father, one sister, Miss Sadie Cropley,

Not Wanted at Home
Goes Into the Riuer
Woman Seventy-seven Years of Age
Rescued by Members of the Coast
Guard on Friday

GuaTu Oh T1Qdy
Not wanted at home, an old woman
more than seyenty-seyen years of age,
sought solace in the harbor on Friday
and she was rescued from drowning by
members of the Kenosha Coast Guard.
The name of the old woman does not
appear in the records of the coast
guard. When she was taken to the
station and told her story Captain
Fountain and his men called up the
pauper officials of the city and then
erased the name Of the woman from
the records. 1t was found that she had
been living with her son and daughter
in-law. These people claimed that the old
woman was "cranky and hard to get
along with They asserted that it
was impossible to please her.
The story told by the old woman
declared that all she wanted was a
home in which she could spend the few
years she had to live. Pauper Com
missioner Jacob Saftig at once took
charge Of the case. He placed the old
woman back in the home she had left
to go to the river and declared that
she must be cared for by her
son. In case this order is not obey
ed formal complaint will be made
to the courts.
"The name Of the old womas is not
q matter of public interest, y said Mr..
Saftig this morning. "she has suf-
fered greatly, but we are going to try
to see that people who should properly
care for her extend this care. If it can
not be secured from them the city will
sec that this gray haired woman, bent
by age and infrmities, is cared for.n
