PROBE INTO-CAUSE OF PATIENT'S DEATH Howard County Authorities De- mand Investigation of Respon- sibility for Same. TO FIND WHETHER FORCE USED (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, June 16.—(Special.)—The sheriff of Howard county is demand- .ing of the superintendent of the state . asylum for the insane at Lincoln the couse of the death of Adolph Chaloud, a patient brought by him to that in- stitution last week and who died two days later from an alleged fracture of the skull, The certificate of death furnished by the Lincoln hospital officials stated that death was caused by “cerebral congestion attending alcoholism.” This has-failed to satisfy the relatives of the deadman and they have de- manded of Sheriff W. H. Atwood of that county that a showing be made. Regarding the matter, Superinten- dent Williams makes-the statement that the patient made no trouble after being received at the institution and %roduces an affidavit signed by Harry Zlliott, the cab driver who took Sher- iff Atwood and the Howard county officers with the prisoner to the asy- lum, which shows that the officers cab and that the driver noticed that the latter’s nose was bleeding very rofusely, After they had alighted Iliott discovered that the cushions . of the cab were covered with blood,| but that he had not seen the officers make any attempt to check the flow. Superintendent Williams states that the symptoms which led the hospital physicians to ascribe the death of Chaloud to convulsions caused by alcoholism might have been due to physical violence while en ( route to the hospital. A notation at- i tached to the statement recites that “At which time the patient fell, strik- ing het wall, causing a small scalp wound.” Table Rock Pioneer Sees Success AheadP (From s Statf Correspondent.) Lincoln, June 16.—(Special.)—Ed- gar Wood of Table Rock, who came to Nebraska in 1869, came to Lincoln and called at the state house for the purpose of visiting a short with his comrade-in-arms, Judg{e Fawcett of the supreme court. r. Wood and Judge Fawcett served in the Sixteenth Wisconsin regiment during the civil war and were both wounded at the battle of Shiloh. Judge Fawcett was out of the city and so Mr. Wood contented himself had some trouble with Chaloud in the lof 4 cents per hundred to meet the | further | ‘ with visiting with Chief Clerk Lind- say of the court. Mr. Wood said the nomination of Hughes and ‘Fairbanks had made the republican cause out in his part of the state strong. In the opinion of Mr. Wood every- thing is over but the shouting by the republicans. He thinks that the pro- gressives are well satisfied with the i nominations and will get behind the republican national ticket generally, ORDERS OF THE RAIL BOARD State Commission Makes Rulings After Hearings on Several Complaints, T0 LOOK AT M.

Celebrates Brief Period of Office Holding by Adding to Roster. IMOB.EHEAD TO BE BACK TODAY | (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, June 16.—(Special)— When the sun passed to rest beyand the western horizon tonight Nebraska was again without the protecting hand of an executive official, except what protection Colonel J. H. Presson of the governor's official family was able to give in his official capacity as recording clerk, for Acting Governor James Pearson had folded the mantle of executive authority about him and stolen away to his home at More- field. Perhaps, though, before the sun ap- pears tomorrow morning, Governor Morehead may have shaken the dust of St. Louis from his shoulders and appeared on the scene so that dire disaster may not come to the state by reason of its temporary state of un- preparedness. ~ Some New Colonels. To show that Governor Pearson is not without sympathetic feeling for those brothers in political distress who were also rans on the republican and democratic tickets for lieutenant gov- ernor as well as himself, he today is- | 1 NO POOR GOODS In the Big Wholesale Fur- niture Purchase by the Raymond Furniture Co. We said in yesterday's paper that we would tell you more about this purchase. These warehouses are located in Waterloo, Iowa, and operated by the Security Storage and Wholesale Furniture Dis- tributing Company, organized by || individuals and factory interests. The stocks were wisely bought early in the present year by the company’s buyers, after correctly forecasting the present market conditions and general high prices. The Company, for business reas- ons, wished to close the Waterloo warehouses bs a distributing point. We saw the opportunity—we bought the stock in its entirety, at the lowest discount dollar that would procure it.

Banning of Union, a ‘democrat; Walter Kiechel of Johnson, a republican, and Theodore E. Nord- gren of Hamilton county, a repub- lican. These men now have the offi- cial right to be called colonel and the great common people must re- spect them in such capacity. Of course it remains to be seen whether their titles will stick to them longer than the title of governor stuck to Mr. Pearson, but it is surmised that as long as Governor Morehead trustees. that three-fourths of the board must be Congregationalists was modified to read, “must he members of the evan- gelical church.” The trustees believe that this action puts Doane more per- fectly in line with the modern co-op- crative tendencies of Protestant de- nominations and at the same time makes stronger and more formal its connection with the Congregational body.
