During those years Charlle Lind- bergh hag just turned 20 years. He was at heart a lover adventurer and he headed west to find it. In 1922, after he had tired of giving the towmspeople of Little Falls, Minnesota, airplane rides, he joined Harold J. Lynch, now of ‘Butte, Montana, and the two barn- stormed through the west thrilling the people who gathered at county fairs with the capers they cut in gheir airplanes. Lynch was the senior flier. He had been a flight instructor train- ing army aviators during the war and, for that matter, he still is a well -known aviator in the west. “I knew Lindbergh in those days pure grit than anyone I had ever seen,” said Lynch, telling of their exper- lences. “First he was with us as a me- chanic, then he became a parachute jumper and general aerial dare- devil. “One of his stunts was to walk out on the wing of a plane going 90 miles an hour and siep off into the air with his parachute. That made many a Roman holiday for the folks who went to the country fairs. “Everyone called him “8lim” out ‘the) “He knew how to fly and pretty soon he had a plane of his own and was ready either to be the parachute jumper or to pilot & *stunt’ machine—whatever the peo- ple wanted.” He soon was giving more thrills per hour of flying than any oth fiier could offer. The “falling leaf, the “Immelmann turn” spins, dives | and all of the capers that airmen have invented to make watching crowds gasp with excitement, seem- ed to come easy to Lindbergh. “He simply out-aced all daring and his tricks. Stepping right along! ve [tana, 14 the other aces,” said Lynch, “with his ] | “His particular speciaity was to| lascend to a great height, loop and |turn in-a dizzy series of maneuvers |and then swoop down at terrific speed, until even aviators thought he surely would crash. He would | come closer to earth than any other flier dared, but he always had control of his plane and just about | the moment they were calling for the ambulance to be ready to carry ‘Slim’ away, his plane would stick its nose up and he would soar away | again in a graceful ascent. i “I always wondered when I saw him do that, whether anyone in the crowd had a weak heart. If any- one did, that trick certainly would stop it completel Lindbergh became known not only for his stunt fiying in Mon- Wyoming and Colorado at that time, but for the characteristic he still has, namely that of being on time at all costs. It became & matter of general knowledge that when Lindbergh was scheduled to fly at a county fair or public carni- val, it was certain that Lindbergh would fly. That was not always true of all the aviators who were barn- storming in those days. Many times he would complete his program at one fair, get into his plane and fly, regardless of weather, to the next town for an appearance the follow- ing day, braving storms and most difficult flying conditions, rather than disappoint the public. When the flying season was over Lindbergh went to work in a gar- age in Billings, Montana. As a sideline to his work as a mechanic, {he did parachute drops from time [to time, as a bit of advertising for the garage. Finally Lindbergh tired of Mon- {tana and decided to go bcak to Little Falls. He made his way to [the headwaters of the Missouri {river and there got a canoe and decided he would go home by boat, canoeing down the Missouri to the Mississippi and then up the Missis- sippi to Little Falls. He started out alone, as he has beecn on most of his adventures. All went well until the trip was well underway. Then the boat got caught in an eddy, overturned, sank and left Lind- bergh without means of transporta- tion and barely left him alive. " When Children Cough . PERTUSSIN | & Z ‘I role ADMITS HE'S RIVAL | OF JESSE JAMES Kimes Again Eludes Posse— Plans Three Jobs This Month Pawhuska, Okla., June 7 (A — Matthew Kimes, young bandit chieftain, credited with the ambi- tion to “show up” Jesse James, to- day apparently was a step nearer his goal as posses all but aban- doned hope of finding him in a thick wood near here, into which he disappeared yesterday under heavy fire. Convicted of murder and with rewards totalling thousands of dol- lars offered for him “dead or alive,” Kimes was immediately rec- ognized when he parked his auto- mobile here. Deputy. sheriffs grabbed rifles in the hope of ending his ca- reer, but he drove for a mile with bullets striking his motor car, be- fore he abandoned it to comman- deer another. Uses Man as Shield The machine he chose was driven by Red Carter, a rancher. Using Carter for a shield, officers to withhold their fire until he could eject the rancher from the machine. When the bullets struck too close, the bandit left the car and disappeared in the woods. A three hour search with bloodhounds was unsuccessful and the posses withdrew to points of vantage to resume today. Guards also were maintained on banks here partly because of & Te- from Kimes, including a letter to a newspaper, warning officers to ex pect “three more jobs” in 30 da The letter stated the young bandit a Sunday school teacher.” These reports, coupled with the vecord of the Kimes gang. showing nearly a score of bank robberies in the last vear, caused apprehension and several agencies, including the Oklahoma Bankers' assoclation, an- {nounced more rewards would be posted. | Kimes has played a phantom since he and his brother, |George, were married last August. Their wedding photographa were used to identify them a short time {later when they were captured in a chase following a bank robbery. A deputy sheriff was killed and Matthew was convicted of murder while George was found guilty of manslaughter. No detours! Here’s the one road to real ciga- rette enjoyment . . .

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. Rescued Last November Six members of his gang rescued Matthew from the Sequoyah county | jail in November, last, and since | that time he has been identified as the leader in numerous shootings and holdups. The last pobbery at- tributed to his followers was the robbery of two banks at Beggs, | Okla., his home town. An officer was killed and a woman wounded before the bandits escaped. Men identified as belonging to the Kimes gang have operated in Ar- kansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Mi |souri for several months with un- usual success in escaping in thickly wooded places. They also staged nu- merous holdups in northern Texas, usually under the leadership of a youth brandishing two automatic pistols. The outlaw displayed the two guns when he took Carter's au- | tomobile. As Kimes disappeared in the | rough Osage hill country in timber | and thickets ecovering 150 square miles, officers admitted there was little chance of finding him. Danny Daniels and Howard Landson, sought as members of Kimes' gang, were captured at No- wata, Okla., yesterday after an ex- change of shots in which Daniels was wounded.
