An Infant Picked up Near Red River
Yesterday Afternoon.
This afternoon negro man,
giving his name as j. G. Calhoun,
brought to town a leather grip
a newly born white
female baby. The negro said he
found the grip half mile this side
of Red River, near the Santa Fe
track, and after opening it decided
to bring it to town, which he did,
and turned it over to Sheriff
Womack. DR.. G.. X. johnson
examined the babe and said it was
fully developed. OF course it was
dead. The infant was wrapped in
an old quilt and placed in one side
of the grip, the other side being
empty. The idea seems to be
prevalent among the officers that
it was thrown from the Santa Fe
passenger train this morning
There is as yet no clue to the mys-
terry that promises to lead to the
discovery of the perpetrators of the
inhuman deed, but the officers are
working diligently on the case
