Nov. 2, 1906. "FROM SHENANDOAH IN FIFTY-FIVE MINUTES". -- Ben M. Snyder of Shenandoah brought Dr. Putman to Sidney yesterday in an auto making the trip by the way of Farragut in just fifty-five minutes. He called in to chat with the Herald folks and in speaking of his trip said he intended making a record run to Sidney when the roads were in good shape. Mr. Snyder is an automoble dealer in Shenandoah and has a good business. He is a very pleasant man to meet. N.B.: The pair would have been traveling on the South Tier, since they passed by Farragut. For a long time there was a bridge over the East Nishnabotna about two miles northwest of Farragut over which autos could pass. The Waubonsie Trail had not been established yet by 1906. --W.F.
