William Talleford Leave For Parts Unknown The 2 1/2 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Talleford has been deserted by his parents,whose present whereabouts are unknown. Talleford is a bartender and his wife a ariety actress. About two weeks ago the pair announced that they were going to Seattle for a short time,where Mrs.Talleford was to appear in vaudeville,and they left the child with Mrs. S.V, Law, of 264 Fourth street,until their return. At the end of the two weeks the Tallefords did not return,and search disclosed the fact that they had gone from Seattle to points unknown and had deserted their offspring. The case appeared to be a deliberate attempt on the part of the parents to be rid of the child,who is a bright little fellow. The child was yesterday turned over to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society.
