MISSING HENDRY.
ANOTHER MAN JOINS THE MISS
ING LEGION.
A Story from San Francisco of Disap-
pearance in Los Angeles-The ex-man-
ager of the Hudson Bay Company the
man.

A telegram to the Chronicle from
Los Angeles brings the news OF the mys.
ferrous disappearance OF Thomas Hendry
who was until recently manager for the
Hudson Bay company at Victoria, says
that paper OF Tuesday.
The dispatch says Hendry went to
Los Angeles few months ago from this
city, having satchel with him contain.
ing $4,000 in cash, which he intended to
invest in land somewhere in Southern
California. He put up at the Natick
house few days and then went off into
the country, taking his satchel along.
He has not been heard of since.
The missing mans wife went to Los
Angeles and enlisted the service OF the
police department in tracing her miss
ing spouse. The police searched high
and low for Hendry, but could obtain
no clew as to his whereabouts. With
the gravest apprehensions for the safety
Of her missing husband, Mrs. Hendry
returned to San Francisco and took up
her residence in the apartments at pa
Powell street which she had occupied
with her husband several months pre-
vious. to his departure for Los Angeles.
The Hendry family is well known and
of good standing in British Columbia.
A brother OF the missing man, John
Hendry, is the proprietor of the Royal
City Planning mills at Westminster, and
is quite wealthy.
When seen by a Chronicle reporter
Yesterday Mrs. Hendry was extremely
reluctant to cay anything about the
affair, and expressed the greatest regret
that the disappearance OF her husband
should be discussed in the newspapers.
She said the sum carried by Mr.. Hendry
was somewhat overrated, but admitted
that he did have considerable money
with him. She inclines to the belief
that no harm has come to him, but that
he has gone off somewhere, as he had
often limited. to make fortune.
1t seems that the success of Mr.. Hen
aroused a feeling of rivalry in the mis-
made the assertion that so ne day
would bring fortune to him on her
knees.
He was tall man, decidedly blonde,

dispatch from Los Angeles described
Mrs. Hendry as a charming woman,
young and pretty There is no fiattery
formed, with dark hair and eyes, and
upon her cheeks.
Hendry's satchel was too rich prize to
~ 30
characters, and that he has met with
foul play.
From various circumstances, how
ever, as we'll as from the decidedly hope
full view taken by the wife, there is rea-
son to)believe that Hendry has really
gone off somewhere to make break"
and that before long he will return safe
and sound.
During his stay in San Francisco
Hendry sought employment in the va
rious commercial houses here. He was
we'll recommended, having letters from
some of the leading citizens of Victoria.
He failed to find remunerative employ
ment, however, and grew discouraged.
Then he determined to try Southern
California, and went to Los Angeles
with the avowed purpose of finding
good-paying investment for his modest
fortune.
Mrs. Hendry says he left her we'll pro-
vided for in financial way and prom
ised to write to her frequently. Several
letters came from Los Angeles, but since
his departure from that city Mrs.
Hendry has lost all trace of him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hendry have no chill
dren living. Mrs. Hendry will remain
in San Francisco at present, still hoping
that the next mail will bring tidings of
her missing husband.
