An envelop in a cardboard hat box, containing a 36-hour-old baby girl,| found in a shallow stream near Nevada avenue and Chapel road yesterday morning, may lead police to the mother of the child. It has been learned that a woman about 40 years old was seen Saturday | afternoon with a bundle in the vicinity | of the spot where the baby was found. | Meanwhile the infant 1s at Children’s | Hospital, recovered from the exposure. Nurses say if the real name of the baby is mot learned they will let 13-year-old Clyde Stevens of 3711 Huntington street, who first heard the cries of the infant, name her. Clyde was at school | ] this morning and could not be reached | to ascertain what name he would pick. The baby was found by Isadore| Glasser of 5311 Nevada avenue. Glasser said yesterday morning young Stevens came to his home and told him some one was drowning kittens in the creek, as he had heard them crying. Guided by the boy, Glasser went to the place and found the cardboard cradle in midstream. The water was so shallow that the box was resting on the bottom. The baby was unclothed. Around it were wrapped several news- papers. Among them was found the addressed envelope. Baby Weighs Only Three Pounds. MRS. S. G. JONES DIES. Was Daughter of Gen.
