LITTLE GEORGIE DORSEY , AGED
4 , STRUCK BY A HORSE.
PLAYING IN FRONT OF HOME
A Team of Horses , Frightened by the
Rattling of Tin Cans at Their Ears ,
Swerved Out a Little From the Road
and George Was Too Near.
[ Prom Wednesday's Dnlly.J
Little four-year-old Georgia Dorsey ,
sou of Conductor and Mrs. Jack Uor-
sey of Norfolk , while playing i the
road in front of his father's house on
South Kourth street , was struck by
a passing horse which was frightened
by children , and died Inter last night
us a result of iv ruptured spleen.
The horse which struck the llttlo fel
low was one of the team drawing ono
of the United States mall wagons. The
horse shied out of the road when a
cluster of children on the other side
of the road rattled tin cans , and the
little Dorsey lad was close enough to
the center of the street to bo struck
when the horse jumped. There was
only a slight mark on the child's body
but it is believed by Dr. Tashjcan , who
attended the case , that the spleen and
perhaps some other organ was ruptur
ed and that the boy bled to death. The
little victim suffered such a very
severe nervous shock that an opera
tion was out of the question.
No Blame Attached to Driver.
The children wore playing merrily
In the street after supper and the
evening grew dark. Shortly after 8
o'clock the United States mall wagon ,
carrying mall to the postoflce fiom
the Ulnok Hills passenger train which
had just arrived at the Junction de
pot from the east , came along Its usual
route on Fourth street , W. J. Barnes
driving. Mr. LJurnes saw that the
children were all out of his path and
away from the center of the road , so
ihat they could not be hurt , and nat
urally drove on toward the postolllce.
Just as the team came alongside the
crowd of children , some of them on
one side of the road began rattling
tin cans and making a furious noise
and clatter. The sudden turmoil frigh
tened the horses and they shied out
a little on the other side of the road.
It chanced that on this other side
stood little Georgie Dorsey and so
close to the center of the street was
he that , when the horse swerved a
trifle from its course , the small boy
was in the way. One of the children
who saw the accident says that the
horse's knee struck Georgie in the
stomach. It all happened before Mr.
Barnes could possibly rein in the
frightened team , and , Indeed , before
he realized that there was a child on
that side of the rood at all.
In fact it was not until after he
had reached the postoillce that Mr.
Barnes leained of the accident , and
he recalled nothing that Indicated a
child being struck at the time. Chll
dren playing in the street said it was
a mall wagon that came along , and
Mr. Barnes has taken their word for
it that it was his horse that struck the
child.
"As I came along that street , " snid
Mr. Barnes , "I noticed a crowd of
children ahead and also a canopy-
topped buggy. The buggy turned out
to the right when It neared the chil
dren , and apparently stopped. I
therefore turned a little to the left
and , just as 1 reached the children ,
driving aiound the other wagon , the
crowd began to rattle tin cans and one
can was thrown on one of my horses ,
bumping down from the animal's back
to the tongue between the team. This
gave the horses a fright , and I pre
sume that it was then that the horse
jumped out to the side. "
After he reached the post-office , Mr.
Barnes was told that a child had been
hurt and that probably his wagon did
it. When he heard of the death he
was dumfounded.
Mr. Barnes drives slowly and Is one
of the most careful drivers in Nor
folk.
"We blame no one , " said Mr. Dor
sey. "It was an accident and no ono
'
Is 'to be blamed at all. "
It was clearly an accident for which
neither the driver nor the horses were
in the slightest degree responsible ,
and the parents of the little victim ,
though heartbroken with their sad
bereavment , attach no blame whatever
to Mr. Barnes.
Mr. Barnes Almost Prostrate.
But In spite of the fact that ho Is
not held In any way responsible for
the accident , Mr. Barnes is almost
prostrate with grief over the affair
nncl mourns the death fully ns much
as if it wore a boy of his own. He
can not reconcile himself to his sorrow
and his nerves are all undone today
as a result of the sad affair.
The child lived about three hours
and a half after being struck , suc
cumbing at about 11:30 : last night.
Five children survive in the family
of Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey. Mr. Dorsoy
Is one of the well known conductors
on the Northwestern railroad with
headquarters In Norfolk. The many
friends of the family In this community
sympathize deeply In the sad affliction
nnd the many friends of Mr. Barnes
deeply sympathize with him , too , be
cause of the accident and because of
his own unremitting grief.
Funeral services over the remains
of the little Dorsey boy will bo held
from the family home , 707 South
Fourth street , at 1:30 : o'clock and from
the Sacred Heart church , Father
Walsh In charge , at 2 tomorrow after
noon. Interment will bo In Prospect
Hill cemetery.

PITFALLS IN BRYAN'S NEW PET
J. J. Hill Finds Three Serious Objec
tions to Government Ownership.
Now York , Sept. 5. Many inoro
messages from senators , governors ,
representatives and railroad presi
dents have been received , expressing
disapproval of Mr. Bryan's plnn of
government and state ownership of
railroads.
James J , Hill , president of the
Great Northern , wont into the subject
In some detail , declaring that govern
ment ownership would introduce "un
paralleled corruption" into railroad
operation and politics. The same-.view
In another way was expressed by
President Mellon of the Now York ,
Now Haven Hartford railroad. Ho
expressed the opinion that a private
corporation could ho Induced to man
age our postolllco department and
run It at less expense and with greater
satisfaction to the public than It is
run at present.
Three Objections.
Following are the messages received
today :
James J. Hill Three main objec
tions to Mr. Bryan's plans for govern
ment ownership of railroads suggest
themselves at once. Ono economic ,
one moral , one political. Nowhere in
the world Is any enterprise conducted
ns cheaply under public ns under prlv-
ate control. Government ownership
means decreased efllclcncy with in
creased cost. This perpetual burden
must be borne by the people. The
actions brought against federal depart
ment olllcials , and the Investigation
lountl necessary within the last few
vcirs discloses a state of morals In
public life that no actual rai'road
management would tolerate In its em
ploy. The railway standard with
government ownership for its oppor
tunity would introduce unpninllcled
corruption into railroad operation and
politics. Control by any political party
of the ways , hours and opportunities
nf the army of railroad employees
would Insure to it an Indefinite lease
) f power. Elections would become a
7arre and the transfer of power forci-
iile by revolution. These are only the
leading objections to n proposal that
ins nothing to recommend it.
Objectionable to All.
Phailes S. Mellon From the stand
point of a security holder there would
seem to be little object. The prices
paid would in all probability be ample
compensation Fiom the standpoin *
of a shipper and traveler , consldoilng
government service to be of the char
acter furnished by our postofi ! < .o de
partment , It would be less satisfactory ,
and a source of endless co'itplatiit.
But for the monopoly granted to the
government in the transporlntio" of
the mails there would be corporations
formed that would undertake thu ser
vice and handle the same in compe
tition much more efllciontlv , economi
cally and to the better satisfaction of
the public served. A corporation could
be quickly formed that would contract
to handle the business of th postoffice
department at a profit to tbe govern
ment and at a satisfactory return also
to its stockholders. From the stand
rolnt of a citizen , believing in the
pies-out form of government and hop
iiii ; the same may endure , it would
seem most deplorable , in that ilouId
put an army of ofllcials and etnplovcej
into tit sca'os ' of patronage ai.l : set
a standard of pull in place of one of
efficiency. With such an army well
drilled , as It would become In time ,
any administration so disposed could
prepetuate itself and elections be more
of a farce than they now are in some
sections of or. country. This republic
will endure longer on the theory of
efficient regulation of public utilities
than on that of ownership , with the
attendant jobbery of perhaps consoli
dation nnd the strife of localities for
ascendancy in trade , with the monopo
lization and graft necessary to go in
partnership with the same. Much n&
there is to deplore In corporate man
agement at the present there is a
power to which appeal can bo made
for redress , but with government
ownership the mess would be Infinitely
worse , would bo all our own and we
be deprived even of the poor satisfac
tlon at which to rail , for those who
rail at what they themselves have set
upon a pedestal , write themselves
fools Indeed.
Indeed.Others
Others Against It.
Governor A. E. Mead of Washington
I am not in harmony with Mr. Bry
an's ideas on government ownership
of railroads.
Senator H. C. Lodge I am opposed
to the government ownership of rail
roads and have expressed my opposi
tion strongly , both in the senate and
in speeches elsewhere. I believe that
this policy , If carried into effect ,
would be productive of great disaster
and would revolutionize our system
of free popular government , which has
been built up and maintained with
such great ability nnd by so many
sacrifices.
Senator Morgan , C. Bulkcney I
have not even read Mr. Bryan's
spooch.
Senator A. J. McLaurln I favor and
support Bryan for president , but op
pose government ownership of rail
roads.

STOLEN PIPES WORTH $40.
Smoke Clouds are Curling Up From
Stolen Pipe Bowls Today.
Smoke clouds guilty of rising from
stolen pipes are not uncommon in
Norfolk today. Pipes to the extent of
$40 worth , which were stolen from
he sample case of a Sioux City drum
mer in Norfolk , have been sold about
own at remarkably low prices and
the smokers who bought are now en
joying high priced luxury at low cost.
The commercial traveler who lost
ho pipes appeared before County At
torney Koenlgstoln and requested that
all of the purchasers of the stolen
pipes be arrested on a charge of re
ceiving stolen property. Such action
was not within the law's limits , how
ever , and could not bo taken. Then
the manager of the wholesale house
In Sioux City dropped in and discussed
sod methods of recovering the pipes
but did not take action. The thief is
still uncnught.

YOU MAY BUY A "RESULT"
Almost as Simply and Easily as a Ha

It through a "situation wanted" ad.
The employer who would like to find
better workers may buy that result by
buying a little want ad. space.
A person who would rather have a
certain sum of money in the bank than
to own some particular thing may buy
that result by buying a little want ad

HORSES THAT WERE IN NORFOLK
Young Pilgrim and Surena , Both Fa
vorites Here , are at Lincoln.
Young Pilgrim , the bountiful dark
jay running horse which won every-
hing hands-down In ttie Norfolk meet ,
vas picked for a winner In the first
Nebraska derby at Lincoln on Tuesday
of this week , and lost In an exciting
finish. Surona , the guldcless wonder
vliich made such a hit here and at
Jattlo Creek , lowered his Battle
Creek record of 2:18 : by going in
2:17t. : . Concerning the two horses ,
ho State Journal says :
In one of the most exciting finishes
n a running race ever seen on a Lin
coln track , Electric Spark , yesterday
came under the wire a full length
ahead of Young Pilgrim , the favorite ,
winning the first Nebraska derby. The
race was ono to arouse the spectators
and when the llttlo bay mare that
pulled first money away from the much
touted Lincoln horse , was led back be
tore the grand stand after the brllllaul
Imrst of speed , the big crowd cheered
enthusiastically.
Before the start , while the horses
wore parading before the grand stand
very llttlo attention was paid the darl
bay mare , Electric Spark. Mead
wtio had the mount , was himself no
very confident of the outcome , thotigl
ho promised his friends that he would
bring all possible speed out of the
filly. Young Pilgrim was picked b >
many as the horse In best trim ant
with the host chance of winning. Inbreeding
brooding lines and past form , ho look
ed to bo ono of the most promlnen
among the starters. Many of his fol
lowers were offering 2 to 1 upon hln
as against the field.
Dr. Tom was scheduled to pace a
mlle iinguMcd but ho was not In form
and despite his hobbles , Insisted on
