Bismarck.-When George Will stuck
his head out the front door of his
home into the 80 below temperature
air here last week: he saw an apple
box on the doorstep.
Thankful to Santa Claus, Will took
the box inside. Eagerly he removed
a blanket from the top of the box, then
rubbed his eyes in amazement, for
there bedded in several layers of blan-
kets, was a 3-weeks-old baby boy. Be-
side the infant were two complete
outfits Of baby clothes.
Will reported his find" to the pc.
lice, and few hours later, Helen Ward
Of Hebron, N. D., was taken in custody.
She said she was the child's mother
and had abandoned it because she
could not support it.
