EVIDENCE LACKING

The officers of the Humane Society
and Chief of Police Garihee, have
been engaged for some days in running
down report relative to the alleged
inhumane treatment Of young girl
by her father. The reports coming
from some parties were certainly very
startling. Careful investigation on
the part of the officers has convinced
them that all of the reports were
greatly exaggerated. The treatment
of child by her father, in the pre-
Sence OF only members of family, are
of course very difficult to get at. The
truth is frequently covered up and at
times untruthful statements are made.
This case may be no exception to
the rule. So far as actual facts can
be ascertained up to the present time,
there has not been sufficient evidence
discovered to warrant Court proceed
ings. The child, according to the
statement of the physician now treat
ing her, is sick from causes other
than physical violence. She is not
apparently suffering from blood-poi son
or physical injuries. after the date
of the alleged cruel treatment she
appears to have attended school for
