Henry opened a small store in the old Cahill Post Office in Rosebud. Henry dealt in eggs, cream, furs, rabbits. The hunting season bought lots of pelts to the store.

In 1928 after lunch Henry Brinkman reopened the Rosebud Bank 1;00 P.M. sharp and one Model T drove up out front and left it idle. A negro remained behind the wheel and two other white fellers got out and entered the bank.They demanded all the money or they would blow his head off. Henry finally gave the sack of money to them.

Henry being level headed guy, didn't take kindly to the thieves and followed their hasty retreat waving his pistol.He hollered he had been robbed and stood on the bank steps, firing his pistol at the car. As the car passed George Robinson's tavern, where the Smitty's Tavern was, a sign above the door shattered into pieces from Henry's misplaced rounds and the robbers continued down Springfield Rd , now known as Hwy 50.

During the course of all this commotion Henry Linenbroker, Leonard Vandergriff and the town marshal, Ed Beuke had jumped into Henry Linenbroker's new 1928 6 cyl. Jewett car.
Finally after arriving in Beaufort, MO having followed the robbers trail of dust, Henry Linenbroker was ready to give up. They passed a filling station in town and Leonard happened to glance back twice. He saw them at the gas station.

Henry, Leonard and Ed continued to drive until Jeffriesburg where they parked to wait behind a farm building. When the get away car rounded the curve, the city marshal, Ed Beuke, fired several shots into the car's radiator. The robbers went on for a mile or two and the car overheated and was ditched. They were rounded up later and somewhat dismayed at Rosebud's quick response.
