DEFENDS INSANITY COMMISSION
Or. Long Says No Evidence Was Pro.
ciuced to Show Kelly Not Sane.

Madison, Neb., Jan. 81. Editor
News The more or less blood-curd-
ling tale in today's News touching the
alleged insanity OF one James Kelley
of your town seems to have for its
motive the throwing of mud at the
commission Of insanity of Madison
county.
AS medical member of the commits
sion l may be allowed to state that this
man was released for want Of suffi-
cient evidence to justify holding him
or committing him. If the evidence Of
insanity was to be had in Norfolk it
should have been produced before the
commission.
The evidence before the board was
that this man had lived in Norfolk for
three years, that he was well-behaved,
sober and Industrious, and that at the
boarding house where he had lived all
this time he was considered a model
boarder; that on the morning of the
day on which the matter for which he
was arrested occurred, he was not
feeling well when he went to work;
that he worked several hours and, feel
ing worse, he quit work and went to
his boarding house; that he was seized
with severe chill and was asked to
sit by the kitchen stove to get warm,
that he became delirious, so that it
took several men to hold him, that DR..
Mackay was called, came and admin
istered a hypodermic injection, had
his medicine case broken by the pa
tent throwing it, and that the doughty
doctor thereupon showered upon the
poor delirious patient lot Of his choic-
est invective, presumably in English,
Gaelic and German, anyway none Of
the witnesses cared to repeat the Ian
guage used. F. A. Long.

success Of Agent CHEESEMAN'S work, and

II will require some time for Major
Mclaughlin to finish at the agency.
The report will be made at this SEES
sion of congress, and II Is hoped to
bring about the opening next summer.
The Indians seem well pleased with
the results, but there Is a strong feel
ing among citizens that II a price Of
$3.50 to $500 per acre is to be charged
for the land that the right of home
stead entry ought not to be required,
or that the right II used ought to be
restored.
Strong pressure will be brought to
bear on the committee In charge to
have several places in both Gregory
county, S. d., and in Nebraska, desig'
mated as places for registration.
If the land ia Trip county is thrown
open for settlement this summer II
will witness the largest rush for land
ever seen in the United States. The
soil is fertile, level and valuable.

Apologized to Uecher for his pup,
And hay being really Hay,
Let Sadie's sheep eat him up.
There is the finish, all is done,
The sheep with Hay are full,
The people have had their little fun,
And Sadie is still growing wool.
