A STORY oF CRUELTY
Told by Inmate of n Minnesota Asylum
An Investigation Asked.


An Investigation Asked.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 24--Another story of inhu-
man treatment is being told. which, if true,
will draw considerable attention to the man
agement of the st. Peter asylum, and may pos
sibly end in an investigation.
The story has been told by the Rev. s. D.
Kemerer, a methodist pastor at Ortonville.
Several weeks ago he wrote to Secy. Hart max
ing complaint that young lady of Bingstone
county had been most foully dealt with by a
citizen of Minneapolis, who, in addition TO his
shameful treatment of the girl, had her finally
placed in the ST. Peter asylum. Mr.. Kemerer
charges that the young lady was not sent to st.
Peter as a lunatic, but tina. the authorities
knew the facts and took charge of her to hide
the wrong done by the Minneapolis man.
Ii is related that her father wrote to Supt
Bartlett, but did not receive satisfactory re-
ply. whereupon William Campbell. probate
Judge, wrote, but received no answer Lately
the girl has been released and she makes the
charge that her treatment there very i'm
moral. She has signifed her willingness to
testify to their acts before the board of correc-
tions and charities. but she has not yet been
called to do so. This is the story, and it is now
being investigated by the state board Of chari-
ties and correction.

four children and twelve adults. There have
been twelve deaths up TO date, and before the
week is over the doctor thinks there will be
that many more. The village is up on the hills

the sanitary conditions are awful the hog
pens and out-houses have not been cleaned for

of the town. Fathers and mothers are flying
with their children for their lives, and in this
way the disease will undoubtedly be carried to
other places. The three doctors Of Moscow
are working night and day, one of them hav-
ing forty eases. The disease is the most malg-
nant ever known in that vicinity. II is accom-
panied by rapid pulse. high fever and great ex-
haustion. Death frequently results from blood
poisoning when the patient Is apparently con-
valescing. sometimes an hour after the child is
up walking around. A board of health has
been organized at Moscow and the town is now
