roads leadings from Butte, but he
had not succeeded in locating him up

MAD 1 HARD LUCK STORY
ASKED FOR COUNTY HELP
Norgan Howell Had . Kick Coming
Because His Lot Had Been
Sold for Delinquent
Taxes.

Edward Harrison. a ~13-year-old coll
ored lad. a member of the stranded
Black Bostonians. called on the county
commissioners yesterday and told them
a great hard luck story and ask them TO
furnish him with transportation back
TO Chicago. which they declined TO do.
Harrison wore "A silk hat n knicker-
booker breeches. and a a prosperous
appearance. and the appearances in his
case. he said, were uncommonly de-
ceptive. He said he had not eaten reg
uIarly since the company disbanded.
and he has been compelled to sleep In
barns and o~uthouses. He said that some
other members of the company were in
as bad a fix as he was. The older over
ton. who came out all the way from Des
Moines to get his son. Manager over
ton. out OF Jail. had promised TO do the
philanthropic act and send the company
back 20 Chicago. But he did not, n
they are all in Montana yet. including
the talented light shaded prima donna.
Maude Mae Palmer. Som of the Bos-
tonians are still in Butte. Some have
gone to Anaconda and Others got as far
away as Dillon. Young Harrison said
ne left a good position as Office boy in
Chicago to go with the company and do
a song and dance. Now he wishes he
had not. The commissioner and AUDI
tor Davies heard his story and then ex-
pressed the opinion hat IL he could earn
his own living in Chicago he ought To be
able to DO, it in Butte.
Morgan Howell. a resident of East
Butte. was another caller on the COM
missioners yesterday. He wanted re-
lief, but of a very different character.
Several years ago he bought a lot in the
East Butte addition and built a house
on 1t. A few days ago he received a
notice that the property a been sold
for delinquent taxes for the year 1892
and that the time for redemption had
expired and that he was about to loose
the property. He had supposed the
property was clear of all liens when he
bought IL, and when he learned the con-
trary he got mad. He came before the
commissioners with a wild whoop and a
ehirst for blood. He swore a blue streak
and cursed and damned everybody and
before he got through relating his griev-
ances the mercury in the big thermom-
eter hanging in the commissioners
room had crawled up 20 degrees. He
seemed to think the commissioners were

why DO you want to sell the root
over a poor mans head?" he shrieked
shaking his fist in turn at everybody In

With a few more oaths hat cracke
the globes on the chandelier. and with
a dire threa; against the nan who sold
him the lot. Mr.. Howell passed N of
the room as quickly as he had entered
IL. Fortunately for him the delinquent

Auditor Davies reported to the COM
missioners yesterday a particularly sad
case of ickness and poverty in the fam
lily OF Joseph Lachapell, at 30 West
Aluminium street. For two years Lacha-
pell has suffered with rheumatism and
in hat time he has not been able to
work in all more than six months. Two
weeks ago he was stricken with paraly-
sis and his entire body from his waist
dow Is paralyzed. He Is still able to
talk. but otherwise he Is absolutely
helpless. His wife struggles to care for
him and at the same time TO support
herself and three little CHILDREN. About
a week ago she contracted blood poison
ing and on Tuesday she had to be re-
moved to a hospital. where she Is now
lying In a precarious condition. The
helpless husband and father. who daily
grows worse. was left at home alone
with the children. whose ages are Z. )
and 4 years. The neighbors have been
taking care of them and their condition
was reported to Mr.. Davies, who made
an investigation. 1t was decided to re-
move Lachapell 10 the poor house and
the children will be cared for by a sister
Of Mrs. Lachapell until the mother is
well again.
The commissioners h on Wednes-
day. made their monthly examination
of the county poor house and poor farm.
reported yesterday that they had found
everything in good and satisfactory
condition.
