RUNAWAY COUPLE CAUGHT.

Unromautic Ending OF au Elopeme INT by
santa Barbara Couple.
Frank Worail, charged with abduc-
tion, and Meggie Wheeler, charged with
vagrancy, we're among the arrivals at the
county Jail yesterday. This is decidedly
an unromantic ending for a runaway
couple, but such are the two. He is
about 20 years of age. and sells books for
a living, while she is not yet Is years OF
age, and for her living lives with her
mother in Santa Barbara.
The old lady has not looked with much
favor upon the attentions of Worall, aud
they young people decided to take matters
into their own hands, which they did
by quietly coming to Los Angeles about
a week ago last Monday. They regis
tered at the NRdesu, and from there went t
to the Ramona.
The girls mother hired detectives to
locate the young people. This was done
this week, and Constable Stom OF Santa
Barbara came down here to arrest them.
They were taken to the county jsil
yesterday. They consulted G. q. Ste
phens, and that attorney advised them
to be married by contract. which they
did at the jail yesterday. Both seem to
be very much in love with each other,
but when askel why they had not been
married, the man did not givs any sat-
islscSory excuse. Constable Stom will
take Them back today, when explana-
tions and recoaciliations will doubtless
be in order.

A MISSING CHILD.
Believed to Hava Been Abducted by
Her Grandmothsr.

Believed to Havs Been Abducted by
Her Grandmother.
San Diego Union: In Los Angeles
last Monday the little 3-year old dsugh.
ter Of Louis NJ. Suples was abducted
from her home, and the parents and q
number OF detectives have failed thus
far to find any definite trace OF the
child.
Mr.. Suplee formerly lived in San
Diego and was identified with the
Cedros Island Mining company in the
capacity Of secretary. He was also q
stockholder in the company, and ia
poorer today on that account, for the
manner ia which the mines were op-
Grated was not profitable. After losing
money in that enterprise he moved to
Los Angeles and it is said, was forced
by reason OF his financial circu instances
to accept an ordinary clerkship as the
only means OF gaining q livelihood for
himself and family.
Formerly, in his better days, Mr..
Suplee's wife Travelled extensively, and
on one occasion made trip to Europe
with her mother, Mrs. Calhoun, who
was the almost constant companion of
her daughter and who was exceedingly
jealous OF her companionship, even
toward Mr.. Suplee, and who felt more
keenly even than her daughter the
changed financial condition of her SON
ip-law. This jealousy, it is learned.
frequently rendered circumstances un-
pleasant in the Suplee home. Peace
was not the more conspicuous by reason
OF the fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Snplee's
little daughter passed considerable time
in her grandmother's company.
1t was but natural, therefore, when
Mr.. Suplee's little girl disappeared the
other day, that his suspicious should
rect upon his mother-in.lxw. But every
effort failed in discovering any trace OF
the child. Mr.. Suplee was OF the opin-
ion that the child had been brought to
San Diego, and took steps TO locate her
in this city. A local detective Is now
working on the case. Mr.. Suplee's sus-
picion that his child wae brought here
ia baeed partly upon the fact that it is
near ths Mexican boundary line, over
which the child might be quickly spir.
tied in the event of close purauit, and
partly owing to the statement of Con-
ductor Knowlton OF the Southern Cal.
ifornia railway, who remembers that q
little girl Of or 4 years was q passenger
from Los Angeles to this city on the
train last Tuesday. in company with u
lady. whose description has passed from
his mind.

John d. German. who resides in the
southeast part OF the city, was convicted
OF carrying concealed weapons. He
stated that he had been merely taking
the pistol home, as he never carried
weapons. He was fined So.
Augustine Franco, the little seller Of
tamales, was acquitted OF the charge of

become involved in some kind of @ dis
pute, which ended in fight.
Charles Gregory, charged with having
embezzled q wagon, will be tried July
21st at 10 a. m.
Charles Bitlof pleaded not guilty to q
charge of having disturbed the peace
and his case will be heard tomorrow at

Eva Hsdlev, q prominent resident OF
the Eighth ward, residing at 438 Ala
media street. evidently likes the appear
ance OF Justice Seaman's court room as
she was up there again Yesterday. This
time she had to answer to charge OF
battery preferred by Florence Bernhardt.
Florence stated that the battery had
taken place ON Wednesday afternoon.
She was standing on the sidewalk in
front of Miss Hadley residence on Ala
media street waiting for "lady" friend
to come out of the house. Instesd OF
the friend Eva appeared, and going up
to the complainant asked why sine had
her house pulled" last Sunday morn
ing. It was most unkind, Eva claimed,
for Florence to try to damage
her reputation and break up the
business at the house. Eva became
more excited and applied some foul
names to the witness, who repeated
them, without any simpering, to the
court. After some more words, Eva
struck Florence on her damask cheek.
Eva took the stand and denied having
treated the complainant 80. She stated
that she had no idea of hitting Florence,
and merely shook her finger in her face.
Her hand hit Florence's hat and
knocked it on one side, thia being the
extent, she claimed. to which Florence
had been battered.
Justice Seaman fined Eva $5 though,
after her little talk. She paid it and
swept out of the courtroom.
Several drunks were fined sums
varying from 50 to IS.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.


A Passenger Train With Pullmans and q
Freight Started North.
The two signal events of the day at
the Arcade depot yesterday were the
sending out of an overland passenger
train to San Francisco. and later in the
day freight to the same destination.
The departure of the first train with a
guard of troops was presaged in this
paper yesterday, and when the an
nouncement was posted up at the
Southern Pacific ticket Office ON Spring
ntreet that the northern overland would
leave at IL o'clock, it was felt that a
crisis had been reached in the railroad
strike as far as this section was con-
cerned. The train was made up of a
mail car, two baggage, three tourist and
one Pullman sleeping car.
There we're quite number of passen-
gers on board the train. but the Pull
man was not occupied. The first train
for the north out OF this city pulled out
OF the depot at noon. 1t was under
guard of Lieutenant L. H. Strother,
with Company B of the First infantry,
and each man carried 100 rounds of am.
munition and three days travel ration.
The regulars will 20 through to San
Francisco with the train, and in the
event Of any trouble at either Teha-
chepi or Bakersfield, the troops, on
the first overt act, will pump some
cold lead into the parties who may at
tempt to interfere with the progress of
the train.
The usual details were sent out on the
locals yesterday, and they had nothing
OF an exciting nature to report on their
return to the camp. Lieutenant Winn
was officer OF the day, and Lieutenant
Binns officer of the guard. For the past
two days the men OF the companies
have been allowed two hours leave in
rotation, three being out from each com.
pany at time to give them an oppor-
tunity to stretch their legs and see the
city.
1t has been ascertained that the stone
thrown through the window of one of
the cars of the Santa Barbara local on
Tuesday evening must have been hurled
by someone at Tropico. At an early
hour yesterday morning one Of the
Southern Pacific watchmen discovered
another attempt to wreck trains by
bleckading the main line north. He
found that at different points along the
Lhck III tuo uol&hUoIuoou VI lEOpicC
18 railroad ties had been disturbed.
These were quickly and quietly re-
moved, and there was no interruption
of the local morning trains. Trains are
run very cautiously both in entering
and going out of the city.
At 2:30 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
the first freight train for the north was
sent out, with mixed crew. The train
was made up of two locomotives and ten
cars, and while it was being made up in
the yards at the San Fernando street
station quite crowd gathered on the
bridge across the yard and shouted
"scab" and other opprobrious epithets
at the trainmen. The crowd was finally
driven of the bridge by policemen and
deputy United States marshals, and the
train pulled slowly out of the yard.
The Southern Pacific did not attempt
to send ont an overland train for the
north last night, as the officials. were
anxious to see what kind of reception
overland No. Is, sent out at noon, would
receive before they sent out another
train.
