HELPS CATCH BANK ROBBER

Former Junction Boy Makes Himself Famous by a Daring Adventure at Haxtum, Colorado

Ray B, Nimmo, formerly of Pacific Junction, played a very important part in the capture of a bank robber last week at Haxtum, Colorado, where he now lives. The robber shot and killed the assistant cashier while in charge of the bank, and got away on horseback with about $5,000. Mr. Nimmo was working in a garage near by, and hearing the alarm, got a gun and rushed out a car. Three other men joined him, and they started after the robber, and caught sight of him a mile and a half out of town. A very hot chase followed, but the robber saw that his horse was no match for the machine, so he turned into a gate and into a cornfield, thinking that the car could not follow him. Ray, however, turned the car into the cornfield, and a running battle took place between the robber and the party in pursuit. The men in the car succeeded in shooting the horse, and then they got out of the car and surrounded him. About 40 shots were exchanged before the bandit gave up, but luckily no one was hurt. The robber was bound, and put into the car, and all but $150 was recovered. When the posse got back to town, they found an angry mob waiting to avenge the life of the assistant cashier, Mr. Brunke. The men had a hard time to keep the mob from taking the prisoner and lynching him, but they sneaked him into a store, and out the back way to the depot and took him to Sterling for safe keeping.

Ferdinand Kuhl

Ferdidand Kuhl, at one time a resident of Mills County, a part of the time in the vicinity of Silver City, and later in Mineola, died in a hospital at Sioux City February 18. Mr. Kuhl moved to Emerson, Nebraska, about five years ago. The cause of his death was blood poisoning resulting from a broken leg, which accident occurred four days before his death. His wife was taken from this county to the Clarinda Hospital some 11 years ago. Three children are left fatherless by this death, and, of course, the mother is unable to care for them. Mr. Kuhl, since his wife has been in the hospital, has made a home for his children, caring for them tenderly as a mother. The body was brought to Mineola for burial, which took place last Sunday. He was 51 years, 5 months, and 29 days old. Among the relatives from a distance who came to attend the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Julius Lemp, Wm. Kuhl, Asmus Bichel, Charles Kay, Emerson, Nebraska; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kuhl of Loup City, Nebraska; Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kuhl of Calhoun, Nebraska. The three children of the deceased, Arthur, Willie, and Katie Kuhl, were also in attendance.

MARRIAGES

Longinaker-Buckingham

At the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Buckingham, south of Glenwood, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Grace Leota, to Walter S. Longinaker of Tabor. In the presence of about forty guests, the contracting parties took their places to the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march, which was played by Miss Mabel Estes, a cousin of the bride. The ceremony was performed by Rev. C.F. Tisher of Tabor. The bride looked beautiful in a gown of white silk with overdress of chiffon, and carried a bouquet of bride’s roses. The groom wore the conventional black. Following the ceremony and congratulations, the guests were ushered into the beautifully appointed dining room, which was very artistically decorated in pink and white carnations and ferns. A four-course dinner was served by the Misses Etta Buckingham, May Harmer, Cecil Lee, and Jessie McCrary. Many beautiful presents of china, silverware, linen, etc., were received. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Buckingham, and is an accomplished young lady, who will be greatly missed in the home circle. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Longinaker of Tabor, and is a young man of sterling qualities. They will make their home on the farm of the groom’s father, 4 ½ miles southeast of Tabor, where they will be at home after April 1.
