Was he murdered, or did he accidentally shoot himself in the back of the head from such an angle that the shot lodged In his jaw? I Was lie engaged to a girl named Valeric, and did such engagement, if it existed, have * tragic bearing on the. death of the butcher?

Body Found in Ravine Aubry's body was found yesterday j afternoon !n a ravine west of San Bruno ; and about a half mile from the Jersey ! dairy farm. The discovery was made I by Delvex. who on the previous day. Sunday, had gone hunting with his fel- j low lodger and had lost him, he said, i 1n the San Bruno hills. The two men had gone to San Bruno to hunt quail, j had separated to beat up different can- j yons. and when it came time for them j to meet and return to the city Aubry ■ did not appear at, the rendezvous agreed j upon. It was near dark and raining, and i Delvex came to the city p.lone. Tester- ! day he returned to the hunting ground, j went in the direction his companion had ' taken, he said, and there found the ! body.
