Pitiful case of poverty and pride in Indianapolis
Police and a charity group revived Mrs. Maggie Keys of 451 Washington St after a week of hunger and cold. Ill and destitute, she valued self reliance yet accepted aid from the public, saying her son, recently away seeking carnival work, was the best she had. Within hours, coal and groceries arrived, and her tidy east room, plants, and decor reflected dignity amid hardship.

Councilman Eppert of ward 4 will introduce an ordinance to annex nearly all land between Central avenue and Meridian street and between Fall Creek and Thirty-eighth street. The proposed boundary runs about 300 feet east of Central from Fall Creek to Thirty-fourth, then north to Delaware.

The area would lie in ward 4.
