Hold-Up Men
are Captured at
Omaha Sunday
Men Who Held Up Ford Garage Here
and Platte River Toll Bridge
Confess to Dozen "Jobs"
From Monday's Daily
Sunday afternoon members of the
detective bureau of the Omaha police
department raptured three men sus
pected of hold-ups in various parts of
that city, and who have also proven
to be the men who were wanted here
in connection with the recent hold-up
and robbery of the Plattsmouth Mot
or company's garage, where some $55
was secured from the register, and
also for sticking up Prank Elliott,
toll keeper at the Platte river toll
bridge, and relieving him of $75.
The Omaha police department has
had its dragnet out for the men who
have carried out a recent series of
holdups in that city and yesterday
placed the three men, who are well
known police characters, under ar
rest. The men when booked at the
police station, gave the names of
Merton C. Ahle, Gabe Graham and
Lysle Richards.
The men confessed to having com
mitted some ten or twelve hold up
jobs in Omaha in the last few weeks
and also that they had been the
parties who "stuck up" James Rishel,
the night man at the garage of the
Plattsmouth Motor company, in this
city, as well as the fact that they had
robbed the toll keeper at the K. of
T. bridge over the Platte river north
of this city. !
In their message to Sheriff E. P.
Stewart, it was stated that as the
men had committed the larger num
ber of offenses in Omaha, they would
be arraigned there and tried on
these charges rather than be turn
ed over to the Cass county authori
ties for the Plattsmouth hold-ups.
The capture of the men gives a
great deal of satisfaction to the local
authorities who have been very much
interested in the capture and pun
ishment of the men who pulled off
the two robberies at this place.

short time at Miami and other points
on the east coast, where the destruc
tion of the storm was the greatest.
They have a nepliew at Hollywood-by-th-Sea,
which has been practical

The destruction there was terrible

almost impossible to realize that this

great groves of palm trees are all
blown down and destroyed, large
ships that were in the harbor at
Miami have been washed up onto the
shore, some of these several blocks
from the sea. Large buildings that
were formerly the beauty spots of
that section have been twisted and
partially destroyed and impractical
for use in their present shape and
it will be months before the wreck

restored to some sembelance of their

The Womanless
Wedding Proves
a laughing Hit
Cast Composed of Well Known Men
cf Community Greeted by a i
Packed Theatre.
From Tuesday s Dally
"There is going to bo a wedding
here" was the announcement made
last evening at the Parmele theatre
by the dignified English butler, all
set ror the tormal ceremony and who
introduced the various guests at the
wedding to the delighted audience.
The wedding was different 'from the
usaul flurish of gowns, flowers, mus
ic, song and a few tears, in that the
ceremony was entirely womanless, the
various roles being carried out by
the best known men of the community
and should the occasion over arise
when a groom is deserted at the altar
he can call on any of the cast to sub
stitute and they will be able to get
away with it.
"The Womanless Wedding" as the
title ci me meio-urania as entitiea,
was presented under the direction of
Mie Helen Mack of the Sympson
Levie Production company and was
sposored by Chapter F.', P. E. O. of
this citv.
The Parmele theatre was packed to .in the work a number of copies of
the doors by a delighted audience to'the Daily Journal of 1SS3 as well
witness the premier of the sketch ands of the Nebraska Herald, then pub
from the first curtain until the close 'lished here were unearthed and these
there was a continuous
laughter as the various
ripple of j
characters,
appeared en the scene of action and
did their "stuff."
The cast was large, there being
seventy in the ensemble and mention
of all of these would be out of ques
tion but sufficient to say that there
were many very attractive "ladies"
in the cast and in fact several had to
have protection on leaving the theatre
from the sidewalk Arabs who sought
to escort them home even in the
snow
Everybody was there, the leaves of ;
"Who's Who" having been carefully i
scanned to secure the cast and from

were all in attendance. The atmos
phere of the family wedding was
borne out in the presence of the
grandparents, the visiting aunts and
uncles, the old maid aunt whose hopes
were still fluttering as well as the
naughty children, the bridesmaids,
groomsmen and wedding attendants
were all on hand. That it was no
common old wedding was evinced by
the fact that "Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge,"
"General Pershing," "General Haig,"
of Scotch fame, "John D. and Mrs!

even "Mary Garden," "Galli Curci."
and "Irving Berlin" were in the wed -

denly and without warning. Mrs.
Rainey had been down in the busi
ness section of the city shopping Sat

usual health altho she had complain
ed some of a headache but nothing
was thought of the matter as it had
not given her any trouble and her
serious condition was not realized.
She had not been complaining Sun
day and the other members of the
family had gone on their usual ac
tivities, only to return to find the
mother passed on.
The deceased lady was fifty-nine
years of age having been born near
Bedford, Taylor county, Iowa. Her
maiden name was Margaret Ann
Matthews and while a young girl
she came to Cass county and has
lived here for the past forty years
and was married in this county to
Sherman Rainey. Mr. Rainey parsed
away five years ago at the family
home in Rock Bluffs and since that
time Mrs. Rainey has largely made
her home in this city where her
children are located.
To mourn the passing of this good
woman remains six children. Harry
L. Rainey, Forest Rainey. Jack
Rainey. Mrs. Edna Smith, Mrs. Bes
sie Puis and John Rainey. all of
whom reside In this city and vicin
ity. Two 6isters, Mrs. John Wiles
and Mrs. J. E. Delihay also remain
to share the loss that her going has
occasioned.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon at 2.30 from the First
Christian church and the funeral
service was conducted by Rev. W. A.
Taylor of Omaha, an old friend of the
