their uncle. George Murphy, of
Bridgeport, were arrested and
brought here to jail last week
charged with stealing beef hides
from J. J. McLaiD. The two
boys were committed but George
was allowed to go free. The
Murphy family have been almost
on the verge of starvation for
several weeks, living in a miser
able hovel without furniture,
beds, or clothing sufficient to
keep them warm. Such good
citizens as Dr. Late, A. J. Lodge,
J. J. McLain and C. W. Johnson
had contributed thera a load of
material to relieve their suffering
and the same was delivered to
them through the kindness of Jos
Johnson who "sent his team
to convey th<i goods. A. B.
Cornwell, overseer of the county
poor, had also been furnishing
them with supplies, but their dis
position to plunder and steal led
the boys to steal from one of the
men that aided them in their
need.
