Miss MEANS of this vicinity is visiting relatives at Kentland, Indiana. She
lived at that place before coming to this county.

She had been here for a short time visiting her brother, John L. SULLIVAN.

John DRUMMY has opened a restaurant and confectionery store in the building
north of E.J. SCOTT's. He invites the patronage of the public. The Democrat

SHERMAN is now living at Sioux Falls.

Saved From the Pen by a Shadow
When C.J. McNALLY was at Omaha Frank ERDMAN was arrested for placing an
infernal machine on the porch of Tom DENISON at 2:50 one afternoon. Two
young ladies swore positively that they saw him carrying the machine twenty
minutes before. Three other witnesses corroborated their testimony. All
EARDMAN could do was deny guilt. The pastor of the church in which the two
girls were confirmed on the date the machine was found had induced them to
stand with the other members and have their picture taken. The date was
written on the picture- May 22, 1910. ERDMAN's lawyer procured the picture
and showed it to Rev. Wm. RIGGS, the Creighton university astronomer. A
shadow of the steeple showed clearly on the picture. Father RIGGS proved to
the court scientifically by the location of the shadow that the picture was
taken at 3:21 afternoon, May 22, 1910. ERDMAN was acquitted. He did not
belong to the same religious faith as Father RIGGS.
