B. Ingalls who lives on East Second Aveune, South, was somewhat astounded at finding an infant baby boy, but a few hours old, dressed in a thin outing flannel gown, wrapped in an old coat inside of an old greasy rain coat. The poor little chap was a badly chilled but was a fine big healthy baby of 9 pounds. Sherriff Jefferis and Dr. I. R. Woodward were called and made investigations but no clue as to the parents were obtained. The child was taken to the home of Nurse Baker where he is being well cared for, and seems to be the most popular youngster in town, as more than a dozen applications were soon received offering and were anxious to adopt him. We understand Mr. and Mrs. S. L. McGregor living on Second Avenue North, will become the legal parents, however before the child can be legally adoped it will have to be properly advertised which is being done in this issue. This is the first case of this nature in the history of Payette.
