AND DIES FROM
; EFFECTS TUESDAY
Little 2-Y ear-Old Daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Nelson Passes
Away Yesterday.
From "Wednesday's Dally
The home of Mr. and Mrs. John

terday by the sudden death of their
little 2-year-old daughter. Betty
June, following: the eating of a num
ber of pills that the baby had se
cured and which had been used as
medicine for other members of the
family.
The pills had been left in a box
cn a table in the home and yester
day morning shortly after 10 o'clock
the little one. who was able to get
around the house, had crawled up on
a chair and getting onto the table
secured the box and before discov
ered had eaten a large number of the
pills. She had taken sick at once,
but as there was nothing of a pois
onous nature in the pills it was not
thought to be serious and by noon
the little one had seemingly shown
a great deal of improvement and the
family felt no apprehension over the
child. In the late afternoon the
child suddenly grew worse and
passed away shortly before 4 o'clock
and before medical aid could be sum
moned. The death has corns as a great
blow to the bereaved parents and
the brothers and sisters of the little
one who had idolized the youngest of
the family circle, and in their great
grief they will have the deepest sym
pathy of the many friends here In
the city.
The funeral services will be held
at the home at Eleventh and Gran
ite streets at 2 o'clock Thursday af
ternoon and will be in charge of the
Rev. Frank Emory Pfoutz, pastor of

FINDS CONDITIONS
IN HOMES OUT IN
COUNTY VERY BAD
Investigation by County Attorney of
Places Near Cnllom Results in
Finding of Needy Cases.
From Monday's Dally
Saturday afternoon County Attor
ney W. G. Kieck was called out to the
vicinity of Cullom on a complaint
that had been made of the conditions
surrounding the homes of several
parties living in that vicinity in tem
porary dwelling places.
The conditions that were found to
exist by the county attorney were
most distressing and showed the most
extreme poverty and want as well as
neglect. In one case there has been
a child sicK ana which was lacking
many things for proper treatment of
the case and the surroundings were
very dirty and distressing for a well
person let alone one who was in
very serious shape. The child was
taken to the University hospital in
Omaha for treatment as its condition
! i vprv cprlnne
One familv was livine in a small
one room losr house which had no
floor in it, there was a deep coating
Df just and dirt over the surface of
the earth floor that had evidently not
received any attention, ashes from a
stCve had been dumped in places over
tne r0om and coffee grounds emptied
around and niles of tin cans added to
tne other dirt and filth. There was
only one bed and tnis was in a very
unciean condition and the place as a
wnoie was about as bad as could
be foun,i anywhere. Added to this
tnere was a lack of sufficient food in
the house and facilities for caring for
the sick child
Another of the places visited was
a tent where a man and wife were
living and which was also in the
'most abject poverty stricken condi
tion and tQe need of 9tep9 to see that
they had pr0per food and clothing
wa PVident
The county attorney after remov
ing the sick child urged the parties
to make some effort to clean up their
dwelling places and make them as
near places for human habitation as
Dossible by cleaning up the filth
around them. It will probably be nec
see that they have their homes clean
ed up as far as.it is possible and
kept that way in' the future.
