THOSE DESTITUTE CHILDREN.
ineIr Father Will Take Them to His
fountain Home.

Officer Healey of the Children's Socie-
" went to the place referred to yester-
DAY where six half-orphan children are
destitute, to remove them to the Or
phan Asylum. But he discovered that
another father in the same house has
TWO children, half-orphans, poor but
not wholly destitute, but both were
Sick. Fearing the illness might be of a
contagious character, he went for DR..
ogden, who examined the children and
found them to be suffering with throat
disease that may or may not prove to
be diphtheria. The place is low and
over bad ground and not a proper
therefore not to remove the first group
Of children, as they might carry dis
ease to the Orphan Asylum.
The father of the six children has a
small place in the mountains, and will
take his children there as soon as he
can get the money to pay their way.
Officer Healey has called ON Supervisor
Mclaughlin in relation to the matter,
and Secretary Simon of the Child's So
ciety is interesting himself about it,
and 1t is expected, therefore, that the
money, only few dollars, will be
raised, and the poor man, who is desti-
tute, will be able to take his motherless
children to his home in the mountains,
where he says he will be able to provide
for them. This will be better by far
than the original intention of putting
the children in the asylum, relieving
both that institution and the Children's 5
Society.
Yesterday Healey took into custody
boy named Willard Page and deposit
ed him In the City Jail for safe keeping
for a few days, Chief Drew consenting
to accept him for short time. The
lad is small and stout and claims tc be
16, but he is not believed to be over
Il years of age. He ran away from
Salt Lake City, where he says he has
two brothers, but they are not men to
care for him, both being, the boy al
leges, usually under the influence Of
liquor. He has neither father nor
mother living. He has been here some
ten days, sleeping in barns and living
from hand to mouth. He says he is
willing to work to earn his living.
The officers do not think that he is
vicious lad, but he is one who would be
easily contaminated if left without care.
The boy is very obscure in statement ds
to when he left Salt Lake City. What
to do with him is puzzling the society
officer. Correspondence will be opened
with the officers of the Boys and Girls
Aid Society, San Francisco, to ascertain
If they can dispose of him.
In the meantime Healey is at work
on cases relating to more important
matters, and one of which regards
villainous fellow who is insulting school
children and whose conduct has much
disturbed the school authorities.
