Henry Kinlble, and a red-haired
woman dressed in mans clothing and
representing herself to be Kimble's

Deputy City Marshal Jan Lindgreen

and posed as brothers. They claim
their home is in Cheyenne, Wyo.,
and that they were en- route to Chey-
enne from a visit with relatives at

rest County Attorney BaSye received
a message from the sheriff at Clay
Center, the county seat OF the county
in which Edgar is located, stating

cidentally discharged in the hands
OF his oldest son. Officers here al

Charles Young Tells Govern

In Auto at Night With
County Officers.
U. S. Will Probe Charges

Washington, D. G., Nov. a.
! Especial ram.)-United States
Department of Health officials have
instigated an investigation into the
mysterious disappearance from the
Madison county Nebraska poor farm
OF Charles Young, afflicted with
leprosy, whom they found in
Washington rooming house and have
interned in the district quarantine
station.
According to Dr.. William {.
Fowler, health officer, Young told
him that he was taken from the Mad
ison county farm by county officers
at night in an automobile and they
forbade him to return. He says he
was taken about 90 miles from the
farm, given a big dinner and advised
to get on train and out OF the
state.
Found in Rooming House.
Young talked freely to the health
officers, admitting that Omaha doc
tors had pronounced his disease lep-
rosy, and told of his travels through
eight states unmolested after he left
Madison county in Jnly. He said
he had been living in Washington in
public rooming house since Sep
! tember.
1t was learned that Young was in
Washington when he went to a ply
sician to be treated for minor
complaint. DR.. Fowler was called
and held a clinical examination, de-
claring the disease unquestionablv
leprosy. DR.. Fowler said that Young's
body was covered with spots and
skin LESSONS.
Young is veteran of the Spanish
American war and says he came TO
Washington to settle pension claim
for disability due to rheumatism. He
says he served in Cuba and is OF the
opinion he contracted the disease
while in the army. He told health
officers that spots first appeared on
his body while employed at the Z.
! S. Naval Station, Key West, Fla, He
then went to Hot Springs, Ark,
where he stayed for eight weeks.
May DC ICtui liCo'
Young's wife lives in Florida and
he was employed by a bridge con-
struction firm in Madison county
when his disease first came to pub
lie notice. A hut was erected for
him on the Madison county poor
farm where he was kept isolated
but not under guard. County Off
cials in Madison county denied any
knowledge of his escape early this
month. When the fact was made
public they declared that he must
have become lonesome and walked
off during the night.
The health service will keep
Young in DR.. Fowler's jurisdiction
pending a probe into his charges
that Madison county officials
ordered him out OF the county and
assisted him by furnishing an auto
mobile to transport him from the
county.
Following the investigation it is
probable that Young will be
returned to Madison county at the
county's expense. Later he will
probably be taken to the Louisiana
lepersorium which is maintained by
the government. The public health
officers think the much dreaded dis
ease has been conquered and it is
probable that Young will be given
the chaulmoogra oil treatment. Doc
tors say he has not yet reached the
incurable stage.
