County Commissioner Marshall was
called to Kagle, Friday morning, to
investigate the case of a pnor and

considered would be better off at the
county poor farm. The man was poor
because he contributed too freely to

drink, although he had swallowed
enough to ruin his insides. Mr. Mar
shall thinks the asylum the best place
for such subjects, as when they are
sent to the poor farm and get able to
leave, start out for the tirst saloon to

her. i
Among many other things the coin- i
plaint alleges that the woman. Lou i
layior. is an unmarried woman, hav
ing four children from one' and a half
years to twelve years of age, and that
she is an immoral and lewd woman,
and that the children are growing up
without proper education and exposed
to vice, and asking that the court
place the children in the care of the
Nebraska Childrens' Home.
The following named witnesses were
summoned: Lou Taylor, the mother
of the children, Joe Fitzgerald. Miss
Allen, I-:. L. House. C. A. Welrly, L.
A.Tyson. Fearl Lutz. Mr. and Mrs.
Wesley Tulene, and Mrs. Taylor,
grandmother of the children.
Judge Travis, after hearing all the
testimony, pro and con. decided that
all but the youngest child should be
sent to the Childrens' Home. We un
derstand, however,that an appeal will
be taken.
We are here reminded of a remark
made by an old resident in reference
to this case. He said that "herein
was a case that should have attracted
the attention of the officers of the law
several years since, and not wait un
til the children had almost become of
that age that they could be of some
help to their mother. If they are sent
to the Orphan's home they will go
from there out into the world where
it is extremely doubtful that they w ill
tlnd a home that will be one-half as
good as that given them under the
protecting wing of a mother, even
though she has been guilty of illegiti
mate co-habitation. ?"
The Journal is inclined to believe
with this oid resident, and we also be
lieve that as long as the children have
registered no complaint but have sig
nified their willingness to remain with
their mother, they should be allowed
the privilege of so doing.
