g PASADENA, June ga clever capture
was made here this afternoon by Post
Office Inspector Flint assisted by Post
master Kernaghan and United States
Marshal Jenkins, man by the name OF
Burr being arrested for using the mails
for illegal purposes.
Some time ago considerable comment
waa raised in this city caused by an ad-
vertisement which was inserted in the
, San Francisco Examiner. as follows:
A NTCE-LooKING, INTELLIGENT YOUNG
IA lady, with some property and more IN
prospect, desires the acquaintance of respect
able young or mddlssged gentleman; moT13
Address Miss k. L. s., box 1888, Pasadena, Cal.
Much curiosity was aroused over the
mysterious E. L. s., and some amateur
detective work was done in an endeavor
to ferret out the supposed maiden, but
to no purpose. The postal authorities,
however, became suspicious from the
large mail which was being received at
box 1888 that something was wrong and
q watch was kept for the party calling
for its contents, which resulted in the
discovery that the maiden all forlorn
was good-sized man with big black
mustache. From evidence received the
inspector became positive that the fellow
was skinning his correspondents and
caused his arrest today about noon, just
as he was leaving the office with his
mail. On being arrested he gave his
name "a Burr and his residence as Los
Angeles, whittier he was at once taken
by Marshal Jenkins. The case will
doubtless prove an interesting one when
ii comes up in the United States court.
AN EARLY BLAZE.
An alarm was turned in about A 80
O'Clock this morning, caused by barn
catching fire at the rear of the Dillman
residence on Burton street.

and her daughter. Mrs. Heath, for stor-
ing away their trunks, which contained
