Both Want Her.

session of Ethel Ridley came up today
before Judge Harper.

that Ethel Ridley was given away by

to Jesus Teran and his wife, who
legally adopted the child, complying
with all the requirements Of the law.
The adoption was made in this county
in 1895.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ridley have now de-
cided that they want their child back
and demand possession of her again.
Ethel Ridley is now nine years Of
age. and does not appear especially
anxious to leave her foster parents,
who it is said have provided her with
q good home.
