MUNICIPAL CCJGT
Neglected Children Given into Care
Of Mrs. Ada Hunt

Mildred and Dorothy Baker, aged
respectively eight and six years, were
by Judge Lancaster of the municipal
court Thursday morning given into
the care of Mrs. Ada F. Hunt State
agent for the prevention of cruelty to
children, who will find home for
them. The action of the court followed
an investigation of the conditions sur
rounding the children, whose parents
are Arthur and Nellie Baker. The COM
plant alleged that the children were
not properly cared for. clothed or fei
and were wholly neglected, and the
investigation by the court brought out
the fact that such was the case.
Other matters which claimed the
attention of the court during the
morning were two cases in which the
charge was intoXication, and in which
both respondents were found guilty.
One was given a sentence of $40 and
costs or 80 days, from which he ap
pealed, while the other paid a fine Of
SO and costs.
