AS some inquiry has been made about
the local item in last weeks paper, asking
any one who wished to adopt little boy
baby to apply at this office, we state that
we have been informed that the parents
of the infant are both dead, the mother
having died at BoZeman few weeks ago,
and the baby was brought to Deer Lodge
by a lady who thought it would be cared
for at the hospital; but as it was not re-
ceived at that institution, it will probably
be sent to Helena, ifsome kind hearted
woman does not take pity on it and give
it mothers care.
