FISHING MATE SELECTED CAUSE OF HER TROUBLES

Kansas Girle Angles With Lincoln Boy Who Has No Legal Right to Fish and Who Has Stolen Car

Pretty Anna Fencil of Morrowville, Kas., discovered much to her sorrow that Conrad DeBus of Lincoln is a poor fisherman. He took her out to snare a mess of fish without telling her that he had neglected to arm himself with a fishing license. Nor did he confide in her that the 1920 Velie car in which they went fishing was stolen by him in Lincoln on April 18.

Conrad wanted Anna to think nice things of him. He did not tell her that the pressing creditors forced him of steal. That’s what he later told the officers. DeBus was arrested while fishing near Morrowville.

DeBus was brought to Lincoln by a representative of the state sheriff’s office Special Officer Schneible. Miss Fencil volunteered to join the party and gave such assistance as possible. She carried out her promise and
to return to her home.

According to his own admission, Conrad not only traveled about in a stolen car but passed a bad check for $26.80 in Grand Island. His creditors, he says, forced him to steal and the force the bad check. How could he know that the casings would blow out or that he would lose the gas tank.

[The article goes on much longer explaining where and why DeBus stole the car and his subsequent crimes.]

Young Man, Recently Divorced, Admits Stealing Car Belonging to Lincoln Man

Conrad Debus, twenty-one years old, was sentenced to serve from one to ten years in the state reformatory Tuesday afternoon after he had pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing the auto of Chris Economedes, April 18, 1922. Young Debus was divorced recently from Rachel Debus, who testified that her husband had apparently lost affection for her, and testified that he had told her he did not want to live longer with her. Debus first filed for divorce but the wife won on a cross petition when the plaintiff did not appear for trial.

Debus took the auto he stole to Kansas and was arrested there in company with a young woman while on a fishing trip. He said he had been thrown out of employment, and that a tailor had threatened to take away a new suit of clothes unless a payment was made. In the face of this, he said, there was nothing to do but skip the country.

7335. “Obituary,” Martha Ellen Rhynalds.
Martha E. Rhynalds passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on August 23, 2019. She was born in Tobias, Nebraska on May 25, 1921 to her parents William and Sarah Elizabeth Davies. A beloved wife, mother, grandma and great-grandma who has always been our guardian angel.

Martha devoted her life to her family and loved ones. She had a profound influence on those whose lives she graced with her presence. She exuded elegance, grace, beauty, charm, and love. Martha was blessed with two loving husbands; “her Pauls” Paul B. Rush and Paul S. Rhynalds. Their love was pure joy and devotion and both Paul’s treated her like the queen she is. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren as they brought her so much joy and she loved every moment she spent with them.

She always made sure that anyone who came to visit never left hungry or without a little something. Martha was strong, independent with a kind heart, loving and loyal beyond words. No one could ever tell her NO! She was blessed with a beautiful family and instilled in them to have a strong self-worth, to be devoted to family, to be loyal, but most of all, be respectful to others yet independent and caring. She left her family with many beautiful memories that will carry on for generations.

Martha is preceded in death by her parents, all eight of her siblings, and her husbands, Paul B. Rush and Paul S. Rhynalds, as well as her son, Paul D. Rush. She lovingly leaves her legacy to her only daughter, Martha Ann Beecher; two granddaughters, Lori Patrice Beecher and Elisabeth Ann Lennier; great-grandchildren, Zachary Gage Hughes, Mackenzee Lane Anderson and Cayden Allen Lennier. She will be missed by a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends.

The family would like to give many thanks to Hospice of Central Arkansas who went above and beyond in her care. Also, very special thanks for the wonderful, loving, and compassionate care she was given by Evelin Tobar, Tynisha Hudson, and Dana Gardner.

A Celebration of life will be held at 2:00 pm on Thursday at Caruth Village Funeral Home in Hot Springs Village. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Hospice of Central Arkansas.
