and contractors in connection with the
Dunning insane asylum scandal at special
session of the eating committee held

ENGINEER LoEsCHER FOUND.
Arrest of the Drunken Youth Who Caused
the Denrer Horror.


the Denrer Horror.
DENVER, Colo, Aug. 23.-Word was
received by the police authorities late to-
night of the arrest in Antonito, Colo, this
evening, OF Elmer Loescher, the missing
engineer of the Gumry Hotel, who disap-
peared from view Immediately after the
explosion Monday morning. The theory
is that the engineer while drunk allowed
the water in the boiler to become low, and
later turning in a supply of cold water
caused the explosion which wrecked the
building and killed twenty-five people.
Loescher admitted his identity, but re-
fused to talk of the matter further than to
say that it was an accident. 1t is evident
that he was making his way to Mexico
when captured upon description sent
out from this city.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 24.-The Her
AIDS cable from Lima, Peru, says: The

the Government if they would remain in
Puno, but they refused and returned to this
city.
Minister Candamo this afternoon hid
a long conference with the Bolivian Min.
lister to Peru, and it is arranged that Peru's
representative will be received at La Paz
on Monday, where the question of a Peru
Wan salute to the flag of Bolivia will be
submitted to an arbitrator chosen from
one of the American States. This is off,
cial and is triumph for Senor Candamo.
