LEFT HIS, FAMILY IN DISTRESS.
Daniel DOWney, Whose Body Was
EOuud at Rlack nIamond

Found 1T Black Diamond.
1t was learned yesterday that the body
found under the trestie at Black Diamond
was that of Daniel Downey, of this city,
not A. B. Downey, as first reported.
Downey left his wife and three children
in shack on Rose street. six weeks ago
last Monday, with the intention of getting
work in the mines at Gilman, Franklin or
Black Diamond. Since he left nothing
has been heard of him, and his family, re-
duced to destitute circumstances, have
been subjects of charity for the county
and neighbors. A Posr-INrELLIG ENCER re-
porter yesterday found the humble abode
of Mrs. Downey and gave her an exact
description of the clothes worn by the
dead man. They Tailed in every respect
with those worn by her husband when he
left home and these facts taken in con-
nection with the locality In which the
body was found, leaves no doubt of the
identity.
The family came to Seattle a year ago
last June from Pittsburg, Pa. and Downey
worked as a laborer for the city and at
other jobs he could secure Previous to
going to the coal mines six weeks ago he
had been out of work for some time. and
the finances of the household were very
low. After he left nothing was heard from
him. and his wife found herself and three
little children without food and nothing
but miserable shack to keep Off the cold
when the big SHOW storm set in. Some
one reported the case to Sheriff Jim Wool

Commissioner Fred Gasch in relieving
distress Food was sent them, and with
