FIGHTING FOR
CUSTODY OF CHILD
M'CRACKEN DIVORCE SUIT ON
TRIAL
EACH ALLEGES MISCONDUCT
Husband and Wife Name Co. respond.
ents, and Court Room Is Closed
to Spectators During
tha Trial
A seven-year-old girl, one of the
prettiest and smartest youngsters ever
«een In a local court room, Is the bone
of contention In the divorce stilt of
Mrs. Elsie McCraeken, Instituted yes
terday against W. K. McCraeken, her
husband, alleging misconduct. •
Not to be backward, McCraeken, who
Js an employe ot a South Broadway
furniture company, has come forward
with a similar charge against his wife,
and, with honors even, the couple ore
fighting for the possession of the child
and for liberation from each other In
Judge Conrey's department of the su
perior court.
Such are the details In the case that
the doors of the court room, wherein
the case Is being heard, were kept
tightly closed all day, with the bailiff
constantly In attendance to keep all
spectators from the room.
In company with her little relative,
Jewel McCraeken, Aileen, the seven
year-old daughter of the contestant?,
spent yesterday playing in the corri
dors of the court room and romping
around the witnesses room, while within
a dozen feet of her, her parents were
calling each other hard names and en
deavoring with all their might and main
to sever all the sacred ties supposed
to exist between husband and wife.
The principal evidence hinges upon
an occurrence of several months past,
In which it Is alleged, Mrs. Cracken
came very nearly being shot.
When McCraeken heard that his wlfo
had filed suit for divorce he immedi
ately filed, a counter complaint, alleg
ing misbehavior on the part of Ms
wife and naming a physician, with
whom she has been studying osteo
pathy, as the co-respondent.
A portion of the evidence was taksn
yesterday and it is expected that the
greater part of today will be neces
sary to complete the case.
HEAVY BLAST WRECKS
- FOREST HEIGHTS HOME
Fortunately Family of J. R. Gee Was
/absent at the Time, No Injuries
Resulting From Accident
The home of J. R. Gee, 2916 Brooklyn
avenue, was almost wrecked Wednes
day afternoon when a heavy blast was
exploded by workmen on the Forest
Heights tract, just across the road from
the Gee residence.
Windows were shattered in the front
part of the dwelling, the plastering was
knocked from the celling In a number
of places and pictures were thrown to
the floor. Xo one was hurt, as the
occupants of the building were absen*
at the time of the explosion.
In clearing up the Forest Heights
tract, J. H. Beeson, the contractor, ha-=
for the last week, been cutting down
a high bluff just opposite the Gee
home. Blasting powder has been nsel
continually in this operation, but it is
thought that the blast which partially
wrecked the house on Brooklyn avenue,
was overcharged.
The workmen drilled a deep hole in
the edge of the embankment, and, when
the charge was exploded "Wednesday
afternoon, it is said, considerable loose
gravel and stones were thrown even
beyond Mr. Gee's house.
An investigation of the condition of
the house was made by Stone & Blade,
agents for the property, and it is said
that considerable repairs will be neces
sary before the house Is in proper
condition again.

BERT M. GORRELL
POSTMASTER APPOINTED
FOR NEW CITY OFFICE
South Los Angeles Citizens Pleased
With Recent Change In Mail
Facilities
Kert M. Gorrell has been appointed
postmaster fur the new Adams street
station. He has received his official
papers from Washington and the post
oflice will be fitted up near the corner
of Central avenue and Adams street.
Much dissatisfaction arose among the
people of South Los Angeles regarding
th>! removal of the old station to
Main and Washington streets, abo'.u
two month? ago, and action was taken
by residents, resulting In the estab
lishment of a new postonice.
Mr. Gorrell if an enterprising young
man, coming from Fort 'Wayne, Ind.,
about n year and a half ago. He had
been employed In journalistic work,
having- at one lime edited the New
Haven (Indiana) News, and at another
the Payne (Ohio) Press-Review^
A CLEAN MAN. '
Outside cleanliness is less than hal!
the battle. A man may scrub himself •
dozen times a day, and m
still be unclean. Good *W.
health means cleanliness tfSJ
not only outside, but in- Jt £m^
side. It means a clean MM~^M&k
stomach, clean bowels, i^g-'. c 'Eftt
clean blood, a clean J»B''''^»»
liver, and new, clean, MtfK&-S**W
healthy tissues and fi- fig I3| jl| MT
bers in every organ of 1^ JB-*P'B
the body. ' The man *a| JS ;. : §ft
who is clean in this
way will look it and act TfJ i\§
it. He will work with »'* ' '
energy and think clean, clear, healthy
thoughts.
He will never be troubled with liver,
lung, stomach or blood disorders. Dys-
pepsia and indigestion originate in
unclean stomachs. Blood diseases are
found where there is unclean blood.
f Consumption and bronchitis
mean unclean lungs. Dr.
Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery prevents these
diseases. It makes a man's
insides clean and healthy.
It cleans the digestive or-
gans, makes pure, clean
blood, and clean, healthy
flesh. It doesnt make the
flabby fat of corpulency,
but the firm flesh of health.
It restores tone to the nervous system,
and cures nervous exhaustion aud
prostration. It contains no alcohol
to inebriate or create craving for injuri-
ous stimulants.
Mr. John L. Couglienour, of Glen Savage,
Somerset Co., Pa., writes : "My appetite was
unusually poor, and I was as weak ami nerv-
ous as though I had been starved for mouths.
My heart kept throbbing continually aud I was
short of breath. Fiually I wrote to you for ad-
vice and you informed me that 1 had indigestion
and a torpid liver. I did not think your diag-
nosis was right, but I ordered six buttles of
1 Golden Medical Discovery ' from you and beijan
its use. After using three bottles I began to im-
prove slowly and soon went to work, and I have
been workiug ever since."
Constipation is the most unclean un-
cleanliness. Dr. l'ierce's Pleasant Pel-
lets cure it. They never gripe.
