ARCH GILLILAND FINDS
RECREATION IN MUSIC
______________

    Sam Gilliland is the name by which a former Beatrice citizen is known in Kansas City, but he used to be Arch Gilliland here. The Blue Diamond, publication of the Kansas City Athletic club, gives Mr. Gilliland a write-up in a recent issue, printing his picture and giving a brief record of his activities in work and recreation.
    When he lived in Beatrice, Mr. Gilliland played in the town band and he has kept up his music, according to the Kansas City authority. He is the tuba player in the Shrine band and is credited with being an expert on a number of other instruments. He is chief clerk in the passenger department of the Rock Island railroad, the company with which he found his first steady job in Beatrice and which he has continued with for twenty-three years.
