WOMAN AND CHILDREN FOUND
DESTITUTE IN LONELY CABIN

On Friday, Constable Alex Baird
went to Hercules Gap, and returned
with Mrs. McManus and her five
children. who have been existing In
sorry circumstances in a tent house,
miles away from any habitation. The
case of this family was brought to
the attention of the authorities. by a
rancher. early in the week. and on
Tuesday Sheriff Grain and Constable
Baird. with quantity of provisions.
drove out to the gap and located the
place where the McManus family
were living. The trip was made in a
cutter, and deep snow was encoun-
tered. the travelling being SO heavy
that an hour and half was occupied
in making the last mile.
Mr.. McManns was formerly en-
ployed at the smelter, but some time
ago went over on the west side of the
valley and undertook to subsist by
raising vegetables. The venture was
not very successful. and winter found
the family poorly prepared to meet
cold weather and snow storms. About
fortnight ago Mr.. McManus. 1t is
said, went to Cherry Creek to look
for work. and his wife and children
were alone and pretty near helpless
when the recent period of blizzard

mother nor her brood of children had
clothing anywhere near sufficient to
keep them warm. Four of the five
children are girls, the oldest about
ten and the youngest a baby. The
boy Is about six years old.

we're a veritable God-send, but as the
supply was of course limited. and the
bead of the family not located. the
county commissioners decided the
proper thing to do was to bring the
mother and children to Ely. where
their needs could be better and more
easily attended to. and the children
given opportunity to attend school.
So Mrs. MeManus and her little ones
have been installed in the small
frame building east of the county
hospital. and the women of the dis
triet who have heard of the case have
been busy seeing to II that needed
and comfortable clothing is forth
coming.
Mr. McManus Is said TO be devoted
TO his family. but has been apparent
ly the victim of combination of
hard luck and poor judgment
There is net much chance for such
narrowing destitution in the city and
near vicinity, and many a generous
heart has throbbed with sympathy at
the thought of the woman alone with

REBELLION.

Rebellion comes, Hopes sacred fires,
To Freedoms sons, from Freedoms
sires;
A soul-breath swordsmcn cannot Kill,
Nor gold, nor cross, nor rifle still.
With Lucifer it marched on God,
And broke Jehovah's scourging rod,
It stood with Christ in Pilates hall
And doomed the CAESARS to their fall.
1t sent Gautema on his quest
Him Asia calls her light and blest;
With QuctzaIcoatl, long ago,
1t stirred the heart Of Mexico.
With Moses it for freedom sought.
With Wild Mahomet, too, it fought,
1t gave Zooaster all his fame,
Confhcius mis- deathless name.
With Cromwell's legions, grim aha
cold,
It trampled on the statutes old,
With Voltaire, Marat and st Just,
1t ragged till Europe rose from dust.
It called Abe Lincoln from the plains,
Set Marx and Ferrer breaking chains
And hove red DER the Commune when
1t fired the souls Of workingmen.
'Tis that which Strs the race today"

chaotic industrial conditions in Gary
we're thoroughly discussed, and near
the close Of the session q resolution
was passed providing for "uniforln
working conditions in Gary" which is
only another way Of saying that ali
work shall !e done by union labor.
The activity of the Trdaes Unions in
showing merchants the folly Of poor
ly paid labor was a factor in making
peace possible, for at the meeting re-
ferred to above, one contractor declar-
ed that ut seemed MS if the merchants
in Gary all wanted union shops" An
other employer said the general senti-
ment Of the people Of Gary was in
favor of union shops and the resolu-

what it wanted: The resolution will
be officially rendered TO the unions,
and while it is agreed that much time
will be necessary to adjust conditions
to the new order, within month o.
