(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. June (Special.) Th Stat
Board of Public Land and Building haa
not yet decided when to permit the at
torneys representing Dr. Aldcn and Dr.
Nicholson in the Norfolk aaylum matter
to make their argument on the testimony
introduced. Governor Mickey upon hte re
turn to the city aald the matter waa up to
the board.
"I did what I think ahould have been
done when I aaked for the resignation of
the two physicians upon the evidence whleh
waa furnished me. Unfortunate people of
'Oils elate are sent te the asylums to be
cared for because, they are unable to care
for themselves. Nebraska cannot afford to
hare Ita wardi mlatreated, and If there la
any evidence that theae wards have been
ir. 1st res ted there ahould be a change In
the msssgernent.
Whet the board will do In the matter
or what ' recommendation It will make of
course I do not know. The evidence Riven
'to me of the practlcea at the Institution
'it monstrated conclusively that a change
In the management waa Imperative for the
Intereata of the patlenta.
"The fact that a patient waa atrong
enough to work in a blacksmith shop and
nine days later dlea after having been
beaten by attendanta I think warrants a
thorough Investigation and an overhauling
of the management of the Institution. Two
of the attendants employed at the Institu
tion had been discharged from another
atate Institution because of their cruelty
to Inmates. Only humane men should be
employed in the capacity of attendanta.
The stats pays them a salary to get them
to look after the unfortunate Inmates, and
as long aa I have authority there will be
no cruelty practiced In any atate institu
tion." The governor only smiled when asked
concerning Steward Peters' letter, saying
he had no use for the outfit and refused to
discuss It.
Governor Talks to Old Settlers.
Governor Mickey returned this morning
from Dewecso, where he addressed the old
settlers' pl nlc and enjoyed hlmaelf Im
mensely. The governor talked to the old
settlers nn the duty of the citizen and the
duty of the public official. "A public official
' who is under the Influence of corporations,
whether he be a democrat or a republican,
is a menace to the government," he told the
people of Deweese and he advised them
they owed it tjr themselves and td their
state to see that no euch officers were
elected in Nebraska. He asaured his hear
ers. either the people or the railroad would
control the. atate government and It waa
up to the people to decide which.

grsm.) Chris Koehlcr. a wealthy banker of
Hastings, Neb., pleaded guilty In the fed

and to a jail sentence of twelv hours. He
waa removed to the custody of the mar

Parkberry, and that the fencing which waa
upon government land existed when he
purchased from Dr. Parkberry. As soon as
the defendant waa notified by government
agents that he had government land In
closed he consulted the land official at

with their Instructions, and haa been re
