Wife in Hungary
VIII Await His
Return in Vain

Somewhere in Hungary a wife is
toiling TO support herself and her
little son. She is waiting praying
for the war to end. so that her nus
band in America may return with
the dollars so easily picked up in
this land of the free.
But Joseph Bozit will not return
after the war, nor will the dollars
ne promised ever buy food for his
needy loved ones. For "a hours his
body had lain in Orvis mOrgue, un-
identified. uncalled for. 1t had been
recovered from the ST Joseph river
by detectives Thursday evening, aft
er a five-hour battle with the rap
ids. three-quarters of mile above
the fOur-mile bridge.
Friday night James Nemeth. who
had lived with BOzit at the Wash
ington hotel, Scott and Railroad SITS.
asked Capt. Schock at the police
station to let him view the body,
which he Immediately identified.
Bozit and Nemeth, il seems, had
formed a partnership, the sole asset
of which was one rowboat. Its OBJ
ject was TO catch fish i'm the river
for sale on South Bend markets.
The two had esta blished a camp on
the river bank near St Mary's acad
envy.
Last Monday Nemeth came TO the
city with a mess of fish. Bozit
started out in the rOwboat. Mem
eth returned Tuesday morning. but
saw no more of his partner or the
rowboat. Thursday night he re-
turned to town and searched the en-
tire lower west side, thinking Bozit
had been there. Hearing of the
drowned man, he came to the police.
The body will be buried this morn
ing in the City cemetery.
