SICK AND HUNGRY FAMILIES.

They Arrive From Arkansas Penniless
and Are In Piteous Plight.
The city physician was called upon yes
terday to assist one of the most unfortun-
ate and destitute families in the city.
Last Wednesday William Carver, with
his wife, mother and four children, and
John Hand, with his wife and three chill
dren, arrived in Seattle from Arkansas.
The men had not cent. and
all were sick and hungry. The men
looked about the city for shanty,
to live in, and finally did find an empty
shack on the shores Of Lake Washington
about eight blocks north from Yeslcr
avenue. Though the room was only 1Oxl2
feet, the two families crowded in, and
when DR.. Heliker, assistant city physician,
heard of the case and.called at the shack
yesterday afternoon, he found there the
utmost misery.
Sick on the door was old Mrs. Carver,
aged about 50 years, Mrs. Hand and her
youngest child lay beside her, all three low
with pneumonia. The whole family were
coughing and were about ready to retire
to their beds. The old woman
and Mrs. Hand are not expected
to live DIR. Heliker gave the families med
icine and otherwise assisted them. He
will later make preparations to remove the
sick to . hospital where they can have
better care.
The men told the doctor that, when they
left for the West, they calculated to have
about $50 when they arrived, but they had
to pay it out to the railroad company on
s.excess baggage"

DEFENDING SUNDAY LAWS.
Protests Against Their Repeal Con
From Many Churches.

Protests Against Their Repeal Como
From Many Churches.
Senate bill No. l30,which repeats the law
providing for the observance of Sunday so
far as incorporated cities are concerned,
thus leaving it to the city council to pro-
vide regulations on that subject, has ex-
cited much oppositions among the relig-
ious community. The attention of the
Seattle ministers was called to the subject
through letter written on February IL by
Rev. I. B. Ford, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church at Olympia. to Rev. Levi
Gilbert, pastor of the First Methodist Epis-
lows:
bill has been introduced in the Senate to
amend our Sunday laws, and 1t means to wipe
them out 30 far as incorporated cities are con-
cerneq IL this bill, 5. b. i3e, should pass, all
"playhonses, theaters, cockpits games OF chance

Brother Denny in regard TO the matter, but

bands OF committee and win be considered
the first Of next week. What we want is pro-
tests against the passage Of this bill No. 100.
Your influence and that OF your church will be
much appreciated in this matter. The protests
ought to be in the first Of the week.
In response to this appeal Mr.. Gilbert
drew up the following petition to the legis-
lature for signature in the churches:
Learning that bill. known as senate bill No.
130 has been introduced in the Senate and is now
In the hands of a committee, and that the pur-
pose OF this bill is to amend, in their application
restrictions OF the present .Sunday law !, and to
grant to the worst elements a liberty that shall
mean demoralizing license, resulting in in
calculabie evils; we, the undersigned citizens Of
Seattle, WASH, earnestly petition your honorable
bodies against the proposed bill, and in the
name OF our city and homes, in the name of
order, respectahility and morality, unite our

CREIGHTON's GAME FOILED.
The Croton OH Patient Has EVIL De-
signs ON Jailer Farraher.

Hube Creighton, alias William Miller,
the burglar under sentence to five years in
the penitentiary, who SO cleverly escaped
from Jail last summer by playing the
smallpox dodge, has caused no end of
trouble since his recapture.
A few days ago Creighton stated to one
of his cell companions that he would ''lay
for Jailer Pat Farraher and, when an OPP
portunity offered itself, would brain him
with weapon and rush OUT and escape. A
trusty told the jailer about it and since
then close watch has been kept on him.
In the corridor of the jail has been kept
an old tiatiron, which the prisoners have
used to press their clothes with after wash
days. Yesterday the fiatiron was left on
window ledge. about four feet distant
from the cell where Creighton is
confined. Farraher had occasion to go
down into the Jail. As soon as he opened
the outside door he caught sight of Creigh-
ton between the bars. The burglar with
broom, had fished the flatiron from the
window with the handle and was just
about to catch it, when the jailer shouted
to him.
Creighton was badly frightened and let
the iron drop. The jailer will put him in
irons if he hears of any more threats, and
thus guard against any more trouble in the
future
