the best of fellowship now pruvnlls between -
twoon lilniHulf and tlio superintendent ,
ami ended late last night , after a long ,
hard session , with the fact prolly pos
itively eatabllahod that Dame Hour-
Hay and Mrs. Humor , togolhur with
Mr. and MIH. 1'ornonal AnlmoHlly.hail
made a thorough trip around the state
of Nebraska , spreading bits of false
and unfounded gossip about Iho Nor
folk hospital for tlio Insane that acted
as a boomerang In effect.
After Dr. Nicholson , tlio assistant ,
superintendent , had completed bin tes
timony late In the afternoon , having
been on the stand from early morning ,
four attendants who had been Involved
In ono way and another , wore placed
on the stand. Two of- them , who
throw light on the Inslgnlllcnnt foun
dations for tlio full-grown rumors that
developed months later , told clear-cut
stories and corroborated the testimony
of Dr. Nicholson In which ho admitted
that there was nothing to back up the
charges ho had written In his letters
to the governor. Ono attendant testl-
( led to rough handling by a former-
attendant , who was discharged at the
time , and the oilier one gave various
and conflicting stories of rough hand
ling by Charge Attendant 15111s , which
Mr. Kills denied In u largo measure.
At 9 o'clock last night the board ad
journed until next Thursday morning
for the accommodation of Governor
Mickey's attorney , Mr. Stewart , who
had pressing business In Lincoln to
day.
day.At
At the next meeting the whole mat
ter will bo finished , and an effort will
bo made to have present Julius Alt-
schulor , to whom much of Ihc hearsay
has been traced , and Blair Goff , a for
mer attendant at Pierce , who was
present during the time that Incidents
are alleged to have occurred.
Governor Mickey and Attorney Gen-
unit minis unnvii iuii\uu uuiu urn-
coin yesterday noon and returned with
the stale board Ihls morning. Govern
or Mickey was In the Investigating
room only long enough to hear Dr.
Nicholson tosllfy that ho had gone
hunting on Sunday , at which point the
governor left the room and remained
In the hall and on the porch the rest
of the day. a
After testifying that good fellowship r
now prevails between himself and the
superintendent , and that ho Is perfect
ly satisfied with the quarters now
which ho complained of as persecution
last summer , Dr. Nicholson staled
Ibat ho had never made a record of
any kind for the purpose of keeping
facts from Ihe governor. Ho said he
did not lei Dr. Alden know anything
of Iho Wolfe leller , had never seen a
towel dragging Incident , and that If
the feeling which now prevails had
then prevailed , he would have told
Dr. Alden Instead of Iho governor of
things ho heard. Ho said Dr. Alden
had talked lo attendants accuseU of
cruelty and lhat he does not now
blame Alden for keeping employes
who wore accused but not proven to
bo guilty of cruelty. Attorney Doyle ,
who represented Dr. Nicholson , very
cleverly worked out Iho testimony that
Dr. Nicholson is now on good terms
with the superintendent and the fact
that the letlers containing charge ?
against Alden wont to Mickey as a re
sult of Mickey's request and not
through malice.
Alden Implored Careful Handling.
Earl Blakeman tesllfled that ho was
present during the Shockloy fight am
that Shockloy struck Byorly In th <
nose , who kicked back In defense. II
said Dr. Alden came In at the Urn
of lighting and cautioned the men t
handle Shockloy carefully. Ho sali
Shockloy was handled carefully and
that Byerly was excusable for kicking
for the reason that Shockloy was a
strong , heavy man.
Nicholson Approved Byerly.
NIghtwatch Byerly , ono of the men
accused of 'cruelty In Nicholson's let
ter , swore that ho separated Shockley
and his fellow-Inmate In their fight
and that Shockloy then fought the
whole ward , finally knocking Byerly
In the head. Dr. Nicholson told Byer
ly that ho was satisfied with Byorly's
treatment of patlenls. Byerly swore
that Julius Altschnlcr , who Is now
wanted for testimony , told him when
ho left that ho would make trouble for
Nicholson and Alden too. Ho never
heard of any cruelty In the Institu
tion.

Ellis Called.
KoroHt Kills , Iho charge attendant
mid one churned with gross cruelty ,
WIIHailed. . Hi * said Bhookluy was not
piiiilnln'il for Ills light. Ho had heard
that Mlnnlck WIIH rouish , Mliinlck hav
ing lofl the Institution. He denied
whipping old man Davis , swore there
wore bruises on Prossor's arm when
Iho patient arrived from Knox county
and Unit no violence was used on Iho
man. Ho never heard of violence In
Iho Ilalrd case , never heard of an order -
dor to beat the escaped pallonls when
they returned , and told how the towel
slory started.
Patient Tried Towel Suicide.
A patient Irled to hang himself with
a towel. Kills had trouble In getting
the towel off his neck , as Iho Inmalo
resisted. This probably started the
story.
Ho never took any sldos In tlio Al-
don-Nicholson controversy. Ho does
not feel kindly toward Nicholson be
cause of the untrue reports sent by
Nicholson lo thu governor. Ho said
the mailer of friction was generally
known and Unit attendanls wished the
doctors would got logolhor. Friction
caused Ihings lo run not as smoothly
as they might , lie never saw Frank
Bell drunk , but complained to the doc
tors of Altschnlor. Dr. Alden then told
AltHchulor to leave.
Greene Recommended Him.
Ho declined lhat profanity was not
general , and that lie swore some him
self. Ho never heard Alden swear at
a patient. Although Ellis Is one of
the men who , the governor charges ,
was kept after he ought to have boon
discharged , ho swore that ho had
worked In Institutions of the kind lit
Logansport. Ind. , Richmond , Ind. , and
Lincoln , Neb. Ho had never boon
discharged and had letters of recom
mendation from all three places. lie
came to Norfolk , recommended by Dr.
Greene of Lincoln.
Nicholson Fairly Faithful.
"Has Dr. Nicholson boon faithful In
performing his duties ? " was asked.
"W e 1 1 , yes , " replied the wit-
I10HH.
"Why do you hesitate ? " was asked.
"Well , ho has been fairly good , " said
Ellis. "I 1-avo thought at times that
ho might have done better. "
Mlnnlck , Now Gone , Was Rough.
Outside Watchman Cronk tosllfled
that former Attendant Mlnnlck was
rough , lie struck Patient McGee in
the stomach because McGee refused
to lie down , hit a second time for ris
ing and tlio third time , with a vile
name , struck McGee and laid him out
on Iho bed , Ihen raising his fool and
stamping McGee on the leg or In the
stomach.
Mlnulck had grabbed ono patient by
tlio hair , pushed him forward and
stretched the old man , a feeble pa
tient , out on his face. Then Mlnnlck
grabbed the patient up around the
neck and kicked him , bruising his
cheek with the shoo-point. Latei
Mtnnlck told of another attack , boast-
Ing , "You ought to have soon mo lay
lilm out ; I hit htm In the stomach. "
Alden Called Mlnnick Brute.
Mlnnlck loft Immediately after this
und Dr. Alden spoke of Mlnnlck as a
liruto.
Attendant Biggs , an old man with
forgetful mind who made statements
> n the stand and then directly contra
dieted himself , but who was Import
ant because many stories wore traced
to him , was sworn and presented In
evidence a typewritten statement o
things alleged to have happened. "As
a reward for reporting , my roslgna
lion was asked , " he wrote. On the
stand ho statc'd that ho was dlschargei
before ho reported anything.
Ho sold Ellis had told Patient Davis
to "sit down , G ( I you , " and strucl
him. "Now G d you , sit down or
I'll kick h out of you. " Presser
never loft the bed after that till car
rled out a corpse.
Ellis whipped Rowlett with a bugg >
whip and fisted a patient who enragei
Ellis. Ellis held FInnoy while Patlcn
Welser pounded him. Ellis had hi
hands on Balrd till Balrd cried , "Don1
kill me. "
Ellis Is a vulgar man. The patient
have good food and clothes.
Ellis denied the stories. Ho sal
hero was a buggy whip , owned by
an attendant who had won It at a
lance , with which ho played with Row-
ett , wrapping the whip about his
shoulders but only In fun. Rowlett ,
ailed "tho kid. " used the whip on at
tendants , who permitted It because
the patients had to have some fun.
Some patients go upstairs nt night ,
stripped , so that they can not put
tholr clothes In their bods. This Is
for cleanliness sake. Dr. Nicholson
ordered this , but Alden allowed them
to wear socks.

A Memorable Trek.
Back In 1870 a pitiful procossioi
wended Its slow way northward fron
Indian Territory , bound for the pral
les of Nebraska. There wore thlrt ;
Indians on foot and ono old wagon
Irawn by two wornout horses. In tin
wagon was tlio dead body of a child-
nn Indian boy. And the leader of tin
ittlo party was the father of the dcai
child ; the famous Ponca Indian chief
Standing Bear , n few years later to hi
lie best known Indian In the world-
anil to speak In every city In the cour
try In behalf of his own people.
Standing Boar's party was onrouti
.o the Nlobrara country In northon
Nebraska to bury the child In the an
clont burying grounds of the tribe
The party had loft Indian Territory fo
lhat purpose , although Its member
liad been refused permission to leav <
the reservation on which they had sol
Lied against their will.
Formerly the Poncas lived In nortl
ern Nebraska , along the Nlobrara
river. They had fought the Sioux In
behalf of the whites for years and had
lost 700 braves fighting the battles of
the whites. For this a previous secre
tary of tlio interior had given them ! n
fee simple , full tltlo to their reserva
tion and their lands.
Then Mr. Schurz was made secre
tary of the Interior and nt the point
of the bayonet had driven the Poncas
down Into Indian Territory , depriving
them of the lands for which they held
government deeds. The Poncas were
loft months without rations in the now
country and more than one-third of
thorn died while there. Among those
who died wns the son of the old chief
Standing Bear. The chief refused to
have the llttlo boy burled In the
strange country , but Instead , gather
ing a few members of his tribe , ho
started for the ancient hunting grounds
of his tribe , Intending to bury the
child where generations of Ponca
chiefs lay.
Schurz heard of the runaways and
through the war department tele
graphed General Crook , In Omaha , to
arrest tlio Indians and return them to
the Indian Territory. But the chief
of the Omahas , Iron Eye , went to
moot the Poncas and offered them n
refuge on the Omaha reservation.
"Wo have all the land Standing Bear
mil his people wish for ; wo have corn
md meat in plenty ; como live with
is , " said Iron Eye.
But the government , through Schurz ,
said "No. " So Crook arrested the old
chief and brought him and his follow
ers down to Omaha. And with thorn
came the wagon bearing the dead
child.
Planning a Great Campaign.
Standing Bear told Crook his Indl
ddual story. The great Indian flghtoi
know the general history of the In
linns and was already Indignant nl
their treatment , but the treatment ac
corded Standing Bear was too mucl
and oven the stern warrior rebelled
That night Crook came Into Oinahr
and hod an all night's conference will
Tibbies , them an editorial writer on t
newspaper. A campaign of Indians
rights wns mapped out and both mei
started out the next day to carry ou
their parts. Crook was to delay re
turning the Indians to Indian Terrl
tory until a writ of habeas corpu
could bo asked for from the Unltei
States court on the grounds that tin
constitution , In the fourteenth amenel
mcnt guaranteed to all persons benIn
In the United States equal protectloi
of the law.
Tibbies looked out for the legal em
of the deal. He went to John L. Wet
-tor , then a strugKllnn , unknown young
lawyer , laid his case hcforo him and
lied him to defend the rights of the
Indian.
"Tlieio IH no money In It , but there
IH fame , honor and glory , " said Tib-
lilos.
Webster took the ca o and asked
ludgo A. J. Popploton , then general
counsel for the Union Pacific , to as
sist him In making the argument.
Popploton agreed and then a writ of
hnhciM corpus was applied for In the
United Stoles court at Omaha , over
which presided Judge Dundy.
The Famous Trial.
It was the most notable trial over
brought In the west and In fact , the
scope was as wide as any over tried
In the United States , for by Its deci
sion 100,000 people wore made citi
zens.
Thomas II. Tibbies attended over }
session of the court. Hear , In his own
words , what ho has to say of It :
The courtroom wns crowded with
fashionably dressed women and the
clergy , whlcli had been gicatly stirred
by the Incident , were there In force.
Lawyers , every ono In Nebraska
ka and many from the big eastern
cities ; business men ; General Crook
and his staff In their dress uniforms
( this was one of the few times In his
llfo that Crook wore full dress In
public ) ; and the Indians themselves ,
In tholr gaudy colors. The courtroom
was n galaxy of brilliancy.
"On one side stood the army officers ,
the brilliantly dressed women and the
white people ; on the other was Stand
ing Bear , In his official robes as chief
of the Poncas , and with him wore his
leading men. Far back In the audi
ence , shrinking from observation , was
an Indian girl who afterwards became
famous as a lecturer In England and
America. She was later known on
both continents by a translation of her
Indian name , In-st-the-am-ba , Bright
Eyes.
"Attorney Poppleton's argument was
carefully prepared and consumed six
teen hours In the delivering , occupying
the attention of the court for two days.
On tlio third day Mr. Webster spoke
for six houis. And during all the pro
ceedings the courtroom was packed
with the beauty and culture of the
city.
"Towards the close of the trial the
situation became tense. As the
wrongs Inflicted on tlio Indians were
described by the attorneys , Indigna
tion was often at wliito heat and the
Judge made no attempt at suppressing
the applause which broke out from
time to time. For tlio department , Mr.
I ambertson mndo a short address , but
was listened to In silence.
"It wns late In the afternoon when
the trial drew to a close. The excite
ment had been Increasing , but It
reached a height not before felt when
Judge Dundy announced that Chief
Standing Bear would bo allowed to
make a speech In bis own behalf. Not
one In that audience beside the army
oillcers and Mr. Tibbies had overheard
an oration by an Indian. All of them
had read of the eloquence of Red Jack
et and Logan and they sat there won
dering If the mild looking old man ,
with the lines of suffering and sorrow
on his brow and cheek , dressed in the
nil roues or an Indian duct , could
make a speech nt all. It happened
hat there was a good interpreter pres
ent one who was used to 'Chief Talk. '
An Indian's Great Speech.
"Standing Bear arose. Half facing
he audience , ho held out his right
mud and stood motionless so long
thai the stillness of death which had
settled down on the audience became
almost unbearable. At last , looking up
at the Judge , ho said :
" 'That hand Is not the color of
yours , but If I prick It , the blood will
How and I shall feel pain. The blood
s of the same color as yours. God
nade mo and I am a man. I never
committed any crime. If I had , 1
would not stand here to make a de
fense. I would suffer the punishment
and make no complaint'
"Still standing , half facing the au-
llenco , he looked past the Judge out
of a window as If gazing upon some
thing far In the distance , and contin
ued :
' 'I seem to bo standing on the high
banks of a great river with my wife
and llttlo girl at my side. I cannot
cross the river and Impassable cliffs
arise behind mo. I hear tlio nolso of
great waters ; I look and see a flood
coming. The waters rise to our feet
and then to our knees. My llttlo girl
stretches her hands towards mo and
says : "save me. "
" 'I stand whore no member of my
race over ctood before. There Is no
tradition to guide me. The chiefs who
preceded mo knew nothing of the cir
cumstances that surround mo. I hear
only my llttlo girl say : "save mo. " In
despair I look towards the cliffs behind
me and I seem to see a dim trail that
may lead to a way of life. But no
Indian over passed over that trail. It
looks to bo Impassable. I make the
attempt. I take my child by the hand
and my wife follows' after me. Our
hands and our feet are torn by the
sharp rocks and our trail is marked
by our blood. At last I see a rift In
the rocks. A llttlo way beyond there
arc green prairies. The swift running
water , the Nlobrara , pours down between -
tween the green hills. There arc the
graves of my fathers. There again we
will pitch our tepee and build oui
fires. I see the light of the world and
of liberty Just nhead. '
"The old chief became silent ngalr
and after an appreciable pause , he
turned towards the Judge with sucl
a look of pathos and suffering on hi !
face that none who saw It will forget
and said :
" 'But In the center of the path then
.stands a man. Behind him I see sol
I dlers In number like the leaves of thi
trees. If that man gives me pr > rinls
Mon I may pn * on to llfo and liberty.
If ho refutes , I must go back and sink
beneath the * flood. '
"Then , In n lower tone : 'You nro
that man. '
"There was silence In the court as
the old chief sat down. Some tears
ran down over the Judge's face. Gen
eral Crook leaned forward and covered
his face with his hands. Some of the
ladles sobbed.
"All nt once that audience by ono
common Impulse rose to Its feet and
inch n shout went up as was never
heard In n Nebraska courtroom. No
( ino heard Judge Dundy say 'court Is
dismissed. ' There wns a rush for
Standing Bear. The first to roach him
was General Crook. I was second.
The ladles flocked round him and for
an hour Standing Bear held a recep
tion.
"A few days afterwards Judge Dun
dy handed down his famous decision
In which ho announced that an Indian
wai n 'person1 and was entitled to the
protection of the law. Standing Bear
and his followers were set free , and
with his old wagon and the body of
tlio dead child , ho went back to the
hunting grounds of his fathers and
burled the boy with tribal honors. It
was the very first time an Indian was
ever permitted to appear In court and
have his rights tried. "
Glad Schurz Is Dead.
Up at the Ponca reservation there Is
an old white bended Indian ho Is the
only known really white headed Indian ,
too. It Is Standing Bear old and de
crepit. But lie remembers Carl Schurz
and still blnmcB him for much of the
hardships through which the western
Indians passed.
When told of the death of Schurz ,
the old man smoked a full minute be
fore answering the ono word of Eng
lish which ho ever uses :
"Good. "
