Reunion After
a Separation
Ray Denham of Cedar Creek Finds
Father Thought Dead for Long
Period of Years.
From Monday's Daily
Ray Denham. Burlington agent at
Cedar Creek, and well known in this
city is playing a part in a story
that reads like a page of some work
of fiction and in which family ties
broken years ago have been united
and a very happy time is anticipated
by the members of the family cir
cle who have for years considered
each other lost or dead.
Some two months ago Mrs. F. S.
Fry, 2012 West Broadway, Council
Bluffs, aunt of Mr. Denham, was
re-united with her son, Pearl Gilbert,
whom she had not seen for a period
of 37 years and who had thought
in all of these years that the mother
was dead. When Pearl Gilbert was
three years old the father and mother
separated and the baby boy was later
kidnapped by the father and taken
away, when he was old enough to
understand he was told that the
mother was dead but all through
his life there lingered the memory
of the mother and he finally began
to doubt the story that had been f

started the search that led to the j appointment to the local fans in that
finding of the mother in Council ' our fast quintet was assigned to class
Bluffs. Pearl Gilbert is now forty
years of age, married and has two
children and when he came from
hte home at St. Paul. Minnesota, to
Council Bluffs the family reunion
was a most pleasant one.
The happy reuniting of the mother
and son gave Mr. Denham an in
spiration to seek to find his father
who he had not seen from his baby
hood and whom the family had led
to believe had been killed years ago
in an accident in South Omaha.
The family ties had been broken
and the father and mother separated
with Ray then a child of three be-
ing taken by the mother. A short ,
time later a friend brought word j
that an unknown man had been
kUled fn a railroad accident at'
South Omaha and which was sup-j
posed to have been Mr. Denham.

The date set for the Plattsmouth
Rev. H. Kottich
Ends Life Early
Last Saturday
Tragedy Occurs at Home Near Falls
City After Long Illness Due
to Nervous Breakdown.
From Monday's Dally
The. news received here late Sat
urday evening of the death of Rev
Hans Kottich. age 30, former pastor
of the St. Paul's Evangelical church
of this city, came as a very great
shock to the many hundred of friends
of the estimable young pastor, and
especially in the manner in which the
tragic death had occurred.
I " Rev. Kottich. who since his illness
of more than a year ago, has been
staying at the home of his father,
Rev. W. Kottich, a retired minister
of the Evangelical church, eleven
miles northeast of Falls City. The
form of the illness of Rev. Kottich
was that of a nervous breakdown
from which he had never fully re
covered, although he was much bet
ter in the last few months and it was
hoped that he would be able to se
cure a permanent relief from his long
standing ailment.
The young pastor had been very
despondent of late as to his health
and his enforced rest weighed heav
ily on him as he was of a very active
and nervous type and this despond
ency was the cause or the tragic
event that ended his life Saturday.
Rev. Kottich arose early Saturday
morning and as was his custom an
nounced that he was going for a
walk, he having been in the habit of
these long walks each day for his
health. When the young man did
not re-appear at breakfast time, the
members of the family started to in
vestigate and were shocked in a few
moments by finding the body of the
young man swinging from the rafters
in the large granary on the farm.
It seems that the former pastor in
one of his spells of despondency had
climbed to one of the rafters in the
granary, attached a rope to the raft
er and placing the other end of the
rope around his neck had made the
jump that ended his life so suddenly.
During his service here as pastor
of the St. Paul's church. Rev. Kot
tich was one of the popular and well
known residents of the community
and his pleasant greeting and genial
and attractive personality made him
well liked among a very large circle
outside of his church congregation,
and he was especially esteemed by his
associate ministers of the city. His
death comes as a real personal loss to
those who had the privilege of know
ing him and in his death the family
will have the deep sympathy of the
host of friends in this community who
too had known and loved this splen
did young man.
From Tuesday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon at the com
munity church eleven miles north
west of Falls City was held the fun
eral services of the late Hans
Kottich, whose untimely death on
Saturday came as such a crushing
blow to his family and the many
friends at the old home and here
in Plattsmouth where L: served so
acceptably as the pastor of the St.
Paul's Evangical church.
From the St. Paul's church here
there were a number of the repre
sentatives of the church and the vari
ous societies present. Rev. O. G.
Wichmann. present pastor of the
church, John Albert and Mike Hild
of the official church board and Mrs.
George Klinger and Miss Emma Hirz
of the church societies attending the
services. The local also with the
societies and Sunday school sent
many beautiful flowers as tributes
to the memory of their kind friend
and pastor.
The funeral services were con
ducted by the Rev. H. Kochheim of
Falls City at the Kottich home and
the body was laid to rest in the
beautiful burial ground near the
Boughmann church of which Rev.
W. Kottich, father of the deceased
young man is the rector.
The attendance at the funeral
was very large and the expressions
of love and esteem numerous and
beautiful.

MISSOURI RIVER RAISING
From Tuesday's Dally
The Big Muddy yesterday took a
sudden raise and in the space of a few
hours had shown a very noticeable
raise, the water coming very sudden
ly and evidently from the releasing of
some laree body of water that had
been held up by ice gorges. William
Grebe, the dean of the Missouri river
fishermen, states that the river had
been quite loy up to yesterday when
the sudden change came and with
the increasing volume of wate came
a large amount of floating ice that
moved out rapidly in the mild weather
conditions. Mr. Grebe is of the opin
ion that the raise in the river will
bring in its wake a great deal bet
ter fishing and will permit them
making some record catches such as
they had last fall at this point.

County Clerk,
George Sayles,
Makes Filing
Present County Official Will Again
Place Name Before the Voters
For Consideration.
From Wednesday's Daily
While things in general at the
court house were decidedly dull to
day the political entries continued
to come trickling in and assuring the
voters that, they would have plenty
of candidates for their consideration
at the coming primary election on
August 10th.
The latest of these filings was that
of County Clerk George R. Sayles,
who paid over to County Treasurer
Miss Mia U. Gering the sum neces
sary to permit his placing his name
on the ballot for the consideration of
the republican voters at the coming
primary election.
The present county clerk has filled
that office for the past eight years,
having first been elected in 1918 and
later re-elected in 1922 for his sec
ond term to the office.
Mr. Sayles has been a lifetime resi
dent of Cass county and was for
many years a resident of Cedar Creek
where he had grown to manhood and
engaged in school work there as well
as later being in the grain business
at that place. On coming to Platts
mouth to reside Mr. Sayles continued
his work as grain dealer and in the
insurance business until he was elect
ed as city clerk in 1918 and held this
position until in the fall of that j-ear
when he was elected to the county
office that he has since held. George
has a very large acquaintance over
the length and breadth of the county
and has made many friends by his
pleasant personality who will be
pleased to learn that he is to again be
in the race for the office that he has
held in the past eight years.
With the filing of Mr. Sayles for
this office the lists on both tickets
are now ready for the consideration
of the voters as Harrison L. Gayer of
Murray also filed for the clerkship
yesterday on the democratic ticket
and with Mr. Sayles looks good to be
the entries at the November election
when the voters wil pass on the merits
of these two pleasant gentlemen.

Carl Hiskey of Eldorado, Kansas,
Captured by Sheriff Stewart
With Small Hooch.
From Wednesday's Dally
A few days ago Carl Hiskey, aged
IS years, stari.td from his home .it
L'dorado, Kaitas, vrt the motor
cycle route for the j-ieat city f
Omaha, to the north where oppor
ti.'iUy seem -d to betk-.n il3 iiemt
and offer a greater chance in life
that could be found in the oil city
of the southwest.
All went well as the put-put of
the motorcycle hurled him on his
way to the fair land of Nebraska,
but alas. Carl tarried in the great
metropolis of western Missouri, Kan
sas City, where it is said the women
are fair and the whiskey almost fo.
While there Carl conceived the idea
that as he journeyed onward to
Omaha he might "live by the way"
as Thomas More has expressed it,
and in order to make the living easier
he decided to carry with him a cargo
of the liquid that Volstead has made
a household work, the powerful
spirit of 188 hitched to a small
quanity of water. The first part of
the journey was very pleasant as the
young man came through the villages
and cities where the thirsty were
gazing for some green oasis and
where his beverage brought as great
relief as the rain to the Ancient
Martner, and by his judicial sales he
made the journey pleasant as well
as profitable. As he came farther
nor th the supply deminished in the
demand of the arid Nebraskans and
the amount seemed hardly more
thin would last until the great city
of Nebraska was reached.
He had lain behind him the miles
of territory until reaching Platts
mouth, that classic city nestling
among the seven hills ana wnero
even tbe color or smell of liquor has
long been forgotten save by the old
est Inhabitants who can recall thit
once on a time there was something
of that nature known in these parts.
Here fate that had been hovering
along his pathway overtook him In
the person of Sheriff E. P. Stewart
who descended upon the young man
as he was resting at the Missouri
Pacific station and the end of the
story brought to the trip from the
oil fields of Kansas. The young man
as well as his puddle jumper was
brought to the county Jail and the
scene laid for the last act.
This morning complaint was filed
against the young man charging him
with the possession of three pints
of the forbidden beverage and in
keeping with the law in the case
County Judge A. H. Duxbury Impos
ed a fine of $100 and sixty days in
the county bastile on the young man.
Being without the means of paying
the fine he will also rest this out
in the county jail as the guest of
Sheriff Stewart.
