DENNIS FOUND, BUT
MYSTERY IS DEEPER
tCOntinued from Page One,

in her eyes she explained in a broken
voice that she knew of nothing that
would cause her husband to depart.
ut is a closed incident with me
now" she said as she handed the let
ter to Under Sheriff Brain. Il Will
make no further effort to find him and
will regard him as dead"
Frank H. Dennis, only brother OF the
missing man, was also positive in his
statement that he knew of no hidden
secret held by his brother
ut is a mystery to me why he
should go; I cannot understand his
motive" he said His home life was
happy, his financial condition good.
Nothing occurRsd that would mar my
brothers life, so far as l am aware,
prior to the coming of the family to
Los Angeles from Salt Lake CITY more
than eleven years ago"
MIR. Dennis added his brother was
never married before, and search of
the records at the county clerks Of
flee bore out this assertion, no divorce

disclosed "a discrepancy in the state
ment maize by Mr.. Dennis that the
family came to Los Angeles only eleven
wears ago Five years prior to that
time application was made in the local
s11perior court on behalf of Willard
w Dennis for the appointment Of j..
M. Harvey of. Salt Lake City as his
guardian for the purpose of bringing
sIit To quiet title to a lot in the San
Pasoual tract owned by Dennis father,
charles J. Dennis. These records also
reveal the fact that the father was in
california as early as 1881, dying in
Los Angeles December 2 Of that year.
Investigation Dropped
Whether these facts can be said to
Indicate that the missing mans secret
affects not one member but the entire
Dennis family cannot be learned at
present.
That Dennis decided to leave the
citv following some incident that oc-
Cured either Wednesday or Thursday
is the belief of those associated with
him in the civil department at the
sheriff's office. Eugene Biscailuz, one
of his intimate friends, stated he had
been asked by Dennis Wednesday to
ioin a newly organized law class, but
the subject was not again referred to
"I was to give him my answer
Thursday, but he did not again refer
to the matter" said Biscailuz, land 1
believe something happened Wednes-
day night that put the idea of his 60
ing away into his mind. While always
apparently frank, Dennis never re-
ferred to any happenings in his life be-
fore we met. That was ten years
ago"

of One or More Unknown Men
at Rochester, N. Y.

Rochester, n. Y, Aug. 9.-Leaving her
home early on Saturday to place flow
ers on the grave of her father, Anna
Schumacher, II years old, who resides
with her mother in this city, was at
tackled by one or more unknown men,

body was dragged outside the ceme-

constabl Of the town Of Greece, who
found marks of a struggle I'm the Schu-

announce that a criminal assault had
preceded the murder. Particles of what
looked like skin were found under the

BOLIVIA SEEKS
WAR WITH PERU
With the Assistance of Chile
SeaCOaSt Outlet Might
Be Obtained.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Is Bolivia seek
ing a pretense to bring on war with
Peru?
This question is being asked by South
American diplomats who are watching
every development in the situation in
which Argentina, Bolivia and Peru are
directly interested and Chile and Bra
I'll indirectly.
Some of the diplomats profess to think
that the excitement in Bolivia over the
Argentine award, which was favorable
to Peru, is really a blind on the part
of the politicians there to bring about
an armed conflict with Peru, nominal
ly to secure a more satisfactory adjust
ment of the boundaries of the disputed
tract, but actually aimed at territorial
conquest.
Bolivia has no seacoast. A success
full war with Peru might give her an
outlet to the sea By demanding as an
indemnity Quegua province, the south
ernmost in Peru and adjoining the Chill
can frontier. In that province is the
excellent harbor of 10, at the mouth
of the river of that name.
Cniles probable attitude in the event
of hostiIitfes between Bolivia and Peru
is also being discussed with much ami
nation. Her financiers have been
spending considerable money in the
work of railroad construction in Boil
via, and the popular sympathies are be-
lieved to be with that country. Her
unfriendIiness to Peru dates back to
the Chilean Peruvian war of a quarter
of a century ago.
With Chile's assistance Bolivia would
have an advantage.

This morning there are but two trains TO
arrive bringing belated delegations to the
Grand Army encampment, according to
railroad authorities. and both of these are
on the Denver & Rio Grande. 1t is esti-
mated that during all day yesterday and
last night about $500 visitors arrived IN
Salt Lake City, and there are possibly
several thousand more who viii be here
by noon today. The special trains on the
Denver & Rio Grande, the Salt Lake
Route and the Oregon Short Line run
ming between nearby state points have
brought thousands TO the city and viii
bring many more today. It is estimated
that nearly 5000 visitors are now here,
and this number is considered fair estl-
mate Of the number of visitors constantly
in the city during the next several days
as many will come each day to take the
places of those who leave.
The trains to arrive this morning will
bring the New England delegates and
scattering delegates from various eastern
towns; also from Texas The trains are
due to arrive this morning at about 10
O'Clock, but are belated, and It Is not
known positively now when they viii get
it-probably, however, before 1 O'Clock.
