REDDING, Shasta County, July 10.
Though no earthquakes have occur
red in the vicinity of the town OF
Whitmore, twenty-eight miles north
east of. Redding, and a like distance
northwest OF Mount Lassen, land in
that vicinity is going askew. Fences
are falling out OF line, barbed wires
are swapping, trees are topping and
in some cases falling. Houses are
sinking out of line, new springs are
appearing and old ones are being
dried up.
These strange phenomena are most
pronounced on the place once owned
by the pioneer, John Whitmore, in
whose honor the settlement was nam
cd. In some places the ground has
settled from two to ten feet The

Ed Ryan Is Out
to Succeed Himself

Ed Ryan, who in this issue of the

Democratic candidate for State III
spector of Mines. has occupied the
office to which he again aspires fo:,
nearly six years. He was first ap-

1910 he made the race and won out
against strong OPPOSITE Before
coming to Nevada ten years ago, M-
Ryan had been a resident of Colo
rado and represented his district in
tie legislature of that state, helping
tC pass much legislation that made
for the good of the 1aboring classes
He was one of those arrayed against
the Colorado corporations, so strong
ly told in Judge Lindsay's story Of
the Beast In the Jungle"
Since occupying his present office
Mr.. Ryan has taken an active inter-
est in legislation and most of the
bills that were passed and intended
for the protection of the life and
limb of those who labor in the bow
els of the earth have been the result
Of his activity. Among these are
bills which provided resting places
for men compelled to climb out OF
shafts; placed gates on cages; caused
sprays to be placed on machines in
order to stop dust when drilling IN
dry and dusty slopes and raises;
caused sign-boards directing men to
outlets to be posted; compelled
keeping open connections between
contiguous mines; stopped storage Of
large quantities Of powder Under
ground; prohibited man from be-
ing worked in stope at such dis,
tance from another that his cries iii
case of need could not be heard, and
provided for use of chain ladders
when sinking.

Mineral county, passed through
Goldfeld Tuesday on his way to Los
Angeles to make an extended visit
with his family in that city. While

More of the Ennises

Investigation made into the car
reer of Victor Ennis discloses many
angles. The story told by people
who are acquainted with his past i'll
dicatcs that he was first married in
New York in 1898. One child was
the result of that union. after the
birth of which Ennis deserted his
wife. He became more or less of a
wanderer, and in Hong Kong,
China, about 1909, he met and
supposedly married the woman who
afterwards came to Carson and pass
ed as his wife. This woman was
Mrs. Ida Harbaugh, whose husband
died in Portland in 1908, and whom
she had left year oor two before.
AT the time Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
baugh were married the latter had a
son Arthur. Later son nam
ed Paul was born to the couple and
some time after this they adopted a
girl who was later known as Pearl
Harbau2h.
Ennis came TO Nevada in the lat
ter part of 1909 and gained residence,
securing a divorce from his first wife
in June, 1910. During his residence
here Mrs. Harbaugh came to Reno
and made her home there, frequently
coming to Carson to visit Ennis. She
had her twin children at that time.
After Ennis secured his divorce she
removed to Carson and made her
home with him. Her house in Reno
was occupied by her son Paul and
the foster daughter One day they
quietly Skipped out and were mar
ried and departed for Portland,
and are now living in the premises
in that city that Mrs Ennis claims
she owns. The twins who were in
Carson are with the young couple in
Portland, while Mrs. Ennis is sup
posed to be in the south.

rived and together they took up res
| idence in one OF John V1elra S
houses. Mrs. Dennis secured her di-
vorce in May of last year, being

holding the position till December,
when he asked for a months leave
of absence. This was granted and
he went to Portland with his wife
and the two children A little later

ing in Carson, about four years ago.

vorce he remained here a short time
and then left. ostensibly for New

MASKED BANDITS HOLD Up TRAIN
DYNAMITE SAFE AND MAKE ESCAPE

ST. LOUIS, July l0-The Mis-

for the southwest, was held up by
four masked bandits at Marson, Mo-,
about sixty miles southwest of here

The baggage, express and mail
cars were detached and run mile Up
the track, where the express safe was
blown to pieces with heavy charge
ot dynamite.
Officials of the American Express
company here, who took the next
train for the scene Of the holdup,
declared there was about ST 900 worth
of jewelry in the safe, but they could

secured several thousand dollars.
Blodhounds have been sent to the
scene from Moberly and Matthias
vile. A special train carried Sheriff
Dlerker and posse of deputies from
st. Chrales.
The bandits boarded the blind"
baggage and after riding three miles,
crawled to the cab and covered the
fireman and engineer with revolvers.
After detaching the coaches they
compelled the crew to run them up
the track at fast clip.
Done with their work of pillagins,
they ordered the crew back to the
train as fast as they came and they
themselves disappeared into the
woods. The crew brought the loco
motive back to Matson, left a report
of the affair and description of the
men and proceeded southwest.
The police of ST. Louis and all
towns in the vicinity were ordered to
watch for the bandits.

ATLANTA, Ga, July lO.-The
sending OF letter here from Sar
Francisco, signed with the names oi
Mrs. Elose Nelms Dennis, saying
she had killed her sister i'll New Or
leans and was preparing to slay her
brother in San Francisco, still puz-
zls the police today.
Investigation in New Orleans has
failed to uncover a trace OF the alleg-
cd crime Neither has any clew been
found as to the whereabouts of Mrs.
Dennis, who supposedly was i'll San
Francisco when the letter received
here by her mother, Mrs. John W
Nelms, was written.
Mrs. Nelms last night said the let
ter was in her daughters handwrit-
ing. She expressed the belief that it
had not been written voluntarily,
however, and that her daughter had
been forced to send the letter.
Mrs Dennis left here June 10 for
San Diego, Cal. She stopped in New
Orleans and was joined there june
l5 by her sister, Beatrice Nelms, who
followed from Atlanta. On June Ia,
it was learned here last night, Mrs.
Dennis cashed draft for 81 900 at
New Orleans bank.
Mrs. Nelms explained last flight
that the money was for the purpose
of finally closing up some invest
ments Mrs. Dennis had made in
Mexico. A telegram received from
the two daughters at New Orleans
June ia said they were leaving for
Houston Tex, on their journey to
San Antonio to close up the invest
ment.
A week later, Mrs. Nelms received
a telegram from Houston signed e.
and B." which said they planned to
stay in Houston few days longer.
Mrs. Nelms explained that the init
ials stood for "Eloise and Beatrice,
her daughters Christian names. The
last telegram received from the two
young women was on June ~. II
was dated New Orleans and signed
by both. 1t read:
Back in New Orleans. Am going
further west
No further information as to the
whereabouts OF the two young wo-
men was received until their mother
received the letter Tuesday, which
was postmarked San Francisco, July
3. and which purported to tell OF the
killing Of one OF her daughters.
A telegram was received late to-
day from Marshall Nelms, the son,
and brother, in San Francisco, which
said he was making every effort to
locate his sister.

Man Brought In Case

From telegraphic inquiries arriving
in Carson last night and this morn
irg from Atlanta, Georgia, papers. II
would appear that Victor E. Ennis
who resided in Carson up to last
December, plays an important role in
the Dennis mystery. The telegram
all request information as to his pres
ent abode, which seems to be buried
in doubt.
Ennis returned to Carson after a
previous residence during the pend
ency OF Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis
divorce proceedings and became her
