February is generally known as the Month for Lovers. Just imagine when things go haywire. In the March 1935 issue of the national Scottish Rite magazine, Mac Henry Hill, a bank clerk of Smith Center, who belonged to the Scottish Rite in Topeka, announced that he had his ring stolen in a bank holdup on Feb. 1, 1935. He described the ring as being of the double-headed eagle type, size 6 and 1/2, containing a diamond weighing 1.62 carats.
