As tho result of getting his legs
.cut off by n freight train Sunday af
ternoon In tho Gothenburg yards, Carl
Norrls died In tho Good Samaritan
hospital Sunday night about mid
night. Tho boy was brought Into this city
Sunday afternoon accompanied by a
physician from Gothenburg and taken
to tho hospital. Dr. T. J. Kerr was
called and they operated upon him at
onco but tho operation failed to save
his life.
As near as anyono has been ablo to
discover tho young man was attempt
ing to board a freight train In tho
Gothenburg yards and slipped under
tho wheels. Both legs wero cut off
above the knees ami ho lost consider
able blood. Ho regained consciousness
a little while before ho was brought to
this city nnd told tho nttendlng phy
sician wlioro his homo was and gavo
his parents' names.
After ho was brought hero he did
not fully regain consciousness until
after the operation. Ho was suffering
so with tho shock that his senses wero
dulled nnd ho was unablo to make
any detinue statement, no rauiea
after tho operation and then' later be
gan to sink and expired during tho
night.
Tho relatives of tho boy, who live In
San Diego, California, were noti
fied yesterday and tho officials are
waiting to hear from them beforo mak
ing any disposition of tho body. Tho
body will bo held by Coroner Mnloney
until ho is notified.
Tho boy is undoubtedly a tramp ns
his clothes show him to bo such. It
is suspected that ho probably ran
away from home ns ho Is a good-looking,
clean-cut boy and appears to. bo
about sixteen years of age. His np
pearunco would lead one to believe
that ho was raised In a good home.

A Protest.
In ono of tho Into local papers It is
said, "In ns much ns Roy Roberts, con
demned murdcror, was allowed to
spend his boyhood and young man
hood In North Platto undor condi
tions that nro anything but favorable,
tho ladles of tho Twentieth Century
Club aro to clrculnto a petition which
will bo sent to Governor Moorohcnd,
asking him to commute tho death
sentence to llfo Imprisonment." Ono
of tho members is reported to havo
described tho torrlblo conditions un
dor which this young man has been al
lowed to grow up in this community.
Sho so impressed it upon hor uudl
enco that almost any ono in this com
munity would bo In exnetly tho snmo
condition that Roborts Is now In If
they hnd to grow up In his surround
ings. I protest against tho charge as a
libel and slandc ngnlnBt our boys;
against tho .'nthcrs and mothers of
our city. I am a resident of over n
quarter of a century nnd a father.
Had this club looked over tho names
of tho business men of our town and
county it no doubt would havo been
surprised to find tho great number who
wero born, raised and educated In this
community. Had it inoulred about
our absent boys it no doubt would have
been surprised at being informed timt
they are scattered from Now York to
California; that they aro filling high
postttons in tho business, educational
and govermontal affairs, wherever
they are located, with credit to thom
solvcs, their country and tho town
whero thoy woro raised. Had It mado
a little inquiry, It would havo learned
that Roy Roborts was not "raised In
lb Is community;" and that no boy
raised In this comniunlty has over
been charged with such a horrlblo
crime. But It Is easy to criticise nnd
find fault. Deep water runs still,
tho nolso Is mado upon tho riffles. If
this club has no higher object thnn to
criticise, than to alandor our boys
and tho fathers and mothers of tho
community, It had better disband, or
enlist moro of tho noble motners 01
our town In Its membership for
womanly counsel and motherly wis
dom. Llfo is earnest, life Is real and
It Is the earnest, real work that brings
real results, and not crleij from the
housetops How much moro commen
dable tho meeting of this club would
have been, had It beon devoted to an
earnest and real effort to find a good
homo In which to place Roborts' little
sister; a place and a homo whero sho
can havo a chance to crow up to noblo
womanhood; and this city Is full of
Just such homes; how much more
commendable, If It engaged Itself In
spreading tho "broad mantlo or cnar
Ity" to help tho mother cover past mis
steps; how much moro commendable
had it engaged itself in extenuing
some kind words nnd kind deeds, to
the mother as an encouragement fpr
better life; or procuring for her
