Baby Weighs Only Thirty Ounces—Placed in Incubator.

Lafayette Courier. Mr. and Mrs. John Lape, of South Twenty-eighth street,’ are the parents of an unusually small baby girl this morning. The little one weighed but thirty ounces and is thought to be the smallest child that was ever born in this city. Dr. J. W. Shafer took the little one to the Home hospital, where it was placed in an incubator and it was doing nicely today. The child is normal in every way and is vigorous. Dr. Shafer stated that the child was the smallest that he had ever seen. Mr. Lape is a motorman on the city street railway. Phone 135, Duvall Bros., for bran, middlings, ehop, hay and straw; can not be beat;' take quality in consideration.
