CORPSE WAS NOT
HORTON s FIANCEE
MRS. ARMSTRONG SAFE AT
DoWNEY RANCH
Brother In Santa Barbara Not In
cIinsd to Believe That His
Sister Was Alive TIL
Reassured

Because of an anonymous letter and
brothers fears los Angeles and
Santa Barbara detectives sought yes
terday to find the whereabouts of Mrs.
Clara Armstrong, said to be the fiancee
of T. Posey Horton of Calabasas.
Somehow the impression gained
ground that Mrs. Armstrong answered
the description Of the woman found
murdered In Temesca1 canyon, but she
herself dissipated this impression as
soon as she read about the anonymous
letter.
She hurrledly came to Los Angeles
from Dowhey, where she has been
staying, incidentally berating her
Santa Barbara brother, Lieutenant
Horace Law Of the fire department
for entertaining fears for her safety.
Prepares for Nuptials
Mrs. Armstrong it appears has been
resting quietly at Mrs. Fred Wells
ranch on the outskirts of Downey un-
aware of the tragedy lurking in Temes-
cal canyon which I-orton uncovered
by driving his horse to within sight of
the unfortunate victim.
l.. Spencer of Los Angeles, brother
in-law Of Mrs Armstrong, said last
night:
1--WE regret this notoriety. Mrs. Arm
strong has seen Mr.. Horton in the last
day or two and I expect they will be
married within six weeks.
"Some of the newspapers have been
unkind in their insinuations about Mr..
Horton, but we are satisfied that he
deserves the good opinion all of his
friends have for him."
Santa Barbara Advices
That much interest was shown in
Santa Barbara in the case is apparent
from the following dispatch sent from
there at noon yesterday by the Asso-
ciated Press
SANTA BARBARA, Aug 16.--Tn
spite of unofficial news from Los An
geles stating that Mrs. Clara Arm
to be the victim of the Santa Monica
canyon tragedy, had been located in
Los Angeles, relatives here are much
worried and fear the worst.
The fact that Mrs. Armstrong was
engaged to marry Posey Horton this
month and the circumstances sur
rounding the finding of the body by
him, coupled with the latter's disap-
pearance from friends in Los Angeles,
provided cause for apprehension ON the
part of Mrs. Armstrong; relations
letter received by Detective Kelley
reached them.
Lieutenant Horace Lawn of the fire
department, brother of Mrs. Arm
strong, is greatly worried because he
does not hear from his other sister,
Mrs. l.. Spencer, 1876 Fresno street, Los
Angeles, who is supposed to have seen
Mrs. Armstrong about ten days ago.
He has also been unable to commune
cate with Mrs. Wells of Downey, with
whom Mrs. Armstrong resided. Lawn
said: r
81 won't be satisfied that my sister is
alive and well until I hear definitely
from some one who has seen her within
the last few days.
''The news that has come from Los
Angeles has been too vague and think
that some of my relatives there would
surely have sent a definite denial if
they had been in position to do so.
Mrs. Armstrong was engaged to
marry Horton, and when / first read
of the Santa Monica mystery I feared
for her safety

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain hege and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or oyer~busY doctor, sep arate and distinct diseases, for which he, assuming them to be such, prescribes his pills and pOtions. In reality, they are all only svmptoms caused by some uterine disease. The physician, ignorant of the c0ssse of suffering, encourages this prac- tice until large bills are made. The suf- ferinR patient gets no better, but probably worsa, by reason of the delay, wrong treatsnent and consequent complications.

DRAWING AND PDNMANsHIP.
Exhibition of Work Done By Public
 School Pupils.


 An interesting exhibit which has been placed in position for public inspection at the annual commencement exer- cises of the Girls High School this week, Is that prepared by Will Ander- , son. Supervisor of Drawing and Pen manship in the city schools. from speci- mems of work done in these depart ments by nearly 1000 pupils of the schools of Montgomery.
 The exhibit, which includes in the neigfiborhood of 500 specimens of pen- manship. and a like number of draw ings, was hung on the walls of the au- ditorium at the Girls Ugh School building yesterday afternoon, and will be on exhibition at that place from 4 to o'clock this afternoon and tomor- row.
 Every grade in the city schools. from the high school to the first grade, is represented in the specimens of writing. These show the development of the system of penmanship advocated by the local Board of Education. the semi- slant, and the results obtained by the most proficient of the pupils. Pen and ink sketches and water color drawings, the work of pupils in the first eight grades, constitute the drawing exhibit. The specimens are arranged in order from the first grade to the last, increasing in difficulty and training according to the experience of the pupils, This Is the first year that drawing has been taught in the first grade in the public schools, and some of the water color work of the tiny children are especially worthy of notice.
 One of the features of this branch of the exhibit is a panel composed of sketches made by more proficient pupils in the eighth, seventh and sixth grades. the majority of them from natural ob- jects, which have been pronounced as possessing unusual merit.
