DID HIM JUSTICE
WHITAKER PACKING COMPANY
PAYS OUNLIFF HEIRS.

An Investigation Proved That the Com
pany WAS Not Legally Liable for tn
Death of MT. CunIifT, But the Corpora
ton Suggests That the Probate Cour
Appoint a Guardian and Then Give
Voluntarily to the Guardian $500 fol
Use of the Heirs-M Mother of the Chill
dren was Appointed.
Corporations are without souls, and
are generally supposed ITO be withou'
feeling, farther than that whicn is tC
their financial advantage. They gen
orally see that their employees are pro
tected from the inclemency of the
weather, on the basis that a well man
Is of more value than a sick one.
When an accident happens they never
come forward to the relief Of the family
unless so compelled by the strong arm
Of the law. But Wichita, unlike many
other points in many ways has the
pleasure of having a corporation 6hat
bids defiance TO all established rules
and yesterday, by its manager, volun-
ta74ly entered the probate court and
acknowledged itself indebted to one Of
its late employees.
The case was that of the heirs Of
Charles Cunliff VS.. Francis Whitaker
& Sons Packing company. 1t viii be re
menfbered that one year ago the deceas-
ed was killed at the packing house by
the explosion Of a cooling tank.
AT the time of the death of Mr. Cum
Tiff the company bore all the expenses
of the funeral and regularly sent the
wages Of the man to the support Of his
family And besides this went before
the probate court and asked that a
committee be appointed TO ascertain
whether or not THE sad accident was
occasdoned by any fault of the COM
pany.
Previous to This the coroner's Jury
had made their report fully generating
the company from all liability, but a
the corporations suggestion the suit
of the heirs was instituted, and as ex-
peoted the committee returned a re-
port declaring that the accident, while
"a sad one, was one that could not have
been prevented by the company and
consequently there was no legal liabil-
ity.
These facts were sent to John Whit
taker, the president of the company,
who sent word to MIR. Wallace to appear
before the probate court and ask that
a guardian be appointed for the chill
dren of the deceased employee, suggest
ing that the mother was the natural
SN0i u4dlI' anu t-le'C "ulth 'OLl4S NdS uOle
to hand to the guardian a draft for
$500
Yesterday this was done and Mrs
Cunllff was appointed the guardian and
letters were Issued
The company also added a good rec
ommendatdon as TO the faithful services
Of Ma. Cunhff and closed with the well
wishes Of the company for the future
prosperity of the children and the fam
fly.
Such cases as the above are very rare
that q corporation should take such
voluntary interest In the family of
deceased employee, and the kindness of
the company should long be cherished
by the family and the employees of the
company.
