A TERRIBLE CASEIpoft€d. *One Family In Kokomo Where Christman Feativltie* Carry No Cheer.*A terrible case of definition is reported to us to-day. At two o’clock this afternoon W. O. Dickey, living on east Jefferson street near Web ; Fouche’s saw mill, dropped dead inI his hou«e. It seems that DTckey hasbeen sick all summer and fall with consumption, not bedridden, but unable to earn anything for a living. A son furnished the means for the large family’s existence by such work as he could do, but the amount of means thus furnished may be imagined when it is kuown that he is but a small boy. When the terrible event was first learned to-day, willing hands at once went to work to do what could be done. But *! what a state of affairs was seen when the house was visited ! The family has been getting wood from the sawmill, above referred to, but the house was cold and cheerless, no evidences of anything having been in the house to eat for some time, while povertyII sat perched on every hand like a grim spectre.It is safe to say that not one person in Kokomo ever had the least suspicion that such a case as this is reported to be, had an existence in the city.fa\1arsiiI
