A Lewd Lot.
Mrs. Dan Bickel, arrested for adultery, couldn't raise the $100 bail required, and so languished in jail. Clem Edinger, charged with fornication with Mrs. Bickel's niece, also boards with sheriff O'Oeil [sic] because he couldn't give the bail demanded by Justice Becker. Since Beckel [sic] and his wife parted, because of the woman's preference for Zack Edinger, a brother of Clem, she and Zack have been living together, Zack's wife having left him. Mrs. Bickel kept her children with those of Zack, and it was to get possession of the little ones that Bickel induced the township trustees to have the guilty pair arrested. In the same house with Zack and Mrs. Bickel lived her neice [sic]. Clem is charged with acting as a husband to her without the legal formalities.
[Note: Today such an article would never appear in the newspaper nor would anyone be arrested for such "normal" behavior. This article though does reflect the times and also helps the genealogist sort how everyone is related.]
