PRESUMED PAUPER HAD A NEST EGG

William Prica, Who Was Taken to County Farm, Had |2oo—Friends Had Been Deceived. V When William Price, an aged and infirm man, was taken to the county infirmary last week it was presumed that he was penniless. That was the belief of Christian friends who had given him and his two children, a girl and a boy, much aid for a long time and who had finally decided that he had best be taken to the county farm and homes found for his two children. When the clothing of the man d*as searched by the infirmary superintendent SIBO in bills was found and it was learned that he had given his daughter and son $lO each before he was taken away. The superintendent hardly knew What to do in the matter but after counseling with several decided to place the money in the bank and keep the old man at the farm. His infirmities are such that he is unable to care for himself and his children will, do much better away from him. The girl has tieen made a charge of the juvenile court, Judge Hanley, and the boy was taken to the Julia Work home. They are good children and it is hopf»d that good permanent homes are secured for them.
