BURKE IS ACQUITTED MORGAN SWEET SHOP EXPOSED From Thursday's Dally After a period of severSl weeks the Morgan Sweet Shop in the Dwyer building is again exposed to the eye cf the passerby, as the board front that has been in place while the work of installing a new modern front was being carried out, was re moved yesterday afternoon and the change is one most agreeable to the owner and patrons of the sweet Ehop. The new front is a very pleasing addition to the appearance of the shop and while it is not entirely completed the glass has been install ed and permits the light of day to once more penetrate the interior of the building. The upper portion of the front has ornamental glass trimmings and with the large show windows will give the sweet shop a great deal of litrht and the windows wiil be more suited to display purposes than the old windows were. When completed, the new front will be a real addition to the business section of the city and a fitting front to the delightful soft drink parlor and lunch room of Mr. Morgan Thursday's I)ai" Last evening the trial of -the cas3 wherein Walter Burke was charged with having resisted an officer and also with committing a nuisance, re sulted in the acquittal of Mr. Burke by Judge William Weber, before -whom the charge had been filed bv Chief of Police William Hinriehsen. From the statements brought forth at the trial it seems that there had been considerable feeling between the young man and the police, which led to some boasting on his part as to what he would do and when Offi cer Libershal saw him going up the I street with a bottle showing pro truding irom ms pocKct, nurne was stopped and asked about the matter, but refused to give an explanation, and words followed which led to his going to ja:l, where he put up a $15 cash bond. The bottle was found io be empty on a search by the po lice. Burke denied resisting the officers beyond a verbal protest and after a lecture by the court he was allow ed to go on his way and the amount of his cash bond ordered remitted to him by the court.

Henry J. Meisinger, residing near this city, was the victim of an accident that resulted in the loss of a portion of the forefinger of the right hand. The mother of the little boy was working in the house at the time and the first that she knew of the accident was the cries of the child, who had been out in the yard play ing with his two elder brothers. From what could be learned of the accident it seems that the two older boys had been sharpening knives on the grindstone and it is thought that the little lad got his finger caught in the cogs of the grindstone as it was being turned, with the result that the member was badly crushed. The injured boy was brought on to this city and the hand dressed and the patient made as comfort able as possible, although he suffered more or less from the effects of the injury. relatives, as Mrs. Birr and Mrs. Leach are sisters of Mrs. Streight.
