CHRIS RE|MERS A FREE MAN
HOME FROM CONFINEMENT AT
SIOUX FALLS PRISON..
HE LOOKS WELL AND HAPPY
Although Gaining His Liberty, This
Yue Tide Season is Filled With
Grief, Returning With no Son and
the Anniversary Of Conviction.

'ne anniversary OF CONVICTION.
Chris Reimers, the veteran Pierce
county citizen, who, together with his
son, was imprisoned for term of
five years in the federal penitentary
at Sioux Falls for the wreckng OF
bank at Neigh a number of years
ago, arrived in Norfolk on the Thurs
day morning train, a free man. At
noon he left for his old home at
Pierce. Mr.. Reimers, now about sixty
years of age, had served four years
last March and got off this soon be-
cause of his excellent conduct. He
looked hale and hearty, was as happy
as lark to be free once more on his
native soil, and was glad to get back
among his old friends.
1t was just five years ago this
Christmas eve that Mr. Reimers was
sentenced in Omaha, by the federal
court He and his son, who died about
a year ago. were punished for the
wrecking of bank which the people
of northern Nebraska have always
thought was wrecked by other parties
The Reimers were well and favor
ably known through northern Nebras-
ka. Their friends were, and are to-
day, numbered among the citizens all
over this country. They were not
blamed for the bank misfortune, as
they were always considered honor
able and honest. Duped into starting
a bank with money that they had le-
ultimately made in business enterpris-
es at Pierce, they began at Neigh,
the foreign parties got the money and
skipped to Mexico, while the Reimers,
being officers, were held responsible
for the shortage.
1t is a sad home coming for Chris
Reimers, who had his son as a com
panion for long time. And it is
Christmas time filled with a mingled
happiness and grief-the anniversary
of his sentence and yet the date of
his gaining liberty again.
