NO HOME IS OFFERED.
Mandan Hospital Nurses Still Carrying {sp} for Motherless Infant.
Mandan, N. D., Feb. 18.—Although a few inquiries have been made, there has been as yet no offer made to give a home to the infant son of Mrs. J. G. Symanski, who died at the Mandan hospital a short time ago.
The baby is a very healthy child and has won the hearts of the hospital employes. The father, who is a minister of the gospel at Glen Ullin, feels that he is not capable of rearing the child, and would like to find a home for it.
