Trusting I may meet you all and thank you personally, I am, Respectively, D. D. Fickle, Mayor of Logansport

Many other praises for the work of the cadets and theCUlver Citizens who did their best to carry to saftey the people marooned and harried by the rushing waters of the Wabash River, but Mayor Fickle has voiced the burden of them all in the above letter which colonel Gignilliat recievd last week.

Governor Ralston also telegraphed to the superintendnet his thanks for the aid extended and for the offer to help in any other of the stricken cities.

The Record-Herald and Tribune of Staurday contained stories of the cadets' work in rescuing 1,500 people, and the Indianapolis Star of Tuesday had a similar story. The Sunday papers from Chicago also contained many picttures of the cutters working their way through the Cass County Venice. EVen the Philadelphia North American had an account of the Culver cadets in their good work.

Captain Bays spent Friday and Saturday in Logansport loading the cutters and collecting the equipment. The boats are now in their old quarters by Maxinkuckee - badly battered and looking like veterans are some of them, but their work was worthy the scars
