Harold Brunner, Shot By
Jealous Lover, Died Satur-
day -- Girl Not Expected
To Live
----------
Harold E. Brunner, the St. Paul young man who was shot in the right side by Everett Gribble, the disappointed sweetheart of Miss Sadie Nippert, of Addyston, O., died at the Cincinnati general hospital, Saturday evening, as the result of the wounds received. Miss Nippert, who was with Brunner late Thursday evening when the shooting occurred, remains in a critical condition at her home in Addyston, O., from the two wounds which she received, and little hope is held for her recovery. The shooting occurred from ambush as the couple were returning from a picture show at Addyston, Gribble later confessing the crime. The slayer is now held in jail and a charge of first degree murder has been placed against him.Monday, August 26, 1918

Harold Brunner, Shot By
Jealous Lover, Died Satur-
day -- Girl Not Expected
To Live
----------
Young Brunner was seventeen years, four months and nineteen days of age and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Brunner, of St. Paul. He had been employed at the I. & C. traction station in this city and left but a few weeks ago to live with his cousin and her husband, at Addyston, in order to study railway telegraphy. It is said that Thursday evening was the first time young Brunner had ever been with the Nippert girl, but first reports stated that the couple were to be married.
The parents, a brother, Arthur, in the navy; two sisters, Mrs. Roy Moore, of Delhi, O., and Mrs. Frank Fagel, of Liberty township, are the near relatives surviving the deceased.
The remains were brought to St. Paul and arrived there Sunday evening at 5:15 o'clock and were taken to his home three-quarters of a mile west of St. Paul. Mr. and Mrs. Brunner are prostrated with grief, the shock of the tragedy being terrible. The young man was a specimen of wonderful health and had a most wonderful prospect ahead of him. The funeral services will be held at the late home Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, the Rev. Woods, of the St. Paul Christian Church, officiating, and burial will be made in Forest Hill cemetery here in charge of Stewart & Fix, undertakers.
