Trouble Over the McClintic Child.

B. F. Ferguson, as local representative of the Indiana Children’s Home Society, was yesterday directed to take charge of the little Minehart girl, at Wm. McClintic’s over which occured the case against Mr, McClintic under the truancy law. The child, however, wassick , • and on advice of the physician, its removal was not attempted. The family objected very strongly to giving it up. So far as we have been able to learn, unless it be in the matter of sending to school, there seems nothing to complain of in the treatment the child has 1 received. It is well clothed, seemingly well fed, and apparently not I over-worked. It is also said to be | well satisfied to remain where it is. There are many however, it is fair to state, who believe that Mrs. McClintic’s poor health and ner* vous condition makes it unsuitable for the child to remain there.
