MRS. BooGAR HAS THE BABY-A wild
rumor was on the streets last evening to the
effect that Mrs. Catherine BOogar, who mas had
so much trouble of late with her eccentric Old
husband, Philip BoOgar, from whom she is try
Ing TO get a divorce and some portion of his
S15o,0oo estate, was again making her name
prominent before the public.
The story was that she had gone 10 the resi-
dence of Mrs. Frazier, living on Moss avenue
and had there CIR ated such 4 disturbance over
tie possession of sweet little twO-vear-old
girl baby that the Frazier family had been
compelled TO Vacate.

biocdless battle. Ii appears that Mrs. Buogar
has half brother named Collins living at
Blsbee. AriZ.. and he sent up word for his
sister, Mrs. BOOgar The has another sister living
in Oakland, Mrs. Ambrose. on Moss av nue(

gladly proposed doing, since her own boy Is
now almost young man.

WHO haa been stopping at Mrs. Frazer's for
tne past I'VE months.
Mrs. wills adopted daughter had been mar
rled TO Collins aud the young couple moved 10
Bisbee, where the baby was born, and IN giving
birth To the child gave no her own life. The
child, too was feeble little mite, and tn doc
tors sta led that it must be taken our of that
country TO save its life, and Mrs. wills, at the
suggestion OF The father, brought the baby to
Oakland, where II thriveG, and as 1t grew en-
twjned Itself about the heat of its grand
mother, who learned 10 love it as her own.
H.,
very much surprised. she says, when Mrs. Boo
gar made demand for IL aud showed the order
TO that effect from the father.
This Is the whole story as told by Mrs.
Frazier, who says she did leave the house when
Mrs. Boogar came TO get the child. but not for
The reason that she feared trouble or that there
was trouble, but simply mot 10 be mixed MP
