A telegram has been received by friends in this city announcing the death of Rev. Longinus Neu, O.S.P., which occurred Thursday at 11:15 o'clock at Birmingham, Alabama.

Father Longinus was for nearly six years pastor of St. Peter's Catholic Church in this city and did much to build up that church and congregation. He was therefore well known in this city and was also well known throughout this and adjoining states as one of the ablest of the priests of the order of St. Benedict.

The funeral will be held at St. Benedict's Abbey in Atchison, Kansas, next week, but the exact date has not yet been fixed. Father Thomas of this city will accompany the remains.
