Kansas Academy Of Science and
Literature.

WICHITA April 2O.-A sensation IN the
way of a petition for grand jury was
sprung on the district court, and mas
been the talk of the town since. W. T.
Stanley presented the petition. He SAID
that he had been requested to do So lie
understood there were about 200 sigma
lures attached to the petition
It is also said that the petition has few
signers from the city, the people whose
names appear are those residing IN the
country districts. The last grand jury,
empanaled years ago, IS cited as an IN
stance of the cost of this luxury, 1t nav
ing taken about $37 900, and about All OF
their findings were knocked out when
they were brought to trial. FOR thls
reason the tax payers will bitterly oppose
the expense.
On the other hand, there has been SO
much talk of corruption and noodle, that
the move NAV ind favor in the eyes
of those who desire to see a thor-
ough examination into all this talk and
bring these insinuations and charges to a
head.
LEFT THEM A BLUE EYED BABY
A Family Near Hackney Find Basket
Containing a Child on the Porch
WINFIELD, April 20-The family OF A
D. Whitson, who live about one mile
east of Hackney, were treated to big
surprise by finding little girl baby
snngly tucked in market basket and
placed on their porch. Early in the
morning, while the stars were yet shin
ing, young lady member of the family
stepped our onto the porch and discov-
cred the basket, but as a noise, lndlcat-
ing life, came from beneath the basket
cover, she was too frightened to examine
il, but ran back into the house and raised
the alarm.
MIR. Whitson went out to see what was
the matter and found a common market
basket containing Il little blue eyed baby
girl. He took it into the house and cared
for the little stranger. 1t has the APP
pearance of not being more than two or
three days old, has blue eyes and is a
pretty little child.
The only mark about the child or
wrapping which might form clue to
find the owner is the cost mark on the
box holding nursing bottle.
