THIS movement has been pretty clearly
ioreshadowcd for some weeks in such
ami tho Philadelphia Press, and ali
aifectation about Blainc'a candidacy

A CURIOUS CASE.
An Aged Couple Charged with
Kidnapping Their GraMd-
Aa N n Ipfer.


Kidnapping Their Grand-
daughter.
About six years ago Frank Burgers, the
proprietor of the National City Record, was
engaged to be married to Lizzie Baker, the
daughter of a well-known citizen of this
community, now residing in Azusa. The
match was not happy one, and u year after
the marriage. VOWS had been proclaimed
proceedings for divorce were instituted and
a decree ntsi granted. By mutual consent
the child was handed over to the charge of
the parents Of the mother, and both Of the di-
vorced par les subsequently, married again
The former Mrs. Burgers became Mrs Barker,
and removed to Oregon, returning from
there to Los Angeles few months ago. The
child, who had now grown to be cOmely
girl named Stella, occasionally visited and
cifed to make an effort to have her child
always with her; SO about ten days lago she
sent a notice to her father and mother stat
ing that she intended to keep her child in
her own custedy henceforth. Mr.; and Mrs:
sor row as their. granddaughter had en-
dea red herself to them during the
years OF her childhood and decided to re-
fuse the request, at the same time taking
protection of Mr.. Burgess, its father. A
writ of habeas corpus for the child was ap-
piled for and issued and placedi in the hands
Oi Constable Martin Aguirre, who tele-
graphed to James X. Russell, Con.
stable of National City, requesting
him to arrest Mr.. and N rs. Raker and to
hold them until his arrival. Mr.. Aguirre
then boarded the train and arrested the
aged couple, returning. with them to
this city yesterday. They feel very sorely
their situation, especially as their incarcer-
alton is due to the action of their daughter
and the peculiar circumstances attending
the case, they having been unremitting in
their attentions to the child during the
six years of its infancy.

Citrus Fair exhibit ready for the public as
expected last night They were however,
obliged to throw open Armory hall doors to
the many persons who would otherwise
have been disappointed. All day the work
of placing the golden array of fruits was
carried on by an extra force of men, but last
evening found only about twO-thirds of the
fruit in place, and only three or four
Disappointment, the visitor had only to take
~~general survey of the hall with its grand
pyramids, battlements. banks and hun
dred curious wrought exhibits of Southern
survey assures the visitor that the visit will
be a pleasant one and not to be regretted.
While 1t is possible there have been exhi-
bits in California that were equal in variety,
and appearance, there has never been dis
play that would compare with the present
one, not excepting the its parent, at River
side. Experts can but acknowledge that
in flavor and appearance which is remark
able for the short time Intervening between
the two sessions. The orchardists say this
is ON account of the fine wehther prevailing
ripened and colored the oranges. The
sight that will meet the visitors tonight
will be exceedingly charming.
In the center OF the room the PagOda
which was the attraction at River
side will draw the visitor
here. At the east and west ends of the hall
two unequalled pyramids of oranges re-
heve the center, while the sides of the hall
will be one mass of the golden apples, such
as defy the world to a comparison-yea, the
world. The stage will be decorated by a
Los Angeles florist, and even last night
was wilderness of tropical and semi-trop-
icai plants. In all the displays are much
more tastefully arranged than at the late
experience in arranging them. Ali this,
together with the additional space Armory
hall affords will naturally assist to make
the fair brilliant.success.
