THAT RUBBER ROBE.
4 BIG LIE AND A CONTEMPTI-
BILE SMALLNESS ABOUT
THE NIXON PART
OF IT.

When the horrible condition of Mrs
Red, in her dying moments, at the In.
frmary was discovered by couple o.
ladies of Logan, DIR. Wright, the attend.
ing Physician, was called on, and or
his advice and suggestion one of the
ladies went to Mr.. Harrington and al
her own expense bought Rubber Robe
for the sick woman's bed. The robe
was given to DR.. Wright. who in com.
pany with Rev. Burns, visited the In
firmsry the next day. If applied fol
the comfort of Mrs. Red, the Recording
Angel, not US, can tell.
After the poor woman's death, the
talk on the street was that Nixon had
done so much for her, had even sent to
Cincinnati for bed robe. This was
thin lie.
About the middle of last May. when
Aunt Becky Pence was on her death.

of comfort in her case. and polite not
was addressed to Mr.. Nixon, asking
him to bring it to town and leave it al
DR.. Wright's, or at SenAnel Office -
Two weeks passed. DR.. Wright was in
uuired of concerning the matter. He
said that Nixon told him he would not
bring it in, would give it to no one,
Green could come after it himself.
DIR. Wright had taken it out.
Preliminary steps were at once taken
TO bring, by an officer of the law, Nixon
and the Robe. Saturday afternoon DR..
Wright Informed US that Mr.. Nixon
would give him the Robe, and he, (Dr.
Wright) could bring it TO his Office.
The Robe has not yet been brought
in, to the knowledge of its purchaser,
but it will cume.
We only recite the above matter Of a
private act of charity which did not and

small aud mean as not to do what is
civil and what any gentleman would
have done.
The man comes to town almost every
day of the week. yet he is not man
enough to do a quiet act OF civiiity.
We don't want his wig. Others will
take his scalp. We request his reslg-

IF the Infirmary Directors Of
Hooking County think we have
not acted fairly with that instr
tuition, let them come to the
front and disapprove any one
thing we have said.
We are not making a fight
against Dan Nixon personasy or
any member of the board. We
are striking for decency and hu-
manity In the manaent of
The poor house. We believe that
is what the tag payers want and
we feel assured of their support.
The information regarding the
Infirmary that has come TO us, we
believe is reliable, and the best
and quickest way 10 get rid of
the very ugly charges is 20 in
vestIgate.
The people want to know just
what there is in the business
They don't want any whitewash'
they want facts.
The evidence of mismanage-
ment is pouring in upon us from
the best and most reliable peo-
pie in the county, and the Direc-
tors might as we'll rememberthat
the ghost of the horror at the
poor house will not down. 1t has
been seen by too many people.
and they demand that there shall
be no cause for future genera
tions being plagued by such an
ugly specter.
The only way to set aside the
charges of the Sentinel is to
prove that they are not true
This cannot be done.

A Model superintendent.
Daniel Brings the Animals to
the Trough and Makes
them Drink.

Some time ago, it's not necessa-
~ to be exact, Us the Infirmary
Directors will have no trouble in
fixing dates when they get ready to
investigate. Jack Deutcher, an in
mate of the In6rmary, refused to
eat any breakfast, giving as reas-
on that he was not very we'll. Su-
perintendent Nixon insisted that he
should eat whether he wanted to or
not, and when Jack sill persisted
in refusing, Nixon cuffed and thump
ed him until he was compelled to
eat. A young man by the name of
Ruble, and who was selling books,
happened to be present at the In
! Urinary at this time and protested
against the inhuman treatment of
lleutcher. Nixon wanted to know
what right he had TO Interfere, and
ordered HIM away, but the young
man would not travel. claiming that
as citizen Of the county he had
just as much right to be there as
Nixon. When he left he told Nix
that he would report him. and be
did So, but for some reason nothing
was ever heard of the matter and
Daniel has been going on in his
good work of whipping blind wo-
men and other inmates ever since,
Daniel has certainly out done the
old saying...' ..''that you may lead the
horse to the trough but can not
make him drink" When inmates
get too sick to eat, it would be more
humane for Mr.. Nixon to get ma
chine and stuff them. 1t would be
hard on the patient, but not a bit
worse than a severe threshing. 1t
would not hurt Mr.. Nixon. The
man that Can calmly contem-
plate the death of Mrs. Red, with
out any feeling, probably thinks he
will rise sssuperior to the pc wers in
the hereafter, as be does to the In
firmary Directors and people OF
Hooking county at the present day.

citizens, called at the Sentinel of

made by his son and published last

Bond would take bis caue and

would rave in agony like torment,

take the boy out and beat him.
This in Nixon's presence. Mr..
Black says the sight made him sick.
He worked there and had oppor-
tunitles of seeing the barbarities
practiced. From 8 to IL cows
were MIXED. The inmates got no
butter. The county made an allow
