On last Thursday Col d. J. Gent,
who is commander of the &. A. r.
Post here, received word that a COM
rade by the name of Hamilton Cans
was at Paha in this county with his
family, and that he was suffering from
hurt caused by being thrown from a
horse, and the family was in destitute
circumstances. Mr.Zent proceeded at
once to investigate the matter and de-
cided that something ought TO be
done, and at once. He accordingly
notified some of the citizens near at
hand and small load of provisions
and clothing was made up and Mr..
Gent took it down, in person Friday
morning. We were surprised when
we heard that there was any destitu-
ton among the people of this county
so rs soon as Mr.. Gent returned we
proceeded to interview him and learn
ed the following facts in regard to the
matter.
Mr.. Cans has until very recently
been living in Oregon where he fol-
lowed the farming business. Three
years ago his crop was entirely ruin
ed by water. Mortgage indebtedness
falling due about that time still furth-
er embarrassed him. The fates not
seeming to be satisfied with that he
lost several fihehorses and one disas-
ter following in rapid succession to
another until he was reduced to pow
erty and almost despair, but at last he
made bold dash for Washington in
the hope that he might be able to re-
gain his lost fortune. His bad luck
followed him. On the road three of his
remaining horses died, and soon after
landing here he was hurt as above re-
ferred to. He has wife and six
children, the oldest ID years old. Mr..
Gent assured Ills that he believed Cans
to be II thoroughly sober and indus
trious man, and that with a little
help and encouragement just now he
would soon be on his feet and all right
One thing is very certain that il the
family is worthy of help, and OF this
there is no doubt, there is no place in
all the wide world where they would
be so likely to get it as in Adams
county. og
While we were interviewing Mr..
Gent at his hotel the clothing began
to come in, Grandpa Lee starting the
pile with a roll of blankets. Little
Helen Burroughs took off her cloak
and sent it down to the Cans children
and many other acts of kindness and
sympathy were shown by our people
most of whom have passed through
hard times and know what it is to be
poor, and they know that all this
family needs is little help Il few
cheering words, and if they will simply
stay in Adams Co. aud do the best
they can they will soon be indepen-
dent.
Amy clothing or provisions left with
ID. J. Zent will be forwarded at once
to the Cans family if desired.
