March 2, 2026, marked the centennial of the robbery of the Farmers & Drovers Bank by the Fleagle gang. Jake and Ralph Fleagle, of rural Garden City, together with other gang members robbed many banks in Kansas, California, and other states during the 1920s. On March 2, 1926, while one member of the gang waited in a running, blue, Buick touring car on Neosho Street aside the Farmers & Drovers Bank, two unmasked gang members entered the bank. (At that time the bank was located only in the building at the corner of the block.)
