FOR STATE SENATOR.
Reasons why Voters should Cast Their
Ballots for w. w. Young

bhiiOts Tor w. w. Young.
1t is with genuine pleasure that TIE
News addresses its readers soliciting
their support for the subject of this
sketch. w. w. Young of Stanton, the
republican nominee for state senator.
Some among us had the honor of Mr..
loung's acquaintance previous to his
nomination. Others have since met
him in person or have been permitted to
listen to one of his masterful addresses.
Others may not have done so and,
owing to the size of the district and the
short time intervening before the cleo.
ton may not be able to do so. Those
who have made his acquaintance or
heard him speak appreciate his ability
to creditably fill the position of state
senator. lt is to those who have not
that this article is particularly addressed,
and to them we say unhestatingly that
no more capable or deserving man ever
stood before the voters of the Eleventh
senatorial district as the nominee of
any party soliciting your support.
Physically he is an excellent specimen
of robust American manhood, command
ing i'll appearance and dignitied i'll
bearing Mentally he is equally strong,
thinks and acts readily and with de-
cision, and grasps ideas readily and
clearly.
The coming session of the legislature
of Nebraska will be one of unusual i'm
portance, The work to be done calls
for men of brains and perception. The
election of two United States senators,
though important, is but one of the
many important acts which that body
will be called upon to perform Work
of importance to the state and which
rises above politics must be done. The
state must be redistricted for congress
sional, judicial and legislative purposes.
There are laws to be made, matters Of
utmost Importance to the state must
receive their consideration and action.
1t is to the direct interest of every citi-
zsn that this district be well represented
as it will be with Mr. Young as its
senator.
His opponent may possess some cleri.
cal ability, so does Mr.. Young More
than this, he is an orator, statesman
and scholar, who possesses clear and
penetrating vision. AS senator his
voice will be heard on all subjects OF
Importance calling for oral discussion
In framing laws, in council chambers
wherever there is important work to do
wherever brains and sagacity are re
quired he is sure to be in demand
Such men as he always command tn,
respect of their associates and are neve,
'pigeon holed" and heard Of only wheI
a ballot is cast and then py a simple We,
or nay.
Elect w. w Young and no senatoria
district in the state will be more abb,
represented than the Eleventh. n

be proud Of their representative in tn
upper house of the state legislature tha

young and old, their conception of a
good time was to fill up on booze, and
this they did in quite thorough man
ner. In II. Loder's place they got into
to dispute, which finally ended in a
fight, in which it is generally believed
that knives were used, one of the COM
batants having quite bad cut on the
hand and another cut and bruise on
the head. After the melee common
jack-knife was picked up and placed in
Chief Wldaman's hands, but at the trial
neither of the participants would claim
it, so it probably could not be proven
who used knife. One of the men, how
ever, was confident that he knows and
can prove who did the cutting and it
may be possible that criminal action
will be commenced.

To lie Buried In Norfolk.
Charles Crouch who formerly resided
in Norfolk, lost his life Saturday night
about 10 o'clock while working in the
yards of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul railroad Mt Sioux City. Mrs.
Crouch was formerly Miss Annie APPEL
who has u sister employed in the steam
laundry. The deceased also has n
brother in Norfolk The remains will
be brought here for interment. The
Sioux City Tribune of last evening con
tains the following account of the &C.
cident
at is thought brake chain gave way
when Crouch threw his weight against
the wheel, causing him to fall between
two cars. He was ground to pieces.
"The crew had started from the Mil
waukee passenger station with the
switch engine, backing and drawing
two BOX cars behind it. They were go.
ing to the Linseed Oil works to set n
car OH a switch After the switch at
the linseed plant had been thrown and
the car placed, the body of Crouch was
found as the engine started back. He
was lying on the track and was man
gled and crushed in an unrecognizable
manner
From an investigation it seems that
~ 4. l.It l.. ~.
Pierce street, for parts of his lantern
were found not far from the depot.
The body was caught on the brake beam
in such a way that it was dragged for
the entire six blocks. 1t remained Sc
cure until strip of the clothing caught
in the frog of the switch and tore it
loose, Parts of the mans body We're
found along the entire distance. The
remains were taken to Westcott's S under.
taking rooms after Coroner Wade had
been called. Crouch was comparatively
young and came to Sioux City from
Omaha about two years ago with his
wife, whom he had just married They
lived at Seventh and Morgan streets
and the news of the fearful death of
Crouch Frustrated his WIFE
The coroner's jury returned verdict,
after a session of three hours, eXonerat
ing the railroad company from any
blame in connection with the death
From the testimony of the men en-
ployed on the train at the time it was
ascertained that one of the cars had a
defective brake beam, and it is possible
that Crouch came to his death by means
of it. Evidence was introduced show
ing that he must have fallen from the
top of one of the cars at Second and
Pierce streets and was dragged over six
blocks along the ties. His hat, lantern,
a shoe and pieces of flesh were found on
Pierce street.
Miss APPEL went over to Sioux City
this morning in response to a message
announcing that her sister had been
Frustrated by the shock. The remains
are to be brought to Norfolk tomorrow
or Thursday and the funeral held here.
