Fact Established by Find
ing Of Her False Teeth.
Dentist Norton Positively Iden-
titles Them as Hers.
News Of More Missing PeopIs...un.
Identified Dead Buried.

La Porte, Ind, May 19.-Louis Schitz
the expert miner, today found what
the officials here pronounce the false
teeth of Mrs. Bella Guinness, who it
is thought murdered a dozen persons.
The lower set of teeth tallies exactly
with the description furnished by DR..
/. B. Norton, the dentist who built
the bridge and who today positively
identified the teeth as those of Mrs.
Guinness. In view of the unmistakable
evidence Coroner Mack stated this
evening that he probably would render
an official finding that the burned fe-
male body is that of Mrs. Guinness.
The grand jury continued with the
case Of Ray Lamphere, charged with
the murder of the Guinness family.
There is little expectation that the
trial Of Lamphcre will take place this
spring.
Sheriff Shutter is investigation the
claim that William Riedinger, farm
err at Delfield Wis, was one of Mrs.
Guinness victims. In a letter received
today David Hickman. friend liv
ing at Waukeshak Wis, tells of the
disappearance from home of Riedinger,
who left for some place in northern
Indiana ITO marry wealthy widow"
A month later his hired man, John
HeintZelman, received letter in
structinS him to sell the stock and
farm implements and put the money in
the bank Although the letter was I'M
signed and not in the handwriting of
ReidinGer the hired man followed the
instructions and deposited 5000 in the
bank. where it is today, for Reidinger
never returned nor was he heard from
after that.
Miss Jennie Graham. Waukcshak.
Wis, is seeking her brother, who left
homo to marry a rich widow in
Indiana, and never again was heard
from.
What is considered proof that Henry
Gurholdt of Scandinavia was put out
of the way by Mrs. Guinness was sup
piled today when Sheriff Shutter re-
ceivcd letter containing a description
of GurhOldt's watch, which taliies with
one Of the watches found in the ruins
of the burned mouse. Gurholdt had
$500 in cash when he left home to
come to La Porte to see Mrs. Guinness,
with whom he had correspondent.
Sheriff Shutter tonight received a
telegram from Usage. Iowa. that Mrs
Guinness had been seen and positively
identified by two persons. They ask
for instructions regarding her arrest
Sheriff Shutters answer was that
Mrs. Guinness is dead.
The seven unidentified dead were
buried today in the Potter's field.

I am 81 years old. lost my health
about six or seven years ago. I first

doctors.
Last year injured one Of my kidneys.
I had one Of the best doctors for that.
He put me to bed, not to move for two
weeks.
I slowly recovered, but was so weak
and Frustrated that could walk but a
short distance. In fact I had to keep
quiet.
1 took several remedies, but obtained
no relief. l also had catarrh in some
form.
My wife advised me to take Peruna,
and it is with pleasure that I can say
that by taking one and one-half bottle
of your Peruna, it cured me and feel
all right. send this with many thanks
to you, as enjoy life again.
NY wife has also been taking your
Peruna for asthma and it helps to re-
lieve her. We keep your Peruna in
the house constantly. Again I say
