NEWSPAPER ARTICLE - The Emporia Gazette, Friday evening, June 24, 1904, Volume 14, No. 251

AN AMERICUS RAID
Sheriff Newlin Seized a Big Lot of Liquor At the Store of G. W. Brines Last Night
WAGON LOAD OF WET GOODS
BRINES MUST ANSWER TO THREE COUNTS
Mr. Brines Has a Government Permit to Sell Liquor, Which was Issued to His Wife - They Claim They Sold Barley Mead and That It Is Not Intoxicating.
For some time Americus temperance people have been complaining to County Attorney McCarty about an alleged "wide-open" joint run in Americus by G. H. Brines. Last night Sheriff Newlin armed with a search and seizure warrant issued by the district court of Lyon county, went to Americus and raided Brines's joint. He got the biggest haul ever made by a joint raid in Lyon county. He brought back with him some 2200 pounds of wet goods. Sheriff Newlin started to Americus last night about 10 o'clock accompanied by a Mr. Brown, of Manhattan, a detective employed by the State Temperance Union who has much evidence against Brines. The sheriff slipped into town, made the raid and was out again and only half-a-dozen people knew what had been done. He got back with the goods about 3 o'clock this morning.
Mr. Newlin found no one in the building when he got there, but after waiting for a few minutes Mr. Brines came in. When the sheriff made known his mission, Brines did not grow excited but said he was willing to show the officer everything he had on the place. He first said all he had was in the front part where the bar was, but Mr. Newlin preferred to investigate. In a shed behind the store he found a number of barrels full of bottled liquor; in a bed-room three more barrels of bottled liquor were stored. Both Mr. and Mrs. Brines objected to the officers entering the bed-room as a man was asleep in it, but Mr. Newlin got curious. Mrs. Brines did some crafty work in trying to hide one of the barrels of beer. She spread her skirts around the barrel but the sheriff discovered the goods. Mrs. Brines then said that the beer was her medicine and that Dr. Wright of Americus, prescribed it for herself and daughter. Then another barrel of bottled beer was found, and Sheriff Newlin asked if she intended to drink the two barrels of bottled beer for medicine.
The stock consisted of nine barrels filled with bottled liquor of which seven were "barley mead" and two were "export beer." It was more of a load than the sheriff contemplated, so he hired a team and wagon to bring the liquor to town.
Sheriff Newlin procured as further evidence a United States permit to sell liquor, which was in Brines's possession. The permit, however, was granted to Mrs. E. O. Brines, the wife of G. H. Brines and was good till June, 1904. The government license is proof that the owner of the license is in the liquor selling business, which is against the law in Kansas. The license was issued by a United States district revenue collector at Leavenworth.
Mr. Brines has been in the Lyon county criminal court twice before in the past year. He runs a confectionary store in Americus. He came down this morning and expects to get bond to keep himself out of jail.
The charge against Brines is three counts, two for selling intoxicating liquor and one for maintaining a nuisance. The fine on each count is not more than $100, and ninety days in jail. Brines's defense will be that the barley mead he sold is not intoxicating and he will make a hard fight. The county will have some of the "malt" sent to a competent chemist and analyzed to see whether or not it is intoxicating.
The Americus people have retained W. A. Randolph to assist the prosecution.

OBITUARY - Kansas City Star, Saturday, October 5, 1918, Page 5

DEATHS IN KANSAS CITY.
Brines - George H. Brines, 317 Penn Street, a janitor at the Roscoe apartments, died yesterday afternoon at the General Hospital, following an operation. He was born in Schuyler County, Illinois, sixty-one years ago. He had lived in Kansas City five years. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Bertha Brines, a daughter, Miss Helen Brines, Joplin, Mo., and two brothers, Harry Brines, Seattle, and Carl Brines, Denver.

NOTE:
Bertha Brines was the informant on George's death certificate. She was George's second wife, Bertha Ann (Salsman) Goff-Brines. The death certificate says that George will be buried in Columbus, Kansas. Bertha is buried in Park Cemetery, Columbus, Cherokee Co., Kansas. It is my guess that this is where Bertha intended that George be buried when she provided the information on his death certificate. Find-A-Grave has a memorial that says that George is buried in Attica Cemetery where Iola is buried. This memorial does not have a picture of his stone. This all makes me wonder where George is really buried.

Ola May Brines-Clark was born on 25 May 1906 in Attica, Harper Co., Kansas.^1,2 She and George Carl Rokobrant were married on 23 July 1924 in Shelby Co., Indiana.⁴ She and Horace Ivan Stauffer were married on 3 January 1930 in Los Angeles Co., California.⁵

Ola May Brines-Clark had reference number 52332. She was enumerated on the census in Travis County, Texas (1910); Harris County, Texas (1920.) Jonathan Brines says that Ola was adopted by her aunt, Ella Nora (Munson) Clark. This seems correct. Ola is shown living with William and Nora in the 1910 Census for Travis County, Texas. In the 1920 Census she is shown living with William in Harris County, Texas. It is thought that she moved to Los Angeles, California and was living there in 1928. Her son, Carl Clark Rokobrant, is show living as a border (age 4 1/2 years) in the 1930 Census for Alhambra, Los Angeles County, California. Ola is not shown in that census record.

Born 13 March 1891 in Ellis County, Kansas he was the oldest of three [should be four] to George H. Brines (1855-1918) and Iola E. Munson (1863-1907). He grew up on a small Kansas farm his parents owned. By the age of 20 he moved to Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington where he worked as a Brakeman on the railroad. His job was to assist the braking of a train by applying brakes on individual wagons. In 1914 his rail crew, him and two other employees, faced manslaughter charges for allegedly throwing a hobo off the moving train. He apparently was acquitted and returned to work.
At age 25, on 23 May 1916 he married Pearl Viola Horn in Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington. That same year they moved to Seattle where he became a railroad conductor there. They lived just blocks away from the tracks on 22nd Ave West in Seattle in the 1920's.

By 1924 he shows up as a laborer in Los Angeles living at 218 W Linda Vista Ave in Alhambra, California.
During World War II Harry lived at 150 Haight St in San Francisco and worked for Marine Dell Milk Company on Howard Street delivering milk. He was able to join the Milk Drivers Union (Local 226).

Shot Stray Mules.
Sheriff Ryan was in the north-west part of the county Tuesday and Wednesday with a warrant for the arrest of Carl Brines, an eighteen-year-old boy, who had been working on a farm near Attica, on the charge of shooting two young mules Sunday evening.
Brines had been hunting with a companion Sunday it is said, and was returning home when they drove by the mules in the highway. Something frightened the mules and they ran past the buggy again. Brines shot towards them to make them run faster and then repeated it, using all four cartridges. The mules are alive, but their value depends upon how much permanent injury they suffer. As soon as the warrant was issued Brines' friends took him out of the county; surrounding towns are notified and it is probable his arrest will soon follow. He came here last summer from Joplin, Mo.

BANDIT SUSPECTS IN STOLEN AUTO CAUGHT BY POLICE
Officer Hamilton Surprises Trio and Forces Them to Drive to Station
BURGLAR TOOLS FOUND
Boys Believed Ready to Start on Motor Holdup Trip When Arrested.
The plans of three would-be auto bandits, two of whom are ex-convicts, according to the police, were frustrated early yesterday morning when Patrolman Hamilton arrested them at California street and Speer boulevard while they were filling the radiator of a stolen automobile from a watering trough, preparatory, it is alleged, to starting out on a hunt for plunder.
Hamilton sneaked upon them unawares, drew his revolver and forced them to drive to police headquarters, where they were locked up on a charge of grand larceny. Two of them carried loaded revolvers and a search of the automobile revealed an electric flashlight and a "Jimmy."
At the jail the prisoners each 20 years of age, gave their names as Frank Butch, Carl Sterling and Harry Roberts. Later the police discovered, they assert, that Butch's real name is Dietrich and that Sterling's proper name is Jewell. Both, the police say, have served time at the Buena Vista reformatory. Roberts has never been in trouble before, as far as the authorities have been able to ascertain.
The machine with which they were caught is the property of W. J. Walters, 1440 Cook street. It was stolen from Seventeenth avenue and Gaylord street at 11 o'clock Saturday night, while Walters was visiting at the home of friends.
They admitted stealing the machine, but insisted they had taken it merely for a "joy ride" and that they had no intention of committing any criminal act. They could not, however, give a satisfactory explanation for the burglar's tool found in the car or of their reason for carrying revolvers.

$18,000 WORTH OF DRUGS SIEZED
(Universal Service)
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4 - Four men and a woman were arrested here today by the police narcotic squad, who seized $18,000 worth of cocaine and morphine, two automobiles and a rifle. Capt. Littlejohn said that the capture of the quintet broke up a "million dollar" dope peddling ring operating in southern California.
Those arrested were Mary Patterson, Carl Brines and Shelby E. Murdock of Los Angeles, and William C. Melvor and Fred Ward of Seattle. Melvor is said to be a prominent politician of the northern Pacific coast city. Murdock confessed to police. They said that he had served time for robbery in an Oregon Penitentiary.

BASIC FACTS

Helen Brines was born in 1900 in Wisconsin.¹

Helen Brines had reference number 52337. She was enumerated on the census in Lyon County, Kansas (1905)l Hancock County, Illinois (1910.) She resided in Joplin, Jasper Co., Missouri (1918.)² In 1910, Helen was living with her paternal grandparents in Hancock County, Illinois.
The obituary for George Henry Brines says that daughter Helen Brines lived in Joplin, Missouri. After the death of her father, Helen's step-mother, Bertha Ann Brines, moved to Joplin. Her daughter and son-in-law lived in Joplin. Bertha died there in 1922. So far I have found no corroborating evidence that Helen ever lived in Joplin. I wonder if George's obituary was correct on this point.
