AFTER BEDWELL ASYLUM.
Residents of North Topeka say 1t Is a
Nuisance.

Geo. Kimmerle and forty five others
presented d petition to the city council
last night asking that BedwelIs private
asylum be removed from its location IN
North Topeka.
The council has had complaints before
this about the asylum but this last petit
ton was prompted by the trouble result
ing from insane patient who persists
ia escaping. He gets away with his
shackles on and then hunts around
through the yards and houses in the
neigh borhood to find file with which
he can rid himself of the manacles.
Councilman Holman said last night
that the man had escaped three times
and had terrorized the people ia the
neigh bOrhood continually The asylum
IS a nuisance" said he, land the council
should take steps TO abate it at once"
Il don't believe" said Councilman
Bradford shat the council can do any
thing Of the kind We cannot remove
that which has not been declared a uuis-
ance by the statutes. 1t is my opinion
that if We take action we will be attack
ing something which We have no bust
ness to-.
The petition was then referred to the
committee on health.
