Abba, Sept. 14.-A peculiar case OF
what seems to be the inhuman deser-
ton of two little waits by the father
occurred in Abba Monday afternoon.
Ira Morley, stone cutter, who for
merly worked at the marble works at
225 East Main street, Ottumwa. Iowa,
parted from his first wife over ten

January she was granted divorce, he
retaining possession of the two chill
dren. Monday he started west, saying
he was going to Lucas, when the train
stopped at Abba. The two little waits,
Sabin, a boy eleven years, and Maisy,
a girl thirteen, were put off by their
father and told to hunt up their aunt,
Mrs. John Smily, whom he said lived
in Abba, when in fact she lived at
Foster, seven miles away. The chill
dren being timid and afraid wandered
around town until late in the night and
fell asleep on the courthouse steps
where they remained until morning
when they were found by D. G. Ander-
son. the grocer. who heard their story,
or as much of it as they dared tell,
for their father had them frightened
with threats of what he would do to
them if they told anything that would
reflect on him. They had every care at
the Anderson home and they have
proved to be model children. Their
aunt at Foster was notified and came
up Thursday and identified them as
the Morley children and will take them
home with her for the present. Their
mother lives at Oakley, Iowa. She has
been notified of the predicament of
her children and steps will be taken at
once to have their Unnatural father
prosecuted for his cold blooded aban-
dnnment OF them.
