SANDERS TO CARE FOR STEP CHILD.
Albert Sanders was granted the care, through adoption, of his eight year old stepdaughter, Myrtle Adams by Judge G.W. Shute of the superior court yesterday. Mrs. Sanders, the child's mother, died about a year ago, three months after becoming the wife of Mr. Sanders. Since then the father of the child, who had separated from the mother before the child was born, claimed the little girl. Mr. Sanders refused to part with her and petitioned the court for permission to adopt her, which was granted. A number of Mr. Sander's neighbors appeared as witnesses and testified to his affection for the little girl and to the good care he has given her. Myrtle will leave soon for Silverton, Colo., where she will spend the summer with Mrs. Mattie Ritter, another stepdaughter of Mr. Sanders.
