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.
