DR.. Bergstein's Answer.

DR.. Bergstein, Superintendent Of
the Nevada Hospital for Mental Dis
eases, has fled the following reply to
the charges made by Henry Woods,
the discharged Assistant Superinten-
dent:
RENO, New, December IL, 1897.
To the Honorable, the Boe'rd of
Commissioners for the core OF the Ia
digeat Insane, Carson city, Nevada:
-SENTLEMEN-In reply to the charg-
es made by II. Wood, I deny:
LIST. That certain employees or any
enploye OF said Hospital acting under
my specific orders threw into the
Truclsee river or into bitches or fumes
debouching into said river the brains
Of certain deceased persons, patients
in sail Hospital at the time of their
demise, upon whose remains / had
made autopsIes.
81. l deny that the remains of S.
w. Thomas were kept in the morgue
at the Hospital awaiting burial, until
the said remains we're in an advapced
state of decomposition, or until the
odor was so offensive that it was diff
cult for the employees Of said Hospital
to properly handle said remains; and
J assert that said remains were bur-
ed within thirty-six hours after the
death of said S. W. Thomas.
And I further say that to II. Wood,
the Supervisor, was assigned the bur-
ial of che dead and if there was any
neglect Of dhty it was his.
In conclusion, having fully denied
the charges OF said Henry Wood. re-
spectfully ask the Board, if they deem
the charges worthy OF investigation,
to fix as early day as practicable for
a hearing upon said charges.
respectfully ask the Board that
said II. Wood be required to make his
first charge more specific by giving
the names of the employees or en-
ploye to whom the alleged orders
were given, or to furnish me the
names Of the witnesses or witness by.
whom he proposes to substantiate his
charges, that I may be better prepar
ed to procure witnesses by whom
said charges may be refuted, that
time and unuecess airy contingencies
may be avoided.
Respectfully submitted,

cal; for Our Country"

Wat sort Of men are the County
Com nlssioners Of Elko county. They
have the Elko county letterheads,
elaborate photographic affairs printed
at the establishment of Irwin, Hold
son & Co., Portl md, Or. On the left
Of the page is the seal Of the State
anG the words, "All for our Country"
Now we would like to ask Messrs
Woolverton, Reed and Rigsby if that
means all for Nevada or all for Ore
gonP These men get their votes in
Nevada that elect them to Office, but
they spend the taxpayers money in
Oregon. Are there no job printing
Offices in Eiko county where letter
heads can be printed and what has
become of the law on that subject?
Appeal. o..
BY resolution Of the county COM
missioners all supplies for the .Elko
couRty officers are purchased by the
county clerk. The county has con-
tract with the Tidings Office to DO all
the necessary county printing except
blank and bound books. Letter
heads are included in that contract
and the INDEPENDENT can SEQ 10
good reason why the firm Of Irwin,
Kodsop & Co., of Portland, Oregon,
shoIld oe paid for work for which
the county pays the Tidings Office to
do. ...
Tho Appeal article was shown to
ciesk nc Bride today and he stat ed that
IL was correct ana that he was merely
Following out the custom in vogue
when he took charge of the Office in
orderiag autographed letter heads
Ecm the Portland firm. This shows
That the commissioners are not re-
s2onsible for the practice Of purchas-
ing letter heads in Portland Oregon,
when the county has contract with
en- E!ko Office to do that kind of work.
Neither DO we think the clerk should
be censured as he is merely following
out the custom in vogue when he took
the ottics. 1t is bad custom, how
ever, and should be stopped,
The letter heads printed here are
rot such fancy affairs as those fur
nished by the Portland firm, but they
are plenty good enough for orr coun
ty officers to use and the; should use
them or pay for the others out of
their own pockets
