George Dee Dunmon was born In
Fayetteville, Tenn, Dec. 10, 1904,
and was drowned in the Smoky Hill
river May 7, 1922, at the age Of II
years, 4 months and 10 days.
Georges father died in Tennessee In
1904 and two years he with his
mother and grandparents came to
Kansas and lived in Abilene for a
few years, later moving south Of
Solomon where he has lived until
the time Of his death and where he
was loved and respected by all who
know him.
Let US, II possible, gather up the
elements of the life Of the departed
one and weave of them picture for
the walls Of memory. The book Of
life was opened and new name was
written therein by the hand Of love.
His life was rare jewel, his spirit
as gold retained in fire ready for
heaven. These flowers and emblems
Of love, but God hath bid him well
come to that mansion which He him
SELF has prepared, where are the
songs Of the redeemed.
He ran the Journey Of his life In
II years. 1t was a path marked by
deeds Of kindness and cheer. For the
Sabbath of earth he now enjoys the
never ending Sabbath Of heaven. He
waits your coming and watches near
the gate. Vain b any attempt to
measure the loss Of a son; after all
the poets have sung and lovers
dreamed, outside Of heaven there is
no love like child's love to his par
ents. Much has been taken from
these lonely parents and large
circle Of relatives and friends.
The last services were held at the
Presbyterian church at Solomon con-
Quoted by Rev. Ritchman. Burial in
Solomon cemetery. Songs were
rendered by members of
the church. The flowers were many
and beautiful, but not more beauti-
full than the face that rested so
among them The deep
est sympathy Of wide circle Of
friends and relatives is extended to
the sorrowing parents who are left
to mourn the loss Of a son and
brother. -"

KANSAS NOT 81 BAD EITHER
Illinois Has Most Tornadoes Sta
I tistics Show

Kansas may be windy but 1t Is not
The tornado state some persons
you'd have the world believe. This
q the conclusion reached from data
cted by 8. P. Peterson, federal me-
teorlogist at Wichita. While Ne
braska, Oklahoma, Texas and other
states have been experiencing dis
astrous wind storms this spring Kan
sas has so far escaped.
According to figures compiled by
an authority in 1897, covering the
16-year period from 1S74-S1 and
from 1SS9-98, Illinois was slightly
In the lead in frequency of tornado
occurrence per unit area, New Jer-
sey second, Kansas third, Maryland
fourth, Massachusetts, fifth, Iowa
sixth, Indiana seventh, Missouri
eighth, Ohio ninth, Georgia tenth
and Pennsylvania eleventh.
But Prof. Frank Waldo, once a
Junior professor in the United States
signal service, wrote at a later date:
1.-The regions Of greatest frequency
of tornadoes are the lower Missouri,
the central Mississippi and the Ohio
river valleys and the season of their
greatest frequency is the late spring
and summer for these regions, but
farther south many tOrnadOes occur
in the spring. Few tOrnadoes occur
in the United States west of the
one hunrdedth meridian"

WILL CONDEMN THE LAND
II Union Pacific Persists In Trying
70 Block Road


On it's claim that 1t holds deed,
made In 1866, to the land on which
Dickinson county proposes to build
its Golden Belt highway and new
$25, ZOO concrete bridge, near Chap.
man, the Union Pacific has ordered
preliminary work at that point dis
continued. The disputed location Is
half mile east of the town Of Chap
man, on the Isler and Oesterhaus
farms. Investigation of the records
show that such deco was actually
granted In 1866.
In building the new Golden, Belt
highway, the Dickinson county COM
missioners changed the location from
the present dirt road and also
planned the erection of the new
bridge. The surveys and preiimin-
airy work were being carried on sew
eral days ago when The Union Pa
cifc foreman at Chapman suddenly
ordered all work halted.
After brief investigation of the
company's stand in the matter 1t
was decided to comply, temporarily.
The company offered to give the
count va lease on the land at a NOM
inal rental but when the lease was
sent here it contained a fine print
clause providing that the Union Pa
citic could dictate what traffic should
go over the road-which would of
course include all bus and truck traf-
a. tn
Dickinson county commissioners re-
fused to sign any such lease and
legal proceedings 20 condemn the
land through the courts will be
started II the road continues its pol
icy. 1t may hold up the work for
several months but the county will
win in the end.
