York, Neb, Aug. 15.-Joseph Scott,
a member of the York fire department
who participated in the contests at
Norfolk, was a much surprised boy
when the chief of police of Norfolk ar
rived in York and placed him under ar
rest charging him with assault. A
graver and more serious charge hangs
over Scott If the young man who is
now at the point of death at Norfolk
should die.
Joseph Scott has lived in York near
ly all his life and his parents are
highly respected. He is now employed
at the Dowrie- Wright foundry. This
is the first time Scott has been placed
under arrest
1t is alleged that Scott, with other
firemen, while celebrating the victories
met a young man who was assisting
a woman through the crowded streets
and knocked him down on the cement
pavement, striking his head in such a
manner that the skull is fractured
near the base of the brain. Scott is
not vicious and his many friends are
surprised to learn of the trouble
