WELCOME BIG FALL OF SOOW
FULLY TEN INCHES FELL IN
SHERMAN COUNTY.
Weather Has Continued Mild and Soil
Is in Good Condition for Sow
ing OF FAN CrOIls.

Snow began falling in Sherman
county about midnight Friday and by
o'clock Saturday probably six inches
had fallen An accurate measurement
was impossible because Of the damp
ness OF the snow and its packing and
melting. There was a light breeze
from the southeast. and in spite OF
the storm, many farmers from some
distance from GOodIand were in town
TO trade
The weather continued cloudy, misty
and fOggy Sunday, and Sunday night
about four inches more snow fell.
Monday continued stormy, snow fall
ing gently nearly all day. Although
this depth OF snowfall is uncommon
at this time Of year, the weather has
not been cold, freezing only slightly
at night, and only light winds varying
from east TO north.
This storm, while it has impeded
building, will prove Of incalculable
value TO the country in the benefit to
winter wheat. and the moistening Of
the ground for further sowing OF win
ter grain Stock. OF course, must be
fed and sheltered for brief time, but
the benefit received in the general and
thorough wettfng Of the soil oyer-bal-
ances all other drawbacks There is
no frost in the soil and seeding can
be pushed as soon as the weather
clears OF again.
According to the weather reports,
this storm was quite general over
Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas and Neb-
raska- From the timing Of press re-
ports Of the storm, II began in the
mountain section Of the country and
gradually extended east From Fri
day night TO Monday night a foot of
damp snow must have fallen here.

FOR BIG STORE HOUSE.
Rock Island Plans 90 Keep Large
Supplies I'm Goodland-

Some time since General Store
keeper ROLAND was requested to draw
plans and make estimates for a large
new store house for material for the
Rock Island shops here, and as q dis
tributing point for the Colorado dfyf-
sion He sent the plans and estimates
70 headquarters at Chicago lately.
The projected store house IS drawn on
a plan 40x100 feet and two stories in
height, with a large oil house IN the
rear section Of the building. Mr.. Rol-
land is in charge OF the material and
supply department OF both the Colo
radO and Nebraska division The
large store house here is planned as
distributing point for acquisitions
for the entire territory under the gen
eral stOrekeeeper's supervision. Good
land IS now a distributing point for
local freights, and these shipments to
stations along the line, Of necessity
and required supplies, will be eXpedit-
ed in their shipment because Of the
local freight distributions from this
point, both east and west The work
on the new coal chute has commenced.
A large force Of men are at work
preparing the ground for the struc-
ture- The new chute, the erection Of
which was reported last week, viii be
somewhat larger than the one recent
y constructed at Phillipsburg for the
Rock Island.

IDENTIFY By FINGER DRRINTs
H. +. Coats OF Ohio ReformatOry Says
They Are InfaIlible.

NO two men in the world make the
same finger prints said H z. Coates
OF Mansfield, O., superintendent OF the
Ohio state reformatOry. 20 a Kansas
City World representative.
This fact has been established AZ
ter years Of the most thorough and
careful experiments, and the fact that
Scotland Yards has adopted the
'hnger-print'' system in place Of the
Bertillion system Of measurements
for the Identification Of criminals,
stamps it as thoroughly trustworthy
in every respect
"A Scotland Yards detective named
Terrier worked out the theory. It is
technically known as the Terrier sys-
tenn OF identification. 1t is simplicity
in ftslef, and years OF time have failed
to bring out a single instance OF its
failure Hence, it is assumed that it
is infallible- Physicians who have
made a special study OF the human
hand agree that the system IS a sound
one.
The imprints will show the most
glazing differences. Photographs and
measurements fail. Men can change
their appearance and they can escape
the Bertillion systems many intrica-
cies, but the criminal whose finger
prints have once been taken can never
escape absolute Identification unless
he cuts of his hands.
These lines never change. If the
impression OF your hand was taken
when you were four years old it
would be exactly the same relatively
the rest Of your life The nOdules-
BY nodules I mean the little whorls
Of lines which you can see on your
thumb or fnger-would be in the

You can't change them, either
Your nodules have the IeOpard's spots

ability. It doesn't make any differ
ence what you do, your nOdules viii
be the same Suppose you go out and
work great callous places on your
hands The noduIes do not change,
and could identify you by your finger
print in an instant
And suppose now that a robber
comes to a bank counter at night and
places his hand on the glass or mar
BILE You could get his imprint from
that and when he is caught il will
take only a minutes time to show
that he is the man wanted for the
crime.
To take an impression. a fine pow

trace the outlines to a perfect nicely

Damages, Hell Go After Them

General L ". Colby OF Beatrice.
Neb-. was in Topeka last week in
consultation with the attorney gen
eraL It IS understood that the sub
ject OF reinstating the criminal cases
against Chauucey Dewey. W. h Nc
Bride and Clyde Wilson were under
discussion. General Colby denied the
statement made by Chauncey Dewey
in the Star last week that the Deweys
are out OF court and that all Of their
cases are settled
They lack a great deal Of being out
Of court" said General Colby this
morning 7 have four damage suits
pending in the Sherman county dis
trict court against the Dewey estate,
One Of these is brought by Mrs. Dan
ieI P. Berry for $4,000 damages for
the death Of her husband; another by
Mrs. Alpheus W. Berry for the death
Of her husband, $4,000; and another
is by Mrs H N. Berry, SO, 900 for the
death Of her son, BUrch. The fourth
has been brought by Roy Berry and is
for $1,000 for injuries received when
the other Berrys were killed. Roy's
jaw was shattered and a part OF one
ear shot away.
while the criminal cases against
the Deweys have been dismissed, they
were dismissed without prejudice, and
can be reinstated any time the attOr-
uey general and county attorney want
to start them. There are only 500
voters in Cheyenne county and we
used 400 Of them to get the first jury
in the case. II IS doubtful now Bheth-
er we could get another jury, but the
case can be instituted again at any
time in future years Of the county fills

TWO cars OF each train were thrown
from the track, and the engines were
locked together by the force Of the

who apparently failed to deliver an
order for No II to meet No. II at
Fairfield.
