scALDINe CURED HER.
Former Insane Patient Accidentally
Came to Senses,


Noting the story OF the relief from
dementia occasioned in one Of the
women patients at the Norfolk insane
hospital this week as a result of a
surgical operation for gallstones, DR..
J. II. Mackay, formerly superinten-
dent at the institution, tells of a case
somewhat similar which happened
during his administration. A woman
who had been in the hospital two or
three years and who was supposed to
be suffering from chronic melancholia,
resisted all efforts to feed her, put
her to bed and battle her. One day
the attendant had filled bath-tub
with warm water. The woman re-
fused to get into the bath. At length
patience ceased to be effective and
the attendant seized the patient and
plunged her into the tub. BY this
time the hot water had filled the tub
and was heated to a scalding degree
The patient jumped from the burning
water and in that instant her reason
was restored AS soon as the scalds
were healed the woman went home
as well as ever

MANY WANT "DISTRICT LEADER
One of the CIeverest of All Musical
Comedies Nav Come

Already advance ticket orders are
being received by the Auditorium for
THE District Leader" which will
come to Norfolk Friday night, June
5, in case enough of an advance sale
can be secured to guarantee the at
traction. Several mail orders have
already been received from up the
Bonesteel line, east toward Wisner,
and northeast toward Wayne.
This will be the theatrical event of
the season in north Nebraska, in case
the attraction can be secured. There
are fifty people in the company,
twelve clever principals and thirty
eight chorus girls, who are said to
be unusually pretty and winsome.
The very fact that THE District
Leader" was written by that eminent
fellow, Joseph e. Howard, is enough
to make all who keep posted at all on
theatrical things, long for a chance
to see this musical comedy.
Mr. Howard wrote THE Time, The
Place and the Girl" He also wrote
THE Flower of the Ranch" which
very nearly came to Norfolk last win
ter but failed on account of a lack of
public guarantee.
Norfolk people may consider them.
selves highly fortunate in this oppor-
tunity to see "The District Leader"
Efforts were made by the Auditorium
management last fall to get a date
from this attraction, but it was i'm
possible. The company has been in
the west, playing Pacific coast cities,
and is now returning. The season is
almost at an end and it is thus on
the return trip to New York that Nor
folk may get the show.

BOOSTING BASE BALL
NORFOLK WILL SOON BE IN THE
NATIONAL GAME.
IN THE FIELD FOR GAMES NOW.

The Prospects For Regular Norfolk
Team Are Good-Financia Support
is ppearing-Benson Eagles Here
on June 8.
The Norfolk base ball fan, the en-
ergetic loyal fan who likes to see Nor
folk with a team that can hold its own
with the best here abouts, is begin
ming to sit up and take notice.
He has heard Captain Shafer speak
some good things about that lively
bunch of Norfolk Youngsters who have
got the raw material for a fast nine
once they get the necessary coaching.
He has seen several young men who
| have dropped into Norfolk the last
few months out for practice and he
realizes that Norfolk has been fortu-
nate in having some rafting good
men brought to town by their business
or occupation.
Knowing as he does that it's money
| that makes the old national game step,
up to the music he is mighty glad to-
| find out that the bunch of pushers who
were elected base ball directors have
been getting financial help along the
avenue and that there are still a good
many more citizens who are in posi-
tion to come through for the good
cause.
He knows that Norfolk has one fast
game in sight when the Benson Eagles
come here to play Norfolk the first
day of the Eagle convention.
He has heard one of the directors
say that Norfolk wants game with
Neigh right away, that the local nine
has written to Plainvew and has re-
ceived an offer from Hooper to play
two games here.
He thinks the course of the baseball
management in going after a good bat
terry that will always be ready for
game is along the right line.
He thinks the new suits will look
well and the scores that the suit
wearers make will look better.
SO he is going to boost.

WHO OWNS THE HOG?
Contest Over a Dakota Hog Promises
to Be Costly


Miller, S. d., May 24.-The Iowa
calf case may be outdone by a hog
case near Rockham in which the bust
ness men of that town have become
involved as arbitrator. 1t seems that
Jake Lyon, a peaceable farmer neal
there went to the hog lot Of Charles
Sanger, another inoffensive husband
man, in daylight and took away what
he claimed was one of his strayed
porkers. Mr.. Sanger saw from the
field where he was working the
strange doings of Mr.. Lyon and has.
tened to admonish him, telling him to
put the hog back in the lot, which he
refused to do, and Mr.. Sanger then
drove to Miller, about thirty miles
and swOre out a warrant for his ar.
rest on the charge Of grand larceny.
The sheriff went after the accused
and the time was set for hearing the
case. The defendant moved that the
matter be arbitrated by Rockham men
instead Of being heard as a criminal
charge. The plaintiff wished to be
lenient with his neighbor and agreed
to the motion. The arbitrator picked
by the litigantS were Ed Sifkins
banker; Barney Hagman, banker, and
Charles Buss, postmaster and store,
keeper, all of Rockham. A day was
set by the dispute settlers to go out
to the Lyon ranch and see and take
Testimony as to the rightful owner of
the hog. 1t was decided that Mr.
Lyon keep the shoat and Mr.. Sanger
be given s.. The decision was SO
unsatisfactory to Mr.. Sanger that he
at once started for Miller to again
have the case opened for a different
settlement. He secured replevin pa
pers and will now try to get the hog
in that way. The case has already
COST the parties about 800, and il
has hardly got started, according to
Mr.. Sanger.
1t seems that the arbitrators took
novel way of determining the own.
ership of the hog. They turned it in
with the Lyon hogs to see If it was
acquainted. They then put it in with
the Sanger herd of swine.
The Rockham people are consider
ably agtated over the outcome Of the
case, as both the contending parties
are prominent in that neighborhood

The Burlington railroad has placed

not secured just what asked for yet,
but the concession is very near it.
While the rates have just been issued
they have been made effective, under
authority Of the state railway COM
mission, from March II last. The
railway commission gave the road
permission to make this change prior
to that date.
Before these rates were made 1t
was next thing to impossible for Lin.
coin jobbers to reach this line. The
best thing that could be done was to
ship to some junction point and pay
the local freight rate from there.
The saving, | should say, is some
where near so per cent. The rates
will apply to all business shipped
since March II, when the new tariff
became effective"
