Couple
Abandons Baby
In Broad
Daylight
One of the moat peculiar and sen-
taUonal cases of child abandonment
ever recorded occurred 111 Frisco
when a two months old baby boy
was left by a young married couple
In the; street at that place In broad
(.'iylight, the husband having a shot
f,.; 1 an i defying anybody to molest
him or his young ,wit'e us th<> left
the child and drove off.
The younz couple had been mar-
ried about a year and a half.,and
were residing a shor' distance from
Frisco, in which community the
mother had resided for af)'.TiBkni>: or
seven years. Sinc-o their marring*
*h? and her husband hart resided a
portion of the time In Dallas. They
words t he south and no clue has
siniv been obtained as to their
whereabouts. The husband remark-
ed that he was taking his wife "out
of the country" and was "going to
leave the kid behind." It Is said lit
denies the parentage of the thlld.
The sheriff's department here was a<
once notified of the case an.l '.ia"
since been busy, but the fleeing con
pie have not yet been apprehendeu
Baby Brciight In.
The abandoned baby was brought
In by Messrs. C. W. Barnum and Will
Clarke of Frltco Friday afternoon,
turned over to the sheriff's depart-
ment. which In turn passed it up ts
the commlasloaers tour!. Tht in-
drove Into Frisco from their home i fant is a pretty two months old l a-
.ihout the middle of the afternoon j by boy, blue eyed and fair haired
with the baby and. stopping on one j and seems to be on quite friendlj
of the main stree's of the town, left ; terms with all the world notwlih-
the child In the street in the vicinity
ef several residente- Several per-
sons vtho saw the a<" i"nio:iF< rated
with the unnatural couple, but thw
husband, who had a shot gun with
him, defied any one to molest them
and commanded those who attempt-
ed to prevent the abandonment of
the baby, to "let the kid lie there."
They then hurriedly drove off to-
standing its strange and cruel aban-
donment. The child was taken t
the home of Commissioner W. M
Burgess who cared for it temporar-
ily.
The babe will probably be sent s<nil
to Rev. I. Z. T. Morris or Fort
Worth who devotes much of his tlm-
to securing homes for homeless
children.
