THE BALLONA MYSTERY
No Cause Yet Assigned for Dominick Drey-
backs Death


Very little light has yet been thrown on
the mysterious death of Dominick Drey-
back, whose dead body was found last
Saturday in the Mesmer house at Bal
Iona.
Sheriff Burr has been inv estigating the
case, and although no conclusive evidence
has been found to substantiate the theory
of murder he is still of the opinion that
Dreybac met with foul play.
The package of tobacco which mystifed
the coroner's jury by the peculiar nscrip-
tions in French and German which were
written upon it was given to Drey back by
Charles Lansing, the tailor, who was
camping at Ballona a few days previous
to the disappearance of the deceased. {.
Mr.. Lansing says that Dreyback had
trouble with Louis Mesmer his employer,
on account of which he had quit working
for MIN; and that thereafter he seemed
very much depressed. When Mr. Lansing
and his family went away from Balona,
Dreyback hade Mrs. Lansing good bye
saving that she would probably never
again see HIM on this earth.

In commenting upon the appalling
growth of municipal centers at the ex-
pense of rural population, the San Fran
cisco Examiner asks if the conditions
which bring about such a state OF affairs
are due to natural causes. which cannot
be controlled, or to the greed and cupidity
of humanty-leaving it to lie inferred
that the latter might be amenable to re-
straint. Would the Examiner be pleased
to indicate a formula by which these par
ticularly human attributes can be con-
