The Marion Co. Voter gives the fol
lowing account of a dweller i'll caves,
named Martin: ale is now living in
cave or hole in the side Of hill, and is
SO i'll, with typhoid pneumonia, that he
cannot be removed at present The
neighbors have fitted up the cave as com
Portable rs possible. Martins wife died
some time ago. He has three children,
from to II years of age. The two
younger ones live with him in the cave,
and the other one lives with some family
near. Martin is abjectly poor, and has
been ill or ailing for some time. The
county will extend relief, we suppose.
There is certainly something queer about
this case, for there can be no necessity
for any mans living in such manner
and length of time in this country
