WELLINGTON, Kan. (AP) — Police and the Humane Society have removed 65 animals from a Wellington home where officers say the floors were covered with inches of feces.

There also were 10 chickens in the backyard.

Wellington Humane Society vice president Phyllis Todd says it was a classic case of hoarding.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas State Historical Society plans to return human remains excavated from Native American burial sites in Kansas to two tribes.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the remains of two people dug up in Pottawatomie County were donated to the historical society in 1881 by a private collector. In the years since, the historical society has received Native American remains from other counties.

Robert Hoard, a state archaeologist, wrote in April that the remains of 17 individuals and 148 burial objects belong to the Kaw Nation. He also determined remains of at least one person, along with glass beads and pottery found in 1916 or 1917 in Atchison County, belonged to the Kickapoo tribe.

Unless other tribes object during a public comment period, the remains will become the tribes’ property.

FORT SCOTT, Kan. (AP) — A new southeast Kansas museum is designed to honor people who have taken extraordinary actions to help others.

The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes opens Tuesday in Fort Scott. The 6,000-square-foot museum replaces a smaller exhibit gallery that opened in 2007 in the city’s downtown. The new high-tech facility includes a 48-seat theater and a conference room.

People honored in the museum have been the subjects of student research projects. They include Irena Sendler, who rescued more than 2,500 Jewish children during WWII. Also honored are a white man and woman who were teens when they befriended black students who were integrating a Little Rock, Arkansas, high school at the height of the civil rights movement.

The Milken Family Foundation also is known for honoring educators with $25,000 checks.
