The baby has dark hair and rosy cheeks.
The Ritcheys. at first was in doubt,
soon became enthusiastic over their find
and both new-found father and mother
were soon wrapped up in love for their
heaven sent child. Then the community
found il out, and the babe delighted in
the attention it was stirring up, when
over 300 persons called to see it. All
went well until last Sunday night week.
The basket baby was fourishing beyond
expectations of the most sanguine,
when Dr. Harry Richards. we'll

ed the child at the point of revolver,
and informed the family that the child

the surrender Of the child to him. His
carriage was in waiting. Not on your
life, said Ritchey. The husband
demanded his wife to take the baby and
flee to friendly neighbor. and the
physician and Ritchey came to blows.
The physician managed to escape and
ran to the neighbor's making a similar
demand. but outside bolted door.
Then he gave up. The Caroline court
being in session, the matter was pre-"
sented to the Grand Jury and indict
ments were found on Thursday of last
week but the physician could not then
be found. Richards has left his prac-
tice and cannot be located by the
