Jo Janalene Test, 7 months old, at B
o'clock yesterday afternoon ceased to be
a eaua of strife between her yrandpar
ts, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. QUby, and her
father, Lieutenant Fred C, Teat of tha
United States army, stationed at Santa
Fo for servloe on tha Mexican border.
At that hour District Judge Bears
signed an order vesting In nor father all
rights to tha custody and control of th
baby. Tho decision waa In accord with
Nabraeka statutes, which are far-reaching
In the safeguarding of a
to his children.
parent's rights
Forgives Loss of Iby.
As they wore leaving the courtroom
shortly afterward, following a reoonollla
tlon and a .partial compromise of. con
flicting optnloas, Mrs. Btxby fondly
kissed Lieutenant Test, who waa the
husband of her dead daughter, formerly
Miss Jossphtne Blxby of this olty. and
declared aha had no bitterness of feeling
gainst him.
Only a short tlrao previously J, A. C.
Kennedy, attorney for Mr. and Mrs.
Blsby, criticised Lieutenant Teat In
scathing term for desiring to remove the
baby at this time to hla homo in Santa
Fo. Attorney Blackburn, representing
I Lieutenant Test, declared Ms client did
not oonslder these crHlclams to bo tho
personal views of tha Blxby family.

Test, who had been separated from ths
baby for sis months, allow th Infant to
become familiar with him before start

ceded to by him. ell wa Invited to the
Blxby homo for this purpose.
That tho trip to Santa, Fa, round whloh
point th chief controversy arose, will be
made probably within a week Waa un
derstood by fr(ends of Lloutenant Test
rhysioians' advice will bo sought In tho
matter, . it was said.
At Santa Fo tho baby's grandmother,
Lieutenant Test's mother. Is awaiting her.
Although the legal fight for the baby's
custody was waged unceasingly' all day
sSid at tlmas became acrimonious, Lieu
tenant Test, who had mad hi parsnts-t-larw
defendanta la a habeas corpus
suit, at all times expressed high regard
for them, and a like spirit toward htm
waa ahown by them. It waa shown that
ha had paid blUa rendered to him for tho
baby's expenses. Mr. and Mrs. Blxby
had tha ear of the baby alnc Its birth. .
Coort Learae Case of lafaata.
District Judge Sears, himself the
father of a family of children, was given
a thorough aours of Instruction con
cerning tho car of a modern young baby
at the morning hearing of the suit
Whether the milk from a single oow
or from a herd Is better for a baby; how
the milk might be heated on a train; how
many diapers would bo required for a
trip lasting two days and two nights,
and how they might be washed on th
train, were questions gravely presented
by 'attorneys for consideration of Judge
Sears. Other Issues concerned tha best
artlflotal food for Infants; whether It U
preferable to wean a baby at month
or 10 months, anO whether a oold would
mak long trip hasardoua for th child.
Physicians called by the defense to
testify that a trip to Santa Fe. N. M.,
would be dangerous to the Infant, de
clared that a certain element of chance
would be Involved In such an undertak

Tho routine ot tho baby's care was
described by Miss Holoao Blxby, its
aunt and Mr a. Blxby, lta grandmother.
It waa asserted that on aocount of tho
child's doUcato condition her oar waa
more tisan ona person could aocooipllah.
It frequently kept two or thro persona
busy, said Miss Blxby.
Members of the Blxby family testified
that Lieutenant Tost, soon after the
birth of tho baby and death of the
mother, told Mrs. Blxby to raise th
child as she had the departed mother.
Lieutenant Test relied on a svrprem
court decision recognising tho paramount
right of a parent to his child over other
claimants. ,
Early In the day Judge Sears decided
one point-that milk for a baby might be
heated on a train by an alcohol lamp In
