Title A name given to the resource Emil Kovar in Car-Train Accident, 1985, Rossville, Kansas Subject The topic of the resource Accidents Description An account of the resource [Caption: Emil Kovar escaped serious injury after Union Pacific train hit his car last week. The car sustained major damage. Photo by Lisa Rosenow] Kovar Suffers Rib Injury in Car-Train Mishap Emil Kovar, 82, Rossville, escaped serious injury Tuesday, August 6, when a Union Pacific train crashed into his car while he was trying to get it off the tracks. Kovar suffered rib injuries, said a county official, and was treated at Stormont-Vail Regional Medical Center and released. Kovar was driving south across the railroad tracks, which run parallel and about 300 feet north of US-24, about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, said Deputy John Barber of the Shawnee County Sherrif's Department. When Kovar saw the train approaching from the west, he stopped the car and tried to put the vehicle in reverse, Barber said. Instead, he shifted into park, leaving about four feet of the front of the car across the tracks. The one-engine train, which routinely shuttles empty cars between Topeka and Junction City, was pulling eight empty cars that day.

Title A name given to the resource Union Pacific Highway, 1923, Rossville, Kansas Description An account of the resource July 19, 1923 L. E. Gomery, of Hays, Kansas representing the U. P. highway which passes thru Rossville over the same route as marked by both the Midland and Victory routes, was in the city Tuesday trying to get the local business men to give $100 as a donation to the U. P. highway association to be used in the expense of propaganda, map booklets, roadmarkers, etc. Mayor VanOrsdol got out a few business men to me§t Mr. Gomery in the afternoon in the directors’ room of the Rossville State Bank. No action was taken at this meeting. At the Council meeting Tuesday night, the matter was discussed again without action being taken. It is generally felt here that since Rossville is on three of the trails, any financial aid that is given by the people of the com¬munity should be divided up be¬tween the three and this prob¬ably is what will be done in the future. A representative of the Auto¬mobile Club, of Kansas City was here Monday trying to raise money for his organization, but according to Mr. Gomery, this Club has neither reason nor right in asking for funds, since all the maps and information the Club’s tourist bureau can use in direct¬ing tourists over the various trails is furnished by these highway as¬sociations, and the Club should be entirely neutral in giving in¬formation about the routes. Farther west the three highways use different routes and the com¬petition between towns on these routes is becoming very keen in bidding for the tourist traffic. The U. P. highway with white markers claims better night driv¬ing on its route in addition to a route 14 miles shorter than all others between Kansas City and Denyer.[sic] July 19, 1923 The latter part of August the U. P. highway association will have a speed car make the run from Kansas City to Denver un¬der conditions as the run made yesterday by the ‘‘Gray Goose” which made the run over the Vic¬tory highway , in an effort to low¬er the record set yesterday. Rossville is fortunate in being on all three trails and from a sel¬fish standpoint could sit back and refuse to dig up for any of them but such is not the attitude the business men want to take, be¬cause if the traffic is worth any¬thing to the town, the town in re¬turn should help bear the expense of trying to route tourists thru this part of the state instead of having them take the trails to the north or south of us. August 1, 1923 Mr. Hazelbaker, manager of the Midland Trail between St. Louis and Denver, will run a race against the time of the Rock Is¬land train between Kansas- City and Denver, Thursday August 10 He will use a Buick stock car and will endeavor to show that the trail is in such condition that a car can leave Kansas City and beat the Rock Island train into Denver. Practically all towns along the route have pledged Mr. Hazel baker their support in hav¬ing the road in readiness across their respective counties. City officials have promised to co¬operate to the extent of keeping the streets clear of cars until he passes through their city. Roads will be patrolled the entire dis¬tance. It is believed that this will be one of the best advertise- ments that the Midland Trail can possibly get. He will leave Kan¬sas City at 2a.m. on the morning of August 16, and expects to reach Denver at 9 p.m. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Rossville Reporter, Rossville, Kansas Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Rossville Community Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource July 19, 1923 August 1, 1923 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Public domain Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource copies of newspaper clippings Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context RCL0566 Union Pacific Railroad http://recollectionsks.org/files/original/70d75885c98cfd6701d9c85bb9d71207.jpeg 5e00f8f7463df0418ae206f9dd1271bb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 1913 Rossville Roads Graveled Description An account of the resource DECEMBER 1913 Rossville Main Street will be graveled, according to a decision by the city council. The portion to be graveled will start at the south end near the railroad and run- to the north end of the block and west on Pottawatomie to the city limits. With the three miles finished west of town, a continuous gravel road of about 22 miles will stretch west of Topeka. Hattie Kirby and Walter McCleary were married in Kansas City and went to Texas for a honeymoon. The 14th annual M.W.A. Grand Ball will be held at Fritz Hall New Year’s Eve. Music will be provided by Kramer’s five-piece or¬chestra. The county commis¬sioners are being urged by the Secretary of State to designate the county roads in Shawnee County. The last legislature provided a tax on automobiles and motorcycles, the revenue to be used in the improve¬ment of county roads. This money has been collected in Shawnee county but can¬not be used until the com¬missioners have de¬signated certain of the roads as county roads. This seems to be the day and age when every farmer has a chance to go to school. If he can’t go for four years, he can go for a year, and if he can’t go for a year, the Kansas State Agricultural College offers him a ten- week’s course, beginning January 6, 1914. The little auto that has been on exhibition for several weeks at Rossville Cash Store as a prize to the boy selling the greatest amount of cookies and crackers was won by Ho¬ward Bixby. Ralph Hartzell was second, Theo Marney third, and Willie Shipley fourth. The Reporter begins its' 15th year since the paper succeeded the “Times” or “Gimlet” as its old patrons called it. The editor has also purchased the Silver Lake Mirror and will publish both papers. The Mirror will continue to be published at Silver Lake with Frank Skinner looking after the mechanical end of the business. C. E. Cless has landed the agency for the Ford automobile in this ection [sic] of Shawnee County.

Title A name given to the resource Seth Cormack's Balloon, 1909, Rossville, Kansas Description An account of the resource From the March 5, 1909, Rossville Reporter: Mr. [Seth] Cormack, the balloonist, made a most successfully ascension with his balloon last Saturday evening. The feat was viewed by many and all said it was one of the best they had ever seen. In the early part of the afternoon an attempt was made to fill the balloon with gas but without success owing to the wind. It was just about sundown after most of the crowd had gone home that another effort was made and shortly after the big bag sailed away to the clouds with Cormack hanging to the parachute. It reached a height of nearly 2,000 feet before he cut the rope and dropped with the parachute and alighted gently in Conley's corn field.
