the adaptability of west Texas soil for
grape growing, and the arrivals Sun

ANsoS, Tex, Nov. Considerable
excitement prevailed Wednesday
night in town over lost child. Mr.
Spear was picking cotton in a patch
near town. About shutdown he missed
his little IA months old baby and be-
gan the search. Almost the entire
town turned out to assist in the hunt.
About 10 o'clock the little fellow was
found sweetly sleeping between two
cotton rows with bunch of grass for
his pillow. The mother was almost
frantic with the idea that wolf had
made a meal of her child, or that 4
rattlesnaile had bitten it, and would
entertain none but the most cruel fan
cies until the happy signal that her
baby was found and was only offend
ed at being aroused from his slum-
beers.

The child died Tuesday morning and
Mclean appealed to the county for
aid in burying it. A coffin was fur

They arrived at the house just in
time to find McLain making prepara-
tons for burying the child. The body
was taken charge of by the police and
post mortem examination was held
yesterday afternoon. The examina-
ton proved beyond a doubt that the
child had been treated in the most
brutal manner. The head was COW
cred with scars and the left ear
deeply gashed on the inner side and
the body bruised in several places.
The left leg was broken and the doc
tors say the fracture was at best but
two weeks old. Coroner Batey held
an inquest. The jury decided that
the child had come to its death as a
result Of willful and malicious treat
ment at the hands of Frank McLain,
