SANFORD HAS GONE
But His Wife Stays and Rouses Righteous
Indignation

But His Wife Stays and Rouses Righteous
Indignation
SANTA, CRUZ, Jan. 13.-George M. San
ford, who, with his wife, was ordered by
his neighbors to leave town within 10 days,
has not been seen since and is supposed to
have left town. Mrs. Sanford is still here.
The neighbors continue to be indignant
and are determined not to have the couple
in the neighborhood.
The reason for the indignation is that
some months ago they took in a motherless
14-year-old girl to give her home in re-
turn for work. They would not allow her
to become acquainted with the neighbors,
it is said. Finally she got away and told
disgusting story of how Sanford had eff
eced her ruin with the connivance of his
wife. This. added to the tale of the cruel
beating of their little boy, famed the blaze
of Indignation which resulted in the neigh
bors going to the shanty occupied by the
couple and ordering their departure under
penalty of severe measures being taken.
Efforts are being made TO have their boy
placed in the care of the Society of the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The
girl who lived with the Sanfords is to be
adopted by family in FELTON,.

A Fatal Silver

STOCKTON, Jan. 13.-Local physicians re-
