Midian Shrine Keystone Kops

Midian Shrine Keystone Kops Keystone Kop History

The original By-laws were approved by Robert I. Cory (Potentate) on February 25, 1975. The reason for the delay was that Mr.

The original By-laws were signed June 10, 1975 by Gayle Estes (1st Chief of Keystone Kops) and signed July 15, 1975 by Robert Cory, (Potentate, Midian Temple). Estes wanted to start a Clown unit and could not because there was already a clown unit in Dodge City, which is under Midian jurisdiction. After some thought, Mr. Estes knew there was a Keystone Kop unit in San Francisco, California (The 1s

t Shrine Keystone Kop Unit) and decided that he would start one here in Wichita. The Potentate and Divan members wanted to make sure this unit was not going to be a Clown unit. After the Kops had gone to some parades and had done their acts, the By-laws were signed. In September of 1975 the Kops had their first C.S.S.A. in Wichita, Kansas. The Kops first Paddy Wagon was a 1941 Chevy Panel. The Paddy Wagon was a military ambulance. This was used until; Scotty Clark destroyed it on the way back from a parade in Augusta, Kansas in 1981. The Kops then bought a 1943 International Fire truck, which is now currently being used.
