LfeO'S BODY INTERRED. - .: .. A if fV mt j Jb iw 1 News from Over the State ,rYYYYTTYYTYTYYYYYVYTYYYYYYO HiMiMiiiomil Cimi' at I'uwiice City. Charged with placing u now-born babe In a freight car.where It was found the next day alive, though It later died, Dr. Finloy, a prominent physician of Pawnee City, may be cited to appear beforo the state board - of health at Its next regular meeting. y'Tho case was one of the- most sensa tional of the Jdnd In the history of the state, and as a sequel a judge has declared that on the statutes of .Nebraska there Is no law to punish .a woman for an unnatural crime. The mother of the child was Edna Wilson, aged 18 .years, the (laughter of a re spected widow' of Pawnee City, and It .-was claimed by tho prosecutor of Paw 'nee county that she had 'caused tho premature birth of tho child. About tho time tho child was born Dr. Flnlcy was called to attend tho young woman. Ho pronounced it dead. At tho solic itation of tho mother, It was reported, the doctor wrapped the child in a news paper wjjich was In tho room and .agreed to bury It. The address on tho newspaper was tho cause of the dis covery of the Idontlty of the mother of the child. The doctor, enrouto home, placed tho baby In a freight car, which was one of a long string that was In Toadlness to be pulled out. By a strange freak of fortune this one car was cut out of tho train and loft on tho side track. Miss Wilson was arrested and tho preliminary hearing was held be fore County Judge Barton. The lat ter released tho woman, holding that there was no law to punish a woman. In tho meantime a young man named 'Ilginfrltz admitted that he was the father of tho child and l tind Miss Wilson wore married. ' iVorittnl IIoiuIh Not Vnllil. A' town In Nebraska cannot Issue i bonds to secure the location of a now normal school. So .decided tho Ne braska supremo court. The case was 'that of the village of Alnsworth against State Auditor Weston for a writ of mandamus to compel tho auditor to register $10,000 worth of bonds re- cently voted by tho village. The bonds -were made payable to the state as a 'bonus should the now normal school bo located there. Tho court held that tho purpose for which the money to be 'raised was to bo used Is not within the meaning of tho statute allowing the Issuance of bonds for 'internal im provements. The bonds were issued by Alnsworth some time ago when the -normal school fight began to warm up. "When they were brought to tho state -auditor to be registered, the latter re-fused them, after getting tho opinion of 'Attorney General Prout as to tho legal ity of the Issue. Tho attorney general ..gave as his reason that the bonds were not legal, and was sustained by 'the supreme court. The action of tho rsnnrfinie court in refusing tho writ imay work a hardship on Alnsworth In tits effort to secure tho school, and It rmay knock out some of tho cherished tireams of several other towns that aare preparing to bid for the school. OnlcrN for O. A. II. Dopartmcnt Commander Lee S.
