A belated letter from Lieutenant
Ray Grantham, Signal Corps, U. S. A
reaching S. C. Anderson of this city
on the reent mail, discloses that the
well known signal officer was In
France with the American forces on
Sept. 28th. last, although apparently
enjoying none of war’s strenuous ex
periences. Lieut. Grantham writes
that he was located in some part of a
grape vineyard in France but just
where it was he did not know. He
was only sixty days in reaching
France from Nome and says he had
been moving steadily ever since land
ing. Although not situated within
Sound of the big guns, he says, it was
easy to see that he was in a warring
country. He declares the country is
Just about 1000 years behind civiliza
tion and describes in amusing manner
the absence of sanitation as- indicated
by the building of houses and barns
adjoining one another. The French
seem to thrive on it he says and he
has seen men and women of greatly
advanced age living with the hogs
and chickens. Regarding the war.
he says it is not use to try to tell a ty
thing about it as his correspondent
reads and knows more about tt than
himself. German prisoners wera to

Clippings from Outside papers ar
livng yesterday report a most re
markable incident involvin ? the dis
apt caraneo and possible doth of M:«
Anita Allen Perrine, a former Nome
girl and daughter of Mr. and Mrs.The
opilus Allen, formerly manager of the
Wild Goose Mining Company of this
city. According to the newspaper
statements, Mrs Perrine disappeared
from Ft. Penning, situated near Col
umbus Gu., on the morning of Novem
ber 18 and had not been definitely
located up to Decembot 11th., al
though a nation wide search had been
made. According to aritlcle.s printed
in the San Francisco Examiner relat
ive to her disappearance, Mrs Perrine
and her husband. Major Perrine.
whom she first met in Nome during a
summer visit when he was a lieuten
ant at Ft. Davis, were residing at Ft.
Penning when Mrs Perrine suffered a
nervous breakdown as a result of ov
er strenuous literary labors and wor
ry over the war. On November 18
she received notice from the Outlook
Magazine that an article submitted to
that publication by her had been ac
cepted. She seemed to be much pleas
ed and soon afterward left Ft. Penn
ing for a visit to the Columbus golf
links At lo.3rt that morning she was
seen on the streets of Columbus and
in the evening was observed in the
suburbs of the city. Since that day
no word has been received from her
and not a definite trace of her where
abouts had been discovered. On Dec
ember 11. reports from Columbus
reaching San Francisco announced the
finding of a decomposed body, suppos
ed to be that of the missing woman,
at Sneads. Florida, 210 miles frdm
Columbus. A heavy coat and a slip
per found on the remains and also a
wedding ring with the initials “A. P.”
led to the belief that the body was
that of Mrs Perrine. The Examiner
says that an army officer and friend
of the Perrinc’s, had departed from
Columbus for Florida to identify the
remains if possible. Mrs Perrine
was highly talented and possessed not
only exceptional beauty, but also a
grace and charm of manner which
made her cxtremly popular with the
majority of those with whom she
came into contact. She resided in
Nome for several years during her
earlier girlhood and .later visited the
city during a summer vacation while
attending the University of California
It was during this visit that she met
Lieutenant Perrine and later became
engaged to him. They were married
at Rerkley Cal. after Lieut. Terrine
was transferred to an outside station
during the fall of 1917.
