Newborn Baby Deserted (1911)

Yesterday morning a baby, not more than a day old, was found near the Great Northern Railway track in this city. The baby had been placed in a blanket and left deserted. It was taken to Dr. Ward, the city physician, who has started an investigation. This morning, when seen, Dr. Ward said that he had found a home for the baby and that it would be adopted.
