From the Topeka State Journal, Sept. 14, 1914: "Abilene Preacher Egged: Saloon Rowdies at Breckenridge, Minn., Insult Kansas Minister on Street": "While Rev. F.H. Nicholson of Abilene, a preacher of the Plymouth Brethren denomination, was speaking in the street here, eggs were hurled at him from a saloon in front of which he was standing. A crowd of more than a hundred present at the time, was not slow in showing that their sympathies were with the speaker rather than the rowdies. Rev. Nicholson has been preaching for about fourteen years and is well known in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa."
