Snake in the well blamed for family illness at Glenwood
A Glenwood family fell mysteriously ill weeks after using well water. Hubbell traced the illness to impurities from a dead four and a half foot bullsnake found in the dug well valve. After switching to a different water source the family improved, and the pump failure was linked to the snake’s body blocking the valve. The episode is described as a cautionary tale about drinking water from wells and the dangers of unseen contamination.

Not Married: Judge Douglas Accused Over Peculiar Plattamouth Matrimony
Friday's Journal reports Judge Douglas presided over a Plattamouth wedding with a quirky twist. The bride asked the price of the ceremony, the judge set five dollars, the bride had three earned from chopping wood, and the groom paid the rest later. The woman later demanded the balance, asked for a loan of a dollar, and returned two-thirds of the funds. She then sought an annulling and for the record to read not married, claiming poor treatment.
