E. r. Foote, Altho Possessed of Con-

en- Home at the County Farm-ls
Victim of the Drink Habit and Wants
to Avoid Temptations.
,,ial 10 Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Sept 6.-The Hardin county
board of supervisors in session here to-
day, had a peculiar proposition UP for
consideration and action. II. L. Foote,
an Eldora resident for years, man
worth possibly $4,000, asked that he
be sent to the poor house. claiming
that he was without home or any
one to care for him. Foots is nearly
so years of age The board granted
the petition on condition that Foote
pay for his keep at the county house.
For years Foote was an industrious
resident of this city, was man re-
spected by everybody and his present
condition, brought about by excessive
drink, is regretted by those who know
him in better days. Recently he re-
turned from course of treatment at
Mt. Pleasant. but the appetite for the
cup was the same. Foote now makes
application to the board that he may
be removed to the poor farm and there
find a home amid surroundings where
the temptations are less and where he
may spend the remainder of his days,
which must be few, In comparative
comfort
