Mother Deserts Infant
The lady who recently visited this city sell-
ing corsets, and who had an eight months old
girl baby with her, made arrangement with a
Mexican family to take care of the infant for
a few weeks, claiming that it was a great hin-
derance to her while traveling. After leaving
the city she failed to remit as agreed, and the
lady who had charge of the infant turned it
over to Tom Cobb as chairman of the board of
commissioners. Tom is equal to almost any
emergency but he couldn’t get rid of so young
a girl, although he put in almost all of his time
in attempting to do so. The ladies of the hos-
pital finally agreed to take the child, Mr. Cobb
agreeing, on behalf of the commissioners, to
look after the moral training of the young lady.
