prepared a favorable report
on the measure providing that

possession of it until a short

girl, and set up that the child
was about to be carried away
and a writ was issued by
which the sheriff took posses-
sion of the child and after-
wards turned it over to its
mother, who kept it until to-
when by order of the court it
was taken from her arms and
given to the adopted parents.
It was a sad sight to see the
mother weeping over the loss
of her only child, but the evi-
ilence showed plainly that she
was not suitable to have its
care and custody.
