DUEL. IN CHICAGO
Robbers and Police Shoot Fatally in a
Row There Last Night.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-In a duel with
two alleged hold-up men and train
robber suspects, whom they attempted
20 arrest today, Policeman Keefe
was shot dead and Policeman Birm-
ingham fatally wounded. Their
opponents were Ollie Feinberg and
a man named Gagens. Gagens' arm
was broken by the dl Il and he was
captured. Feinberg was shot in the
back, but escaped. Later he came
to a hospital and surrendered. The
officers encountered the men at
Gagens' home. Both sides immed-
iately opened fire. The dead po-
iceman was winner of the Carter
He Harrison medal for bravery.
Further investigation shows that
Feinberg received two bullets and
will probably die.

Although the men who receive the

put the Republicans in power, so il
would seem that the Republicans
taxpayer ought to grin and bear it.

Broadway was filled with guests from
home and abroad; the occasion was
the marriage of his daughter, Mabel
Joss Brinkman 10 Arthur E. Taylor
cashier of .he J. V. Brink man Com
pany Bank.
The wedding service was pro-
nounced by Rev. Sutherland, in his
usual impressive way, the bride was
given away by her father, whose
previous experience in that line has
made him perfect. Mrs. Carrie Johntz
Humphrey, of Abilene, kansas acted
as matron of honor, and Miss Alice
Sterl Of the same place, Miss Vera
Jones of Marcellus, Mich, Miss
Eloise Brinkman and Miss Anna
Taylor, of Great Bend, acted as
bridesmaids; the groom managed to
get through his part with the assist
ance of Frank Brinkman as best man,
and Marion Russell, E. r. Moses, Jr.
Will Townsley, and Jack Martin as
ushers.
The ceremony took place in the
parlors, which were tastefully deco
rated with holly and mistletoe, and
delicate southern smilax, white bells
were to be seen everywhere, and the
bridal couple stood beneath large
white bell il an alcove with a back
ground of ferns.
The bride was dressed in an
@oyster-sheH satin gown, white tuiie
veil, and carried in her hands beauti-
full lilies of the valley. The matron
of honor wore an ivory satin gown,
had pink roses in her hair, and carried
maiden hair ferns. The bridesmaids
were dressed in white chiffon. and
they also had pix roses in their hair,
and carried maiden hair ferns.
The groom and his attendants
wore evening dress and looked as
Barton County boys usually do in
that costume.
The rest of the house was decorated
with holly, mistletoe, smilax and white
tulle, and was a scene of such love
illness as is not often met with in
southwestern Kansas or elsewhere
for that matter. The wedding march
was played by Miss Ccnnett.
Among the guests from abroad in
addition to those mentioned above
were Mr.. and Mrs. w. Brinkman and

of Olmitz, Tom Taylor from Kiowa

evening was spent in conversation
and music. J. n. Wells rendered
several beautiful solos, accompanied
by Miss Hoffman.
The refreshments are not to be
forgotten, Mrs. Brinkman and daugh-
tiers always satisfy the most fastidious.
The supper was served in the dining
room by the brides girlhood friends,
Mrs. E. E. Morrison, Mrs. Lester
Cox, Mrs. Don Weltmer, and Misses
Dean, Smith and VoIlmer. The lat
ter was especially fortunate in draw
ing the ring from the brides cake and
also the. boquet, the significance of
which is known to all the girls.
The presents were rare and costly,
and showed what a host of friends
the bridal couple possess. They will
make their home in the Weirauch
house on West Broadway.
