In a 1908 Lawrence Daily Journal item a discussion links Prof Dyche with President Roosevelt's hunting trip, recalling his Arctic lecture tours and the role of H F Caldwell as a district promoter.

Deputy sheriff and neighbors kept watch at Elmer Dare’s Harmony home two miles away on June 9 as a strange disturbance rattled the cellar with rolling barrels and slammed doors. Night after night an eerie activity persisted with no visible cause despite moonlight and vigilant watchers. Some recall a Union-era tale of a girl and a father, but the mystery remains unsolved.
