living with her are her neice,
Mrs. Kearns, and her husband, and
her nephew, Mr.. Moore, son of Bird
c. Moore. Both Mr.. Kearns and Mr..
Moore were soldiers in the late World
War; so the home has been the home
of both Civil and World war veterans.
AS Mrs. Shaw sits there on the
porch in the swing, enjoying this
beautiful Kansas Summer and Fall,
her vine clad home with evergreen,
fruit and shade trees of their own
planting, on the barren spot they
moved to twenty years ago, she is
as happy as happy can be and per-
fectly contented and glad to have her
friends, and even visitors to our city,
call and enjoy her home comforts.
Her many friends hope she may live
for years more to enjoy this happy
world of ours.

Community Work in Kansas
(By Rev. D. C Smith,

Consolidated public schools are
rapidly coming into favor in Western
Kansas, and this naturally suggests
the community church.
At HolcOmb, the community
church, the only church in the com
munity, is under the auspices of
Larned Presbytery. Some time ago
spent Sabbath there and the attend
ance was 246 at Sabbath School,
though the village has a population of
scarcely one hundred. The school
plant here cost about $225,OOO, and
the fine auditorium and classrooms of
the high-school building are freely
used by the church and Sabbath
school
At Kingsdown, another small vii
lage in this Presbytery, five school
districts have consolidated and an
$4,000 school building is being erect
ed, and here also the Presbyterians
have the community church.
Early in July our Presbytery re-
ceived an urgent request from the
town of Chase to organize from Meth
odist, Congregational and Christian
churches a Presbyterian community
church. This starts out as a large
self-suppOrtinng church. These COM
munity churches demand the best tai
ent and special type of progressive
pastors.
At the spring melting of Presbytery
new church was enrolled, called I'M
manuel, organized in the open country
midway between the two county seats
Leoti ad Lakin. A new church build
ing is to be erected and July 26 the
work was begun by the people of the

TWO SHERIFFS
ARREST WRONG PAIR

Franklinton was all agog last Mon
day over the capture of a pair of des-
perate criminals who were wanted by
the sheriff of Walthall County, Mis-
sissippi, and as a result of the activi-
ties of Sheriff Bateman and his posse
the wheels of commerce stopped in
the parish seat while the sheriff
held Alan Cross and Hollis Cros-
by, of Bogalusa, under arrest await
ing the arrival of Sheriff Breland,
from Tylertown.
Cross and Crosby were returning
Monday morning from an overland
trip to VicksbuPg and somewhere on
the road lost their license plate, COM
ing through Tylertown Sheriff Bre-
land saw the car and glimpsing its oc-
cupants thought them to be the pair
who had stolen a Ford sedan from
New Orleans week ago, started in
pursuit.
The ancient bus Of the sheriff was
no match for the newer car and by
the time the sheriff reached Warner
ton the suspected car was far in the
distance. By utilizing one of the
systems troublesome
toys Sheriff IRELAND got connection
with the Louisiana officials and re
quested that he stop the fugitives and
hold them till he arrived.
When Cross and Crosby reached
they were greeted by a
reception committee consisting of the
sheriff and a nalf dozen deputies well
fortified with artillery and determin-
ed that they should not pass. By the
time they had been parked on the side
street, beginning to realize that they
were under arrest, business in Frank
linton had come to a standstill and
the crowd continued to grow bigger.
Cross and Crosby were quickly i'd
entitled as Bogalusa boys but it was
not until Sheriff Breland arrived that
the car was identified as their prop
erty and apologies in order. In the
the New Orleans car and
it's two occupants is speeding merrily
along the road and the police are more
vigiiant than ever.

September. The delegates to this
Congress represent over nine million
fraternalists and they stand back OF

tally to a degree unusual in women.
She has never been associated with
any faction, nor is she theorist. two
attributes that will count with Presi-
dent Harding in making the appoint
ment.
The local members are very proud
of the recognition that has been given
Miss Vests abilities in the enthusiast
tic mention of her name all over the

STAG FOR LEGION
WAS BIG SUCCESS

The stag which was rendered the
visiting Legionaires by Magic City
Post on Tuesday night was a decided
success. There were three lively
fights which were fast and furious
and which were enjoyed by the large
crowd. Following the fights Clar-
ence Bennett, of the Lyric theater, of
New Orleans, put on three acts of
vaudeville, which was among the best
ever shown in this city. The show
consisted of a team of singing, talk
ing and dancing, singing and clog
and wing dancer, a one-act sketch and
as a visitor stated, cit knocked 'em
cold and was the best ever seen off
the big time circuit" Each act was
given a heavy applause and ,encores
were frequent. So pleasing was the
show that already plans are on foot
to have MIR. Bennett bring over his
entire show in the near future, the
show Tuesday night being only three
acts Of his regular z and 9-act show.
In the event that he brings his entire
show he will also likelv bring the
Robichaux Orchestra, which plays at
the Lyric and is said to be the best
in the South. Following the show
a hot lunch was served the crowd,
many of whom remained at the arm

while others went to the Elks, where
a dance was held.
