A Family in Hard Luck.

A most distressing case of misfortune
and poverty received the attention of
number of charitable jamestown people
Tuesday. Monday man, woman and
five children arrived on the train from
the west, and took lodging at the Com
merclal hotel. They left before breakfast,
not having money to stay longer, and
leaving some small articles of baggage,
took refuge in the open air behind the
engine house, while one of the little boys
OF the family went in search of food and
help. This was soon found, and lunch
provided for them. The man, it appears,
had been working in the lumber woods
OF Washington, until injured by falling
tree, last August. Since that date the
family have been gradually reduced IN
circumstances, and as last resort
started to return to their former home
in Kentucky, where they have relatives
and some means of support. The hus-
band and father being sick and
unable to earn livelihood, the expert
ences OF the family have necessarily been
such as to evoke sympathy from all who
have witnessed their condition. Kind
hands brought cot for the man to rest
upon, others brought milk for the half
starved children, and food for the patient
mother. A subscription paper was then
started to pay for their transportation
east, with good prospect of securing
liberal sum. The man-whose name is
Taylor-says the Good Templars of
Livingston, Montana. secured them pas,
sage to this place, and that other friends
have been found on their journey. The,
instance is but one Of many, where hard
ships and poverty have made life mere
existsnce, but frightened occasionally by
the charity and humanity of strangers
IN strange land.

MYSTERIOUS Disappearance.

Robert Warren, who has been farming
his fathers land in Seven Mile Coulee
has mysteriously disappeared and no
trace OF him can be found. When last
seen he was in the city on horseback last
Tuesday, and towards evening left for
his farm about seven miles directly east
Of here.
He was noticed as he passed Mr..
Sears place, five miles east, but nothing
unusual was observed in his actions or
behavior. Since then no trace has been
found of either Warren or his horse
although q continual search has been
kept up ever since last Friday. HIS two
brothers who have farms near their
fathers discovered his absence and came
