Fort Niobrara, Neb., June 19.-Spe-

ing up and packing household goods,
preparatory to the abandonment of
Fort Niobrara on July 7, began here
today in earnest, and all is confusion
at this old army post. The next two
weeks will be filled with an unusual
activity, only to be followed by years
and centuries of absolute quiet in the
deserted fort.
The homes of the officers, which had
been so cozily furnished, are today
scenes of upheaval. A good china
glass-packer could make an excellent
bit of money if he were on the ground
this week and next.

HIS REPUTATION IS GOOD
15o PROMINENT MEN SIGN STATE.
MENT FOR ALTscHULER.
TO OFFSET WORDS AGAINST
Large Number Of Well Known Citi.
zens and Business Men Say That
They Have Known Witness Many
Years and That His Word ls Good.
tFrom Mondays Daily.I


Julius Altschuler's friends in Nor
folk have within the past few days
circulated a petition about town, se-
curing the signatures Of no less than
$50 prominent citizens and business
men to a statement which says that
they have known Mr.. Altschuler for a
number of years and that they have
never heard that his reputation for
truth and veracity was anything but
good. The state board of public lands
and buildings said that they would ad-
init such statement in evidence, If
properly sworn to, and mailed to them
before their next session Thursday.
This movement is taken to counteract
testimony given by ten business men
at the hospital investigation to the eff.
feet that his reputation was not good,
this testimony being taken for the pur-
pose of offsetting his testimony as to
cruelty and brutality at the institu-
ton.
Among those who have signed the
statement are: County Attorney Jack
Koenigstein, Sheriff ]. ]. Clements, DR..

MOBWAS FORMEDFORA|M
INTENSE EXCITEMENT WEST OF
NORFOLK SATURDAY..
OVER BOYS DISAPPEARANCE
Ugly Rumors Atloat Regarding the Dis
appearance of Jimmie o'Gorman,
Aged Fourteen, But County Attorney
Thinks Boy Ran Away.
[From Mondays Daily.1

What has become of James O'Gor-
man, the 14-year-old son of Patrick
O'Gorman, who lives about six miles
northwest of Norfolk, on the Madison
and Pierce county line? This Is the
question which has been puZzling the
neighbors of the O'Gorman family
since the disappearance of the boy,
eight weeks ago last Thursday. Ugly
rumors have grown in the neighbor-
hood and County Attorney Jack Koen-
igstein, who heard rumors some weeks
ago, received telephone message Sat
urday evening that a mob was form
ing near Battle Creek to do violence
to O'Gorman. A telephone report this
morning says that excitement was in
tense in the neighborhood.
County Attorney Koenigstein and
Sheriff ]. ]. Clements drove to the
place and investigated the mystery.
They concluded that Jimmie had run
away eight weeks ago, because of cru
ell treatment received from his father.
Mr.. O'Gorman was in Norfolk this
morning seeking, it was reported, to
make trouble for the county officials
because they came out to investigate
rumors.
Father Struck Boy.
"Mr. O'Gorman admits that he
struck the boy twice very hard on the
day the lad left home" said County
Attorney Koenigstein. "He had sent
the boy to care for calves. The calves
got into another mans yard and O'Gor-
man struck the boy. Then Jimmie
went in the direction of the calves,
the calves returned but Jimmie has
never been seen nor heard of since.
Mother Believes Dead.
Mrs. O'Gorman believes that her
boy is dead. He had no money and
had never been away from home be-
fore. She thinks he has starved to
DEATH"
A sickening scene of living condi-
tions was found by the county attor-
ney and sheriff. Although O'Gorman
owns his farm, free from debt, and
has money out on interest, 1t is said,
his wife ard children were only COW
cred by rags for clothing and the
place is described as nauseatlng. Mrs.
O'Gormon said that her husband was
cruel to the boy and that she didn't
blame him for running away.

In this respect the D. of I. has for midable rival in the Daughters of Erin, or Ladies' auxiliary, A. o. H., probably one of the strongest organ ized bodies of women in Waterbury. They have taken up this hospital mat ter and if they don't carry of the honors for jealous work and good results it will be none of their fault. Both societies have a very large membership and with these and the various other organizations pulling together it is thought that the fair will net something handsome for the hospital.
 Those youngsters on West Clay and West Liberty streets who make a practice of aiming missiles at pedes- trians and drivers of teams had bet ter be careful lest they have to an- swer in the police for their miscon- duct. One of them had a pretty close call Saturday. He hit man Tn the foot with a stone and as soon as the victim recovered from the shock he chased the youngster on to South Main street and finally caught up with him near the entrance to Rush. ton place. Spectators thought the man would give the boys few kicks and probably get himself into trouble but he knew better and instead Of that he took the little joker by the collar and headed him towards the lookup. Then there was music. The stone thrower beloved like calf and pleaded for mercy, but the man took no notice of him and continued straight up through the center, but after he cooled down he let him go. These are two bad spots, but they are not the only ones about town and many wonder why the police never catch on to the abuse.
