THE Warsaw Record tells the following sad
story;
We have heard that there are one or two
families in destitute condition on Fox
Island, below the city. 1t has been reported
that child had died from starvation. But
we have been unable to trace the report to
an authentic source We hope however,
that the charitable citizens OF Warsaw-her
good Christian people-will at oEce look into
the matter, if they have not done so already,
and relieve the necessities of these persons,
lif they are in want.
Since the above was in type, vel learn from
Mr.. D. H. Cox the particulars of the suffer
ings of one family On Fox Island. 1t APP
pears thatbeug out of provisions for several
DAYS, they gathered greens, and lived upon
them. One uf the children, only Is months
old. almost famished for food, eat them
ravenously which caused its death. The
father came over to Warsaw, told Of the cons
ditiop of his family, and Messrs. Cox, Archer
and others interested themselves in behalf OF
these unfortunates. Through their efforts
some funds were raised, the poor child de-

the old distillery building in Lower Warsaw.
But lust think of little child dying of star
vatlon in this land Of plenty Is IT not
q terrible?
