For Charity's Sake.

Last Friday there arrived here from
Minnesota a family composed of hus-
band, wife and five small children. They
we're in very destitute condition, having
used up all their money coming here. As
they were not able to proceed farther, Su-
perintendent Wright, plying the unfortu-
nate family, ordered an emigrant car to be
put on the side-track and the family to be
placed therein until something could be
done. Meanwhile all of the children were
taken down with the measles, and through
the aid of a number of officials at the depot
they were furnished with medicine and
provisions. Yesterday afternoon Superin-
tendent Wright ordered an engine to be
attached to the car and it was drawn to
Guthries Station, and from thence the
destitute though lucky ones were re-
moved to the County Hospital in hack, a
permit having meanwhile been obtained
for them. Their destination is antelope.
