MALICIOUS CHARGE REFUTED
DR.. Young Asks Governor Sheldon to
lnvestiqate Vicious Story,

''NSStiSdtS tISiouS Slofys
Dr. G. A. Young, superintendent of
the Norfolk hospital for the insane,
has issued the following statement
with regard to charge made against
him by e. w. Monroe, a former at
tendant, in Omaha and Lincoln news
papers:
"My attention has been called to the
article in the Evening World-Herald

have asked for an investigation.

ready access to it in the governors
office at Lincoln. Correspondents are
invited to visit the hospital and every
opportunity will be given to aid in
making a thorough investigation. A
committee of seventeen members of

into the affairs of the institution"
Monroe says among other things:
81 resigned my position as superin-
tendent of the violent ward at the
Norfolk state insane hospital because
| refused to take the responsibility OF
guarding. without assistance, thirty
maniacal patients. some of whom |
might have to kill or injure at any mo-
ment to protect myself"
He charges DR.. Young with gross
negligence of the violent patients, with
covering up the facts in several cases
OF suicides and with cutting down the
number of attendants to an absurdly
low figure in order to economic and
thus gain prestige in his quest for the
permanent position of superintendent.
Conditions at the Norfolk institu-
ton are the worst | ever saw" Mr..
Monroe declares. 81 have worked in
nearly a dozen insanity hospitals ami
have quit in each case with the best
recommendations but never did | see
anything to touch the state of affairs

Monroe says he was employed at
the hospital on December 6 and re-
signed with disgust on March 1.

DOORS WILL BE BARRED.
Visits of Prowler viii Cause Extra
Precauton.

Norfolk doors will be securely bar
red tonight and Norfolk windows will
be firmly fastened. Stories of the mid.
night prowler and rumors of attempted
burglaries have alarmed the tlmid
minded. Starting with some founda.
ton of fact, the truth in such stories
gains many interesting additions as
1t goes the rounds of the town gossip
The fictitious "bogy man" is always
as much feared as the real burglar and
in most cases is about equally danger
Gus. Whether the two or three noe
turnal visits made by unlimited
strangers to Norfolk homes during the
past few days were merely unconnect-
ed events or foreshowed an epidemic
of such occurrences, the effect is much
the same. During the next few days
every bark of the dog will bring alarm
and every whistle of the wind will be
marked with suspicion.
Norfolk from the nature of its popu-
lation is a city where such alarms
make quick progress. The town
stretches over wide area Many
heads of Norfolk families are railroad
and travelling men, whose work keeps
them away from home on many even
ings. For these reasons idle rumors
gain credulence and home after home
is baracaded for the time being against
the threatening appearance of the
burglar or night stroller But these
same facts are also reasons why Nor
folk should enjoy the most efficient
police protection possible for a city
of this size.

STANTON HAS LIGHT PROBLEM
Question Of Electricity and Sewer May
Cause Two Tickets,


Stanton, Neb., March 15.-Special to
The News: Municipal politics up to
yesterday were very quiet in Stanton.
Yesterday both the Picket and the
Register came out for the same men:
Levy Miller for mayor, Joseph Graf
tan for councilman in the Second
ward. Mr.. Miller is president of the
First National bank and has been a
resident of this place for almost a
quarter Of century. Joseph Grattan
is also well and favorably known.
Both possess undoubted abilities for
the position to which they aspire.
Were it not that there was some diff
ferences among the citizens on the
best policy to be pursued with refer
ence to the proposition of the city
owning it's own electric lights and
also on the ACCESSIBILITY of construct
ing a sewerage system, it is quite
probable that no contest would be
made. But on these questions there
is some difference of opinion which
may give rise to some opposition, or
which may die out before Saturday
evening, the date set for the conven-
ton.

COON SKINS PAY TAXES.
Samuel Lemon of Brown County, in
Norfolk, Discusses Land.

Despite the fast march of progress
in northern Nebraska, trapping, hunt

northern tier of counties. This year
Samuel Lemon, a Brown county ranch

NEW DEPOT SUGGESTION
THIS PLAN WOULD RELIEVE THE
TOWN OF TRACKS.
WOULD CUT OUT SWITCHING
A Lot of Things Which Are Now OBJ
jected to, Says Resident, Could be
Done Away With by Putting Depot
Out in the Country, Away From Town

tFrom Fridays DailyI
A new depot plan is suggested by a
Norfolk citizen. 1t was suggested as
a means of relieving the objection
which many express toward having
trains cross Main street This is the
plan:
Build union depot in the Y down
at South Norfolk. Tear out all tracks
now crossing Norfolk avenue. Build
the M. & o. track down to the juno
ton on the east side of the river and
bring it into the Junction on the main
line of the Northwestern. Swing the
Union Pacific trains into the Junction
from southwest of the city. Swing
the Bonesteel line east of town, bend
ing it at the sugar factory and let it
run into the Junction on the M. & O..
track, east Of the river.
This" says the citizen, would re-
lieve us of tracks across Norfolk av-
enue. There would be no streets to
close, The industrial establishments
now alongside tracks, which would be
left high and dry by removal of tracks,
could be turned into some other use
by the Industrial company, now in
charge of the sugar factory building
Seventh street could be made a
boulevard"
