Lad is One of the Biggest Problems State Has to Contend With. Omaha , Feb. . ' , ' . Warren Hay/.lett , 11 l.S-year-old inmate of the state in- Justrial school at Kearney , was examlion i lied Tuesday afternoon by an expertof ; ! lieuist with ! i view to determining , ifllievi ; I ome special kind of treatment will aid n his reformation. The boy was irouglit to Omaha by C. H. Statute ! , iiiperintendent of the school , who is a lelegate to the conference of Charities md Coroctions. Hay/.lett Is one. of the biggest prob- ems at the school. He appears to lave formed an almost unbreakable nibit of breaking out of the institution md breaking into somebody's house r store. His mother believes a fall le had when a youngster which in- lured his head may lie responsible. Superintendent Slanuel says lie Is a al most likeable boy and that , except for his penchant for breaking out and get- ting into trouble he is a most tractable | member of the school. Once when he was brought back ho was subjected to severe punishment. He took it with I ! | smile and admitted that he had deserved - served it. The examination is being made by Dr. G. A. Young , former superintendent . the Norfolk hospital for the insane , and a specialist in nervous and mental diseases. Fire in Pierce Store. Pierce , Neb. , Feb. I ) . Special to The News : The building occupied by Henry lliickloman's furniture store was gutted by lire this afternoon. No other building suffered. The Hro start from a defective flue , it is thought. Sir. Huckleman was out for dinner when the blaze began. The building , brick structure a block long and twenty-two feet wide , was owned by Henry Hnckleman , sr. D. Still Working on Fifty-Men Plan. "The subscriptions received by the committee in the snowball campaign are as good if not better than the sub scriptions received during the Ilrst campaign for Y. SI. C. A. funds- . " That is the statement given out by one member of the four soliciting teams working among fifty loading business men of Norfolk who they be lieve should decide whether or not the building will bo completed at an early date. In comparing the subscriptions re cently published , this solicitor .alls at tention to the fact that the ? 100 sub scriptions arc as numerous as those of first campaign considering the time used during the last campaign. Slore than half as many $100 subscrip aha tions have been made up to this time in the entire first campaign. In reply to a question as to whether not the building would be complet , the committeemen declare it will , They believe the Norfolk people now reall/.e that the building is a necessity that it will be finished within a Ing short time. The campaign among the ion fifty Norfolk men has not yet been completed and when this work is done , and work on general subscriptions will dty started In real earnest. of on He Never Had a First Name. "Rink" Wright , a circus acrobat llv this winter in Norfolk and who married Sliss Uessle Ilrown of Stanton and taught her the mysteries of the trapeze , no\or had a "llrst" name. When ln > was born his father and mother disagreed , quite naturally as to what tbe baby's name should be. The disagreement was never smoothed over and coiii-oquently little Wright never received Ills given name. The story of how "Hlnk" finally ob tained the name by which he Is now known Is Interesting. As a lad he was loud of athletics and one of his favor ite pasttlmes was to "hang around" a skating rink. Some one called him "Hlnk" one day and the boys took it up and It was "Rink Wright" ever since. " 1 think it was my sister that really was the of ' ' " cause naming me 'Rink , says Wright. "The boys around the skating ring used to call me 'Little Rink , ' and I suppose my parents thought I was too good to name , so it went on for several years until my sin ter dnhbed ' ' " me 'Hlnk. The skating rink in which Wright got bis name Is In Newton , Kan. , where ho was born. His father , F. SI. Wright , now lives nt lloldrege. Neb. Fire at Valentine.
