Levees Hold As Flood Near Crest In Lawrence
Sandbags erected overnight along a levee held back rising floodwaters about 8 feet deep, preventing river water from spilling into the street. The Kansas State Guard Lawence company mobilized under Gov. Schoeppel to aid Sheriff Skinner with duty in the flood emergency. About 6 feet of water blocked the North Lawrence underpass, traffic was halted, and rural mail routes faced detours with incomplete coverage. A separate note recounts medieval Persians using a wagered finger in a chess game with cauterization for the loser.
