P -2 NVESTIGATE THE HOSPITAL Conditions Not Ideal, but Hardly 80 Bad is Has Been Fainted. STIRS UP COMMISSIONER CONNOLLY !o Money to Par Kitra 5 arses, bat Commissioner's Father Has a Wis ter Job aa Gardener at Inatltatloa. The Board of County Commissioner met at its chambers at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and then, on motion of Connolly, chairman of the charity committee, ad- ourned to tho rountj hospital and there held an "Investlgstlon" of the conditions prevailing at this Institution. This inves- lgatlon served to prove Just two things. First, that some religious workers who have often visited the institution believe there Is Immediate snd urgent need of sn additional nurse for the male ward and more rigid discipline of the entire fore ot amploye, with close surveillance of the Inmates, that they may be permitted to receive no liquor. Second, that Commissioner Connolly con. aiders it none of Will Brown' business that Mr. Connolly's venerable father Is tb man who la drawing $25 per month snd his llv. ng for serving as gardener through th winter months as well as th summer months. The evidence brought out In the Investi gation lacked a great deal of Justifying tha sensational character given the charge by an evening publication, but both Rev. C.'H. Young of 8t. John's Episcopal church, and Will rn-own of th St. Andrew's society. ho were the chief complainants, asked to b excused from responsibility for tho "yel lowish" Interpretation of their remarks, snd explained to The Be that It had been their purpoae merely to call attention to need In certain department and not to as sail the( institution in general. 1 bat Rev, l oans; Raw. In tbs course of the Investlgstlon, Rev. Toung waa the first to testify. He related that he had observed neglect of some of the mala patients at critical times In their sickness and that he had observed also some drunkenness among the inmates on Christmas day. Will Brown substantiated these charges. explaining more explicitly that the help, less had not been washed nor had their linen changed often enough to keep them even decent. Mrs. Prless further stated that George Sayres, consumptive, had been a partlcu larly distressing caae and that her husband bad been complaining of being beaten dur ing her absence, but said that Mrs. Henry Oest bsd been sn excellent matron. County Physician Lee Van Camp said he did not notice material difference In the conditions now and those prevailing when he waa Intern, but that he then bad two nurses. Including one whose work he had shouldered. In part, that the latter might attend medical school. Dr. W. F. Milroy thought the conditions occasionally might be criticised, but that in a general way the hospital has been very creditably conducted. Dr. Stokea of the surgical staff said he thought this hospital comparea favorably with that of Cook county, Illinois. Rev. Young Interpolated the statement that he has seen vermin crawling on th pillows of the patients. H. O. Manvllle said he had seen the closet bowls In a filthy condition, evidently from neglect. Commissioner Ostrom stated that he thought the complainants. If they desired merely more attendants at the hospltel, should have approached the board In per- son lnstesd of leaping Into print. Hits at Connolly, 1 Commissioner Connolly made tb an nouncement, hitherto kept secret, that the nurse-druggist had realgned some time sgo. Dut that the bosrd bad refused to accept such resignation because not yet able to find anyone willing to tske his plsce at the (alary offered. Then came th claah of the day. "What Is the salary?" asked Will Brown. "It la 25 per month and hia living here.1 said Chairman Connolly of the chsrity committee. "Well, couldn't there be a lopping off somewhere else to increase the pay for this work? was Brown's next question. "I don't know of sny," snswered Con nolly. "Haven't you a gardener here now?" "Yes." "What does he get?" "The same aalary as the other." "What is his name?" "Well, Mr. Brown, I will answer that by saying that it Is none of your business. He Is not under investigation. Now do you feel satisfied?" "Yes," answered Brown serenely. "I knew bis name without asking." "I thought you did." responded Con nolly, snd very shortly the hearing ad journed to the court house. Nothing was done there. It Is said that Ostrom was resdy to move to employ sn otber nurse, but that tha other commis sioners prefer not to take the action Just at this time. When Mr. Brown wss asked what the complainant would do next, he anawered that they would wait to see what the board doea and If It does nothing, probubly will 'stir it up again." A Champion Healer.

CHARLES RUSH HAS TROUBLE Yessg Sberldnn County Farmer Broasjbt to Omaha on Serious Chars;. y Under ths escort of a United State dep uty marshal last evening, Charles Rush, a resident of Bherldao county, was brought to thla city and placed In ths custody ot Bber Iff Power to await hla trial in tbs United States district court on ths charga of furn ishing liquor to Indians of tbs Pins Ridge agency. On ths same trsln which brought the officer and prisoner to this city was a prominent legal light of Sheridan county. who asserts that tha action is oas of sem Ing persecution sgslnst Rush sad not proae cutlcra, In which hs has been souultted once of th same charge, which Is now resting against him. "Charles Rush resides oa tbs rosd run nlng between the Pins Kidgs agsncy sad Rushvllle," hs said to a Bee reporter laat night. "Thla rosd is ons over which th freight for ths agency and also tha Indian supplies are hauled. Rush has resided there during the laat eighteen years and haa borne an excellent reputation as aa industrious honest and law sbtdlng citlien. About three months ago Boss Fsrmer 8moot of ths agency complained to tha county attorney of Sheridan county that Rush had sold hlsky to three certain Indiana. His com plaint was taken. Ruah waa arrested, wslved his examination snd wss bound over to the district court. This action was followed by ths county attorney fling a complaint that Kusb had unlawfully kept liquor at hla place for ssls. On this eaargs hs was ar reated. waived examination and gavs bonds. When Sheriff Houses wnt to ssrvs ths wsr rant, which commanded that hs make search ot th premises, bs found two psr tlally filled bottles, less than one-half a gallon, on Ruah's premises. "At the Isat session ot ths district court, over which Judge Westover presided. Rush wss vigorously prosecuted and was promptly acquitted. He wss rightfully scqultted. too. because the testimony of ths three Indi ans, who said he had given them the liquor, could not be corroboriied In a single in stance, aa they were kept spsrt and wer ot permitted to hear each other's testi mony. Neither wss the testimony which they gsve convincing. Three white wit- nesses were sworn In Rush's behslf, who proved thst three Indlsns stopped at the defendant's home snd wstered their horses at his well, snd thst he hsd bad no trans actions with them whatever. "Before Rush wss tried In th district court at Sheridan county the boss fartrr of th agency, or someone else, csused this same transaction to be investigated by the I'nlted States grand Jury with the result that he wss sfterwsrds tried and acqu'tted. "Last Monday the United States deputy marshal went to Ruah's home snd arrested him, bringing him to Omsbs tonight for trial. "Rush Is sn industrious, hsrdworklng young farmer, who bears an excellent repu. tstlon snd takes good care of his family. By frugal saving and careful living be has succeeded In acquiring three-quarters of a section of Isnd snd considerable live stock to ahow for years' of lnduatry. He has the sympathy of his neighbors, who think he Is being persecuted Instead of prosecuted. Hs has disposed of nearly half his rattle to acquire funds with wnlch he fought tor tls defense In th other cases. He will prob. ably havs to dispose f hi lsnd now to defend himself In this ess In the Vnlted States district court."
