|. MAN LEAVES FAMILY
TO SUFFER AND DIE

One Of the most intolcrabe cases Of
neglect on the part Of a husband and
father, Of dire poverty and suffering by
the wife and children, developed to
public view last night when General
superintendent Daley of the Ringing
road discovered a family in small
tworoom house near the corner Of I
street and Eighth avenue northwest.
The mother was i'll, one child, eighteen
months old, was dead and another child,
five years old, was suffering with pneu.
mona. Mr. Daley at once took interes,
IN tue case and the mother and the
child with pneumonia were sent to a
eanitarium and the body of the dead
child to the undertaken.
The police were notified and the
father was arrested and taken to the
station, but later discharged on the
order OF the sheriff, until after the
funeral Of the dead child. Sheriff Car
eett holds a warrant for the mans ar
rest, it having been issued from the
county court Jan. 49, when complaint
was filed there against him charging
wife and child abandonment
und is one showing dire poverty. There
is a bed in one room, with n fairly
good mattress on it, but only two light
covers. There is an Old cot without
bedding sufficient to furnish any
warmth. There is a stove, but when
officers called there, the woman, who
was II, was sitting by it, but the stove
contained not a spark Of fire There
vas no fuel in the house nor yard, not
thing that could have been used for
tuel
The man had formerly been employed
on the Ringing road and could have
employment now, it was stated if he
wanted it, For several weeks he is
said by the police to have been loafing
about the city, while his family was in
want. The officers did not know where
he had been staying, but they said he
was so filthy in his clothing that he
was anything but a desirable object to
neeC.
1t appears that the family carried
some insurance upon the lives Of the
children and the man tried to collect
$50 which was due upon the death Of
;he child who died yesterday Mrs.
Julius Kahn, president of the Ardmore
Benevolent Association, learned OF this
and interferod to prevent him from col.
lecting the money and, perhaps, spend,
ing without the familys receiving the
benefit.
1t was possible to admit these cases,
The woman and the older child, to the
Sunshine ward at the Hardy Sanitar-
ium the ward maintained by the BE.
Eeyolent Association, and Mrs Kahn
today called attention to the great ad
vantage Of having this for such cases
md only regretted that other cases
arising under similar conditions cannot
be treated there by reason of being CON
tagious, and said that it showed the
great necessity for city hospital or
an emergency hospital in Ardmore.

NAME Of DEAD SOLDIER
FOUND ON COURT RECORD

When a dispatch was received telling
that Hiram Murray of Ardmore was
one of four American soldiers who had
died of pneumonia somewhere in France,
persistent effort failed to disclose amy
person who remembered the name 0f
Hiram Murray, except Fred S. Haynle,
deputy court clerk, who said at the time
hat the name was familiar to him. On
looking over the criminal docket in the
district court il was found that Hiram
Murray, Tom Christian and another had
been indicted for burglary. Tom Chris
tian, who was a negro, was tried but
the record does not show that Murray
was ever apprchended. There is nothing
30 show that the Hiram Murray, dead
IN France is the same one who was
indicted here, but the fact that no per
son of that name ever was drafted or
enlisted here sine, the establishment of
a rec, uiting offic, ia Ardmore tends to
show that it may be the same one and
that he enlisted at some other place
Dther than Ardmore.
