Victims Of Arkansas City (kan.) Flood
Appreciate Aid Rendered by
Ex.service Men.

Citizens Of Arkansas City. Kan,
realized the value Of an active post
OF the American Legion during the re-
cent flood disaster which destroyed
many lives and caused millions Of dol.
lars In property damage to communi.
ties In southern Kansas.
With the town placed under what
approxlmated martial law, members
Of the Shelton Beatty post Of the Le-
gion assumed q task that only men
with military training could master.
The duty was to act In conjunction
with the city authorities to obtain
obedience Of laws formulated hurried
ly for the benefit Of the town and to
guard the flooded area from the pill
laging Of unscrupulous persons who
hocked to the stricken district to loot
what the water had left.
An organization was formed In short
order by the Leglonnaires and q cor
don Of guards was thrown about the
water front. Guard shifts were chosen
from 125 volunteers, who performed
this task for three nights until the
flood abated A battery of field artll.
lery Of the National Guard, called out
with the start Of the flood. was In the
midst Of drive for recruits, and 1t
was necessary for Legionnalres to fill
the depleted ranks Of the organization
to save Its members from the strain Of
night and day service.
The Leglonnaires' members had un.
derwritten In part a guarantee to a
Chautauqua company before the dlsas-
ter occurred. Communicating with
Chautauqua officials they obtained re-
lease from their contract and an offer
from the company to stage the pro-
gram for the benefit Of the flood relief
fund.
Now the veterans propose to coop.
erate In plans 10 be formulated by
civic organizations working toward
repair Of damage caused by the food
and for permanent relief to persons
who lost their homes and property.

England. Belgium and other allies.

Munyan and accompanied by Thomas
Maloney. while driving at a high
speed on East Main Street toward
Penns Grove, on Monday night, at
$50, smashed into an automobile
coming out of Alden Avenue, driven
by Milton Dolbow, smashing the front
wheel on the right hand side of the

thrown violently to the street several
yards ahead. Munyan, who was the
owner and driver OF the cycle, was

the focus of the drivers eyes. The
boys were taken to the office of Dr.
Fleming for treatment, after which
they were removed to their homes.

chanics. Both Teams
Hit i+eavy

The first game Of the chan p.oHshin
series was captured by the Operators
ON Thursday evening in a clean. hard
game, by a score Of 9-6.
The hitting Of both teams was hard
and consistent. both getting nine hits
and four going for extra bases. Both
pitchers were hit hard and gave free
passes to first freely, altho Creamer
held the situation better in hand than
Price, who seemed to be out Of his
usual form and control.
The breaks were all with the Oper-
ators thTUout and the Mechanics
fought a losing game from the first
inning when the Ops put across four
earned runs with as many hits. They
increased this steadily with the con-
sistent hitting Of Engle and Mat
thews. which accounted for several
rurs.
The hitting of the Mechanics was
equally as good but the runs were not
forth coming, for the fielding Of the
Operators and of Brown, in particular.
was fine work. Hunter pulled up in
his batting with two singles and a
double while Joe Patterson also did
some effective stick work. They
tried hard to even things up in the
last inning with three on and no outs.
but one was all the Mechanics were
able to get across.

Returned After FOrtv.two Years

James L. Zane and wife, of Farm
ingdale, Iowa, have been visiting their
relatives in this region the past two
weeks. Mr.. Zane is a brother of
Ebenezer P. Zane, who is a prosperous
farmer living near Penns Grove,
Their father was Thomas Zane and
their mother was Catharine Layton,
a sister of the late James F. Layton.
the father of J. L. Layton and John B.
Layton and also a sister to the late
Amy Matlack. whose son. William,
now lives at Sharptown.
They left here forty-two years ago
and went West and married there and
raised a family.
Mr.. Zane engaged in the blacksmith
business and continues to follow that
trade.
A peculiar coincidence is that James
L. Zane was named after his uncle,
the late James F. Layton. and looks
more like him than any Of his own
children.
Mr.. Zane has never been on East
since he left 42 years ago and the
many changes around Penns Grove
are quite noticeable to him.
