In comfortable circumstances. 1t seems
her husband has been away from home
for the last six months having given up
a $35 a week position at his home town
and went to California where he had
the expectation of better position,
which proved a fizzle and sinse then
he has been in several places trying
to get work. but this was the first
place he got steady employment at the
Bridge Works, he then wrote to his
wife that he was now permanently
settled and would draw big pay on
the Sth; she has a three months old
baby that the father had never seen
and she thought it would be great to
surprise him and come at once, which
she did and 1T was pitiful to how
, the woman suffered when instead of
finding her husband prosperous she
l.
! in his head and his eyes swollen shut.
He was drunk at the time he got into
the fight that did him up so and lost
! his position and now she finds him
without funds and she with a three
months old baby with her. The woman
} is refined and appears of good family.
She was handsomely dressed and had
several large plumes on her hat, worth
about $40 or $50. which she offered to
sell for IS to help toward the pay
ment of fare to get back east. She
had enough with her for one ticket, but
, wanted to raise enough for her hus-
! bands fare Up to now she hadn't re-
, ceived it.
