and boy OF nine year.. Cough 10 a
miner, about fifty years OF age, aud is
sorely sill ctci with chronic rheuma-
tlsm. Both he and his wife (the latter
being the victim OF q severe attack Of
pneumonla) are at presen. bedrldden.
Their young son Is the only ono there
to wait upon tbem-snd lie u cripple.
The family came from South Dakota
about three months ago, but the nus
hand anu father has not boon able to do
astroke Of work during the interval. AS
a consequence they are now absolutely
destitute. MIR. Salisbury and other
gentlemen have kindly made them
several small allowances since the
case iirat came under their notice, but
MIR. Salisbury now Informed the board

promptly done for thcm death would

OF the "lweiiinR" are almost entirely
devoid OF furniture, and when MIR.
