Donations-The Permanent Chicago
Exhibit.

Mr.. G. L. Lloyd, the Santa Barbara
delegate to the Chicago orange carnival.
was in the city for few hours yester-
day. Mr.. Lloyd is on his way home
from Chicago, and has been reported
missing. In response to inquiries he
said he had taken portion of the Santa
Barbara exhibit to Sioux City, Iowa,
where he remained for some time and
then returned to Chicago. He has been
in correspondence with his family and
could not imagine what gave rise to the
story of his disappearance.
In speaking of Mr.. Hanchette, he
said he believed him to be insane. Dur
ing the exhibition he appeared to be
laboring under some intense mental
strain, and his actions appeared to Mr..
Lloyd to be peculiar, to say the least.
At the close of the exhibition MIR. Han
chette told him he had not been able to
sleep for three nights.

members who desire to visit the big
sugar factory at Chino has been set for
