Alleged Conspiracy Against the Life and Property of a Graham County Man, Topeka Weekly Capital, 7 July 1892 Alleged Conspiracy Against the Life and Property of a Graham County Man Special correspondence of the Capital. The little village of Bogue, ten miles east of Hill City, in the edge of Graham county Monday morning had a sad reflection of a terrible crime bestowed upon her people by Eugene P. Bancroft, who had for years been seeking to make way with his employer, M. D. Parish. Mr. Parish and his wife were away on a visit to New Haven, Conn. Sheriff Sharp on Monday morning received a telegram to arrest said Bancroft. It is charged that a conspiracy for a long time had been going on between Mr. Bancroft and Mrs. E. Parish, the wife of M. D. Parish, to take the life of Mr. Parish and get him out of the way, as an intercepted correspondence between the two conspirators appears to show. It seems from the evidence given in the preliminary examination before Esquire Lawlis of Hill City that Mr. Parish had recently come in possession of all of his deceased father's estate, he being the only heir. Mr. Parish also had his life insured for $2,000, payable to his wife. The intercepted correspondence clearly shows a purpose of taking the life of Mr. Parish for the purpose of getting this property and the proceeds of the life insurance on the death of Mr. Parish. Mr. Parish and wife had two children, and in order to let the wife and her co-conspirator get all the property, his wife and Bancroft induced Mr. Parish to will all of his property to his wife before starting the trip. Mr. Bancroft now lies in the Graham county jail, asking for $2,000 bond. [Source: Topeka Weekly Capital (Topeka, Kansas), 7 July 1892.] |

Each one taking part did their work in a manner that pleased the entire gathering we would like to go into details about the whole play and give each student undeserving mention for the way in which they conducted themselves the time and space for bid. The receipts of the play went to the high school and we understand that the receipts amounted to something like ninety five dollars. This speaks well for the people in our community when they will turn out in this manner and give freely to an educational cause such as this. In these trying times it is hard for some people to get enough money to take care of their home in table for times will never get too hard for good on his people like the western part of Graham County can boast of to turn down any educational feature,! even though they are giving their last dollar. Our people cannot be praised too highly. The students taking part in this play are as follows: Harold Morton, A Railroad Surveyor................................ Milo G. Stock Clarence Ogden, An Arizona Ranchman.................... Earl Huntington Samuel Hopkins, A Land Speculator............................ Victor Blazier Pedro Silvera, A Mexican Renegade............................ Truman Perry Jim Parker, A Gambler Who Is on the Square............... John Born Bill Jones, A sure Fire Sheriff..................................... Roy Kline Ruth Arlington, "A Daughter of the Desert"................ Sophia White Lucy Hopkins, Her College Chum.............................. Gladys Blazier Mrs. Mary Ogden, An Arizona Widow...................... Mayme Keith White Bird, An Apache Indian Girl............................ Myrtle Webber The class will present this play in the Lenora this evening and we sincerely hope that Lenora does as well by them as Morland. We are satisfied the Lenora will give them a deserving house that they will receive the highest praise. LATER On account of the severe storm of last evening the high school will not present their play over Lenora until some future date.

The Noland Family, December, 1918 [Undated article. Based on dates of deaths of the three individuals, the article was probably published in December 1918.] Last week we noted that Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Noland, residing about 8 miles northeast of Morland, were victims of pneumonia following influenza. This week we have to record the death of another of the family - Miss Gladys Noland, sister of Mr. Nolan, at the Noland Farm. She was buried Tuesday of this week in the South Star cemetery, where Mr. and Mrs. Noland were buried. Miss Gladys was one of the teachers in the Morland schools this year, and a sister of Mrs. Sanders Cain of Morland. The two orphaned children of the Noland family are now with Mrs. Cain. This is a great and severer bereavement for Mrs. Sanders Cain and this unusual occurrence of three young people of one family dying in about a week is a blow the two communities interested will not soon forget.

Fireman is Killed On May 18, James Rubison [sic-Ruberson] fireman on train No. 6 over on the Rock Island was killed and many passengers injured or shaken up when passenger trains No. 39, west bound and No. 6 east bound, crashed in a head-on collision in a fog at Selden, Kansas. The trains were to pass at Selden, but No 39, due to a heavy fog, ran past the station and crashed into No. 6 at the west end of the yards. Three cars of strawberries, forming an express shipment on No. 39 were telescoped, probably resulting in the saving of many lives. No other cars were derailed. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Sears of Colby who were passengers on No. 39 were bruised some. Mr. Rubison lived at Phillipsburg, Kansas, but was brot [sic] to this county by his son, Rex Rubison and buried in the Rock Creek cemetery on Tuesday of this week.

Morland-Quinter football game 11 Nov 1924 Several "pep" meetings were held during the noon hour the past week, and the results were observed at the Quinter-Morland game. The students were represented a hundred per cent. Lets all of us, students and town people, be out to cheer our team on to victory at the WaKeeney-Morland game next Friday, November 14. Lets be back of our home team! Lets help them win! Morland High School Tigers won a moral and technical victory over Quinter. Coming from behind in the third and fourth quarters, Morland beat Quinter 11-10 November 11th. Although the decision was 10-9 in favor of Quinter, Morlan really won a victory. We outplayed Quinter in the first period of the game, after which Quinter stiffened and piled up a score of 10-0 at the end of the half. Morland went to the dressing rooms during the half and received a good lecture which put the old pep into them which accounted for the first score. Morland forced Quinter to the 25 yard line where the unexpected happened. Laurel Born one of Morland's tackles stepped back of the line and sent a perfect drop kick sailing between the goal posts. In the next quarter Morland fought with the same old spirit, making gains at every play. Then again came a great moment. Keith, Morland's end, raced away with a 40 yard pass, for a touchdown. Born failed to kick the goal. The sefety came at the end of the game, when a Quarter man was tackled behind the line, but the referee fuled that he had blown his whistle, which "if so" did not allow the extra score.

Rev. Ira Bieber letter, Morland Monitor, 10 April 1926 From Rev. Bieber April 10, 1926. The Morland Monitor, Morland, Kansas. Dear Friend Naylor: This notice to say to you and all my friends that I'm in this State for the second time in connection with hospital work. Both occasions campaigning with the goal of one and one-half millions of dollars. This is a big task in his meeting with the usual campaign success. A word about the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children. One of the best equipped of its kind in this country but far too small for the sick and crippled children of the State. The campaign is for the purpose of increasing the buildings and equipment. The State of Indiana appropriate fifty thousand dollars a year to maintain it and the counties pay for their own cases so that we are not Al for money to maintain but to expand for larger service. Over fourteen hundred children had been cared for during the past seventeen months or thereabouts. More than one hundred are on the waiting lists now. Just in his the story of our appeal. I have thought with a blessing and a centrally located hospital in our state would be to the sick and crippled children there. I will not consume space to tell you more this time I am interested in this work for the time but will be anxious to get back into my pulpit to encourage folks to live the better life which prepare them to live again. My address will be Terre Haute, Indiana Care J. T. Pierce L. B. 653 untill further notice. I am here there and elsewhere. Best Regards, Your Friend Ira J. Bieber PS Will be glad for letter from one and all. [Source: Clipping from unknown newspaper, contained within scrapbook of Gladys Blazier Born. Submitted by Jackie Wilson Goddard.] |

Three Die In Wreck [1938] Mrs. Worcester Clark Is Killed In Automobile Collision Enroute to western Kansas, three Wichitans were killed and one seriously injured when the automobile in which they were riding collided with a transport truck on highway No. 154 near Bucklin, Sunday. The dead were Mrs. Melva Clark, 26 years old, of 341 North Market Street, Ralph Shreck, 28 yearsold, of 2600 East Twenty-first Street, and Delbert F. Barbeau, 25 years old, of 1947 Wellington Place. The injured person was Lola Mae Miller, 19 years old, of 341 North Market Street, roommate of Mrs. Clark. Earl Moore, driver of the truck, of Dodge City, suffered minor bruises and scratches. Miss Miller was taken to St. Anthony Hospital in Dodge City where it was said she suffered fractures of one arm and one leg. Three other young women, Virginia Hurd, Pauline DeWater and Louise Dykes, rode in the automobile from Wichita to Greensburg where they stopped while the remaining four continued westward. Relatives of the Wichitians were not told of the accident until late Sunday night as authorities at Dodge City were unable to establish identification of the victims. Miss Miller was unable to tell details of the accident or the names of her companions because of her condition. Besides the fractures she suffered internal hurts and was in a semi-conscious condition most of Sunday. Sheriff Claude Dowdy, of Dodge City, said ice on the pavement was the cause of the collision. Schreck was driving west and the truck east. Moore said his truck and the automobile were traveling at moderate rates of speed and that when they neared each other the automobile skidded across the road and the two vehicles collided head-on. The automobile was complete demolished and the truck badly damaged. Identification of the three killed was obtained by Deputy Sheriff Paul Hieger who checked the license number of the automobile and called members of Schreck's family -from the Wichita Beacon. Mrs. Melva Clark, the wife of Worcester Clark and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. R. Mort of Hill City, was in Wichita where she had enrolled in the Venus Academy of Beauty Culture, on October 2. Mrs. Kate M. Jackson, aunt of Mrs. Clark, had spent Saturday night with her in Wichita, as she was enroute to Siloam Springs, Arkansas. She left her Sunday morning just a short time before Mrs. Clark left Wichita with the group of friends, who were students at the academy. She had been invited to accompany two of the young folks to Dodge City for the day and the other friends were to be dropped off at various places to spend Sunday with relatives. Mrs. Clark had written to her husband saying she would call him by telephone on Sunday and she had remarked to Mrs. Jackson that since she had an opportunity to go to Dodge City she would call him from there. It has been a great comfort to her family to know of the happy state of mind she was experiencing when she left Wichita, when, after weeks of homesickness, she had seen her aunt and spent the night with her, and was filled with the anticipation of a telephone conversation with her husband. Reports came to Hill City early this week that Miss Miller, who was critically injured in the accident, had died. However the re- [Remainder of article is missing.] [Transcriber note: Melva Mort Clark is buried in Hill City Cemtery and the death year inscribed on the marker is 1938.] [Source: Clipping from unknown newspaper, contained within scrapbook of Gladys Blazier Born.
