.GENtWEVE DOWSETT
IS MRS. DUNBAR

STOCKTON, August 12-Miss Gene
| We've Dowsett, who is said to have
been Tilted by Prentiss Gray, president
of the Associated Students of the Uni
versity of California and football play
er, has not gone into mourning by any
means.
She was married in this CITY TODAY
to Stuart Boyd Dunbar, who gave his
age as 23 and his residence as Belye-
dere. Miss Dowsett confessed to 20
years before the County Clerk when
asked her age and also gave Belvedere
as her home.
Every effort had been made to keep
the wedding a secret The couple came
to Stockton yesterday, but carefully
avoided publicity. As both appeared to
be desirous of escaping any mention
in the papers, they avoided the hotels
or registered under assumed names, if
they went to one.
While little is known here of Dun
bar, he is said to be an estimable
young Wan and to have been ac-
quainted with Miss Dowsett for some
time. She seems to have decided that
he is a "man,' as she declared when
Prentiss Gray begged to be excused
from marrying her that she would
love ga man and not cad' hereafter.
THE BROKEN ENGAGEMENT.
BERKELEY, August 11-This is
story of loves disillusionment, but
there are no broken hearts involved.
The dramatis personae are two in num-
ber, with the stern. forbidding figure
of an irate parent in the background
The principals in this little comedy of
real life are Miss Genevieve Dowsett,
Hawaiian belle, as popular in Berke-
ley as she is in Honolulu, and Prentiss
Gray, president of the associated
students of the University of Cali
fornia, football player and once hero
at large. !.
Both have been dreaming young
loves dream and the solitaire ring
that Miss Dowsett had worn up to yes
terday on the third finger of her left
hand was the envy and admiration of
all'her girl chums. But the ring has
vanished and when the Hawaiian
beauty returned it to her lover she is
reported to have said these words:
'When love again-I wish to love
a man-not a cad."
1t was generally made known in Uni
NcfoitN cifcits yeSttruuy tndL frentlSs
Gray had broken his engagement with
Miss Dowsett because of his wealthy
fathers threat-that If he persisted IN
marrying the young lady he would have
to shift for himself in life.
Papa Gray is one of Oakland's capi-
talists, and he did not look with favor
upon the engagement OF his son to
Miss Dowsett, in spite of the fact that
only last summer the young lady saved
the youth from drowning in the waters
of California summer resort The
romantic incident which ultimately led
to the engagement that has just been
broken did not appeal to the Oakland
lumber magnate. He issued stern de-
cree that the engagement must be
broken forthwith, and his obedient son
repaired to the house of his fiancee to
explain the situation.
The explanations the young lover
offered were not satisfactory to the
high-spirited girl. Bitter recrimina-
tions are said to have followed his
demand that he be released from the
embarrassing situation in which he
found himself. But when she realized
that her idol had only feet of clay
after all il is understood that she told
him She was glad she had discovered
the fact before she went to the altar
with him, and after an angry scene
she is said to have shown Gray the
door with the words quoted above. And
this is the tale that is the talk of
the University town today.
