Aged Cobbler
t, Saves Money to -
Pay for Burial

Fulfilled.
Hunrh-bicled, crippled, 80-year
old "Jimmie" O'Kourke, who u
found dead in hit little 'squatter"
hack at Twelfth and California
streets Monday, will have a decent
burial.
Two years ago "Jimmie" tent
word to hit free legal advisor,
George A. Maguey, to come down
And tee hint. When the attorney
ili-d at the one-room cabin the aged
iVan counted out $-'00 in small bills.
"Take this money and put it in
a aafe bank, and when I am gone,
aee that I have a good, burial in a
good casket; and a grave on the
tunny aide of a green hill, with a
bit of a tree, pcrhap. to shade it
ol a hot summer's day, and where
the birds will sing in the cool of the
niornin' and evenin'," said the aged
man.
Mr. Magney put the money in a
savings and loan association bank.
And within the next few days the
aged crippled body will be buried
following a funeral of which James
O'Rourke need not be ashamed.
Where "Jimmie" came from or
what was his history in his youth no
one seems to know. His rich brogue
showed that he came originally from
Ireland, He was living in a ilttle
itclc when Mr. Magney came to
maha, 35 years ago, and seemed to
be an old resident then.
"Jimmie" was the embodiment" of
optimism. His bent back, his crip

I Workmen in the Union Pacific
sTiiopa knew "Jimmie" for their friend.
He earned money by unceasing toil,
but he gave most of it away. Any
man who came to him with a hard
luck story was sure to get a "loan"
and ja cheery word of encouragement
from the bent and aged cobbler.
Usually the "loans" were not paid
back, but "Jimmie" gave just as
trustingly to the next applicant. He
was a shoemaker who specialized in
repairing the heavy work shoes worn
by employes of the railroad shops
and the smelters.'
"Jimmie's" body was the only part
of him that was crippled.

Omaha Air Meet Plane
Taken for Rum Runner
Ship, on Trip to Western Nebraska, Forced Down 3o
Miles From Railroad Ranchers Hospit- -
able After Party Explains
Business.
Stranded in the barren sand hills
of Nebraska by a forced landing of
the Ashmusen Bluebird air plane,
four Ontahans were given hospital
ity by ranchers over Saturday and
Sunday after they convinced the
westerners the ship was not a boot
legging carrier.
The plane, carrying Pilot C L
Bowcn, commander of the Second
Aero squadron during the war; R. C
Tooke of the Omaha Aero club; J.
II. Luce, mechanician, and a report
er for The Bee was enroute back to
Omaha frpm a 400-mile trip to
Hackberry Lake. club, in Cherry
county, hunting rendezvous of
prominent Omaha business men.
' Fly Over Barren Country.
The plan left Omaha last Wed
nesday afternoon and arrived at
Hackberry lake the following noon.
Hopping off from Hackberry club
Saturday on its homeward journey
the Bluebird sped southeast over
barren sand dunes. A stiff wind was
against the ship and the plane rocked
ss the pilot battled wind pockets at
110 miles an hour. Out of sight of a
railroad or other landmarks,- the
plane flew an unchartered course
over hills and more hills. Visibility
from2,000 feet was clear and noth
ing but sand craters and an oc
casional sod house or ranch building
could be seen by the flyers.
Motor Mis-Fires.
"Omaha by tonight," was in the
mind of Pilot Bowen as he "gave
the gun" to the full nine cylinders.
The motor hummed as it followed
a straight southeast course. Soon
the Calamus river was sighted and
Pilot Bowen struck its course. The
country appeared bare. Ranch
houses were IS miles apart.
Suddenly the ship lurched and
tipped slightly.
Putt putt 1 Br-r-r-r-r. Putt putt
It was mis-fire of cylinders. The
ship fell a few feet while the re
porter's heart retained its altitude.
The mis-firing continued.
Natives Gather.
Carefully, the pilot steered the
plane on a circular course downward
as he chose a landing spot in the
valley of the Calamus. The plane
taxied safely over a sandy field not
tar from an abandoned homestead'
er s sod house.
Poor gasoline caused the mis-fire,
Pilot Bowen said.
The flyers looked about for a hay-
stack, fully conscious of their plight.
Soon, ranchers came racing over the
hills in flivvers and on horseback.
They gathered about. Several peered
in the cockpits of the plane.
. Taken for Bootleggers.
"Just down from Canada?" queried
one.
"Thought you fellows were boot
leggers'," said another.
"Yeah, we heard this plane went
north' several days ago after booze,"
spoke a third. r . ' -
It took some lengthy explaining
to convince the ranchers that the
ship was on a business 'assignment
for the Omaha Aero club. The
ranchers said the nearest telephone
was 11 miles away, and the railroad
was 35 miles. Hospitality was
fered for the night, at the H.
Buell ranch. Two of the flyers drove
through the hills to dispatch word
of the forced landing to Omaha.
Communication had to be made by
relay telephone calls. .

The ship will be flown to Omaha
today.
Pilot Bowen made the flight from
Omaha to Hackberry Lake club, a
diktance of nearly 400 miles, in
three hours and Si minutes flying
time.
When the huge bird circled over
the Hunting club the Omaha nim
rods George llrandcis, K. John
Brandeis, T. F. Qtiinlan, J. K. David
son, Nick Klein, Edward Moore, A.
V. Kinsler, James Rait and Charles
Burns gathered below in astonish
ment. Plane Slightly Damaged.
In landing on what appeared to be
a level stretch, one wheel of the
bluebird sank suddenly in the blow
ing sand and the ship swerved
around sharply. The wheel and a
wing strut snapped. None of the
flyers was injured.
Members of Hackberry club said
the Bluebird was the first ship to
land in those sand hilts. Communi
cation to civilization was impossible
except by telephone relays through
Valentine or Wood Lake, Neb.
Real hospitality in the form of
snug beds and duck dinners was of
fered the flyers.

Fremont Couple Awakened to
Find Home Blazing Es
cape Through Window.
Fremont, Neb., Oct. 25.-(Spedal
Telegram.) Occupants of the farm
home of Axel Jeusen, east of Fre
mont, were saved from death yes
terday morning by a year-old baby,
who spread the alarm of fire by his
cries and awakened his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Jamrs Hutchinson, in the
same room. The smoke that filled
the house awoke the infant, who in
turn wirned his parents of approach
ing danger. When they awoke they
found the house burning beneath
them,
The stairway leading to the lower
floor was a mass of flames, which
made it impossible to escape through
that avenue. They called lustily
through the bedroom window for
help and Victor Koyenk, a neighbor,
was attracted to the scene. lie
drove his automobile alongside the
burning house beneath the window.
Mrs. Hutchinson and the baby were
lowered to safety by means of bed
blankets to the top of the car.
Before helo could be summoned
the flames, which started beneath the
kitchen range, were beyond con
trol. The house, owned by Edward
Benton, Fremont, was valued at
$5,000. Little insurance covered
the loss. The furniture and house'
hold possessions were a total loss,
except for the piano and Victrola,
which were salvaged. The Fremont
Are department answered a call, but
was only able to fight the flames
with chemicals.
