Tacoma, Wa:h--John Hicks, aged
seventy eight basket maker and we'll.
known local character who lived in d
shack on the Northern Pacific right of
way, is dead here after having lived
for years on ten cents a day. His diet
was soup, bread and coffee.
Sixty years ago Hicks is said to
have owned I6 acres of land in what
is now almost the heart Of Chicago.
He first came into local prominence
in 1911. when he appealed to the
county commissioners to increase his
charity allowance from three ito -four
dollars, a month. and. then outlined his
simple method OF living. ...s. #.g;,i
In the morning i eat bread and
