et Sunday.

Thursday morning there was a gcnor-
al exodus of Norfolk people from the
city to spend the holiday with north
.
Nebraska neighbors. Westbound

BIGGEST EXPRESS DAY NORFOLK
EVER KNEW.
DRAYS BROUGHT INTO SERVICE
Seventeen Drayloads of Express , Be
sides That Hauled on the Regular
Express Wagons , Were Taken Out
of Norfolk Day Before Fourth.
Last Wednesday broke all records
for business handled out of the Nor
folk express office. Neither the
Christmas rush nor the business of
previous Fourths could compare with
the volume of business that was nan-
died out of Norfolk on the day before
the Fourth. A new record was estab
lished.
The regular express wagons were
crowded to ono side and drays called
Into service. Ton drayloads of express
were hauled to the noon trains
Wednesday. Four more drayloads
were hauled down In the evening ,
whllo three more had been carried
early In the morning.
Ice cream and bakery supplies fur
nished by Norfolk for the Northwest's
celebration of the Fourth accounted
for the big day. The principal shippers -
pers out of this city were the bakeries ,
Ice cream plants and Norfolk steam
bakery.
The volume of express business out
of Norfolk Wednesday and the estab
lishment of a.new record In the local
office was Indicative of Norfolk's grow
ing Importance in relation to the
northwest. Yesterday Norfolk sup
plied the light refreshments for most
of the celebrations In northern Ne
braska and southern South Dakota.
Burke , S. D. , and other now towns test
the north were among the city's besl
stm
customers In the purchase of Ice cream
supplies. Moro towns than usual eel
ebrated In the northwest and the
growth and prosperity of the country
brought an Increase of business.
Every express messenger was In
service Wednesday and when the , sup
ply of express cars ran short other
cars wore turned over to the use of
the express companies. Yesterday
was another big day but the express
business did not approach the record
figures mode Wednesday.
PONCA YOUNG MAN DISCHARGED
FROM INSANE HOSPITAL.
HE WAS TRIED FOR MURDER
GIRL WHO REJECTED HIM WAS
KILLED ON WEDDING EVE.
IN HOSPITAL THREE MONTHS
The Young Man Who Was Held for
Murdering Bessie Newton at Ponca
on the Evening of February 5 , Has
Returned to His Home.
Ponca , Neb. , July 2. Special to The
News : Frank Brink , recently tried
and acquitted of the murder of his
former sweetheart , Besslo Newton , and
who was sent to the Norfolk Insane
hospital April 1 , returned to his home
In Ponca last night a free man.
It was on the night of Tuesday , Feb
ruary 5 , that Bessie Newton of this
place was shot and murdered in her
own homo by a young man who called
at the house. A halt' hour later Frank
Brink , who had sought the hand of
the Newton girl and been rejected ,
fired a bullet Into his own brain. The
girl was to have been married the
next night to Edward O'Donnell from
Iowa. Brink had threatened to kill
the girl and had declared she never
would marry O'Donnell.
Was Held For Murder.
Frank Brink was held by the coron
er's Jury for the murder. For a time
it was thought ho would die from his
self-inflicted wound but he recovered.
Ho was tried In Dlxon county for the
murder. The Jury of laymen declared
him Insane and then acquitted him of
the charge of murder. People In Pen
ca never thought for a minute that
Frank Brink was insane.
Brink was sent to the Norfolk in
sane hospital. At that Institution
there was found little to sustain the
theory that Brink was Insane.
Brink went to the hospital April 1.
On July 1 just three months after
ward to a day he was discharged
from the institution as cured and Is
a free man.
Inquiry at the state hospital for the
insane here In regard to the discharge
of Frank Brink , the young man re
cently tried In Dlxon county for mur
dering his sweetheart , Bessie Newton ,
on the eve of her wedding to another
man , developed the fact that Brink
left the hospital yesterday for Ponca ,
pronounced of sound mind.
Brink was a good looking young
fellow , well dressed and bright.
"Brainstorm" was his plea In defense.
People at Ponca showed some indif
ference In the outcome of the trial
but most of them admit that they nev
er saw signs of insanity in Brink.
