(3/2/1904) BABY IN A BOX. Young Farmer Near Shawnee Found an Unusual Present. Shawnee, Okla., March 1.-Lee Chancellor, a young farmer who resides on the Bob Woods farm two miles northwest of the city, arose early this morning as usual, worked around his place until daybreak, about 6 a.m., and then started for breakfast. His wife called his attention to a crackerbox lying just inside the yard fence a few feet off the road, and on investigation, a week old girl baby, warm and crying, wrapped carefully, was found in the box. Chancellor summoned his neighbors, the child was taken into the house where Mrs. Chancelor took charge of it, and not a burise nor hurt was on its body. The men made a search of the place and discovered the plain tracks of a two horse buggy, the horses headed toward Shawnee, together with tracks of a man who had alighted, made a few steps toward the box, and then returned to the buggy. The team had been driven rapidly toward Shawnee. Sheriff Grace and County Attorney Freeling were called upon and bloodhounds are being used to make the search. It is a perfect mystery as the officers can find no one who either saw the carriage or heard it pass, though the act must have been committed late in the morning, as the child would otherwise have been chilled. This is the second case of this kind within a year. Last winter a child was found wrapped warmly in the Fairview cemetery. Sexton Phillips taking it in charge. It lived, despite the cold and is now healthy, having been adopted by a prominent family. The method of getting rid of unwelcome children, is however, not endorsed and the officials are determined to find the parties to the affair and prosecute them. (3/17/1904) Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
