a building without any improvements.
Now it is one of the finest homes and
worth as many thousand as he paid
hundreds. So much for enterprise and

AN UNFORTUNATE FAMILY.
Their Main support Il III with Tuber-
culosis.

Mr.. Jerome CatIin learned yesterday that
Frank Vance, young man with . wife and
mother dependent upon him for support, was
very Ill with tuberculosis at bis house, corner of
Oak street and Valley avenue, North Seattle.
Mr. Catlin, who has Investigated, pronouncss
the case q worthy one.
Last February Mr.. Vance, who for two years
had beea employed By W. r. Bentley at ia
Commercial street, took sick with the grip,
which ultimately turned into light type of
consumption. DR.. F. s. Coe attended him and
month ago the young man rallied
euffciently TO sit up in bad
Since then his improvement has been
very slow, but il 10 thought he will recover en-
tirely. In the event that be does recover it will
be long time before he is able to return 20
work and aid In the support of his family. In
tue meantime they are dependent upon Others
for the necessities OF life. Mr.. Bentley. the
young mans employer, has allowed him 70
overdraw his wages almost 800, while the house
rent is now already delinquent four months.
Mrs. Vance, the young mans mother, draws .
pension OF sl2 per month from the government
for the death OF her husband during the war.
He was killed at the battle of Champion Hill
while fighting with the Twenty fourth iowa
The small pension does not go far to keep the
family in bread.
The case is one that should appeal to the ten
der charity of the public. Any subscriptions
for the unfortunate family can be left at the
Posr- INTELLIGENCE business Office or in the
hands of Mr. Caslin, and the funds will be given
TO the proper persons.
