married naval officer when quite young,
and her husband, whose existence seems
to have been chiefly devoted to "passlng
the rosy" disposed OF her title to all pro-
perties for small sum, the land having
been occupied for quarter Of a century,
and held under tax titles.
Every device known to Chicago legal
talent has been exhausted to free Turner,
whose bail was fixed at $4,000. But he
has been brought to the rack, and the
hard hand Of justice has got secure grip
upon him. His trial, which was begun
in the Criminal Court on Wednesday,
will probably last during the week, and is
causing much interest in real estate cir
cles everywhere. There is good reason
TO believe that the greatest gang of deed
forgers in the United States will have
been broken up by the punishment OF
Turner-Reed escapes through turning
States evidence and many ferVent
thank GodW will go up should this re-
suit be accomplished.
MORE ROMANCE.
One year ago last May, on a certain
Thursday afternoon, there were hundred
or so Board of Trade men and newspaper
reporters, as is usual every evening, TAX
ing their goodbye beer in Kirchoffs
Board of Trade saloon. Your correspon-
dent was among the number. At one
table sat Monsieur Belloy chatting with
other Board of Trade member The par
ty had finished round, when BellOy-
he was plain Belloy then, and probably
has no other title now-wiped his little
black mustache, replaced his handker-
chief in his pocket and returned his hand
to his forehead. He then said "Adieu,
gentlemanW and immediately after very
impolitely scattered his brains over them,
having shot himself through the head.
We carried Belloy, the dead, home to his
family, who were heart broken. He had
been short on wheat, corn, oats or some
thing. His creditors forgavc him, and
we all "cbipped in" until Belloy'S
family had enough to bury him and
thousand or so left. The matter was
mentioued in the papers and soon forgot
ten, as Board of Trade men in Chicago
do that sort OF thing every week or two.
But if we had Belloy back here now,
we would all dOtf our hats to him!
But wo must not anticipate.
Twenty years ago a scion of one OF the
Oldest French families got into some
scrape and scraped away to America. No
sooner here, when straying around the
wild, of Michigan rs u school-tcachcr, he
fell in love. was married, became the
father of wonderfully large family. In
some portions of Michigan mans arm
is counted of greater importance than the
head. Recognizing the logic of events,
the scion OF the ancient French family
came to Chicago, where genius is always
recognized As the wife took in washing
and the husband had winsome way
about him, after few years his debts
became 80 respectfully large that he was
easily admitted to Chicagos temple to
the almighty dollar, the Board of Trade.
Here up and down he went like Donald
son and Grimwood between the financial
heaven and earth. This was the Marquis
Aymer de Belloy. The other day the old
lady died in France, and the poverty
stricken family, portion Of whom are
now in Chicago, and the remainder at
Genesscc, Ill., secure not only the titles but
one third OF the fortune of one of the
most ancient and wealthy families In
France. ST. Louis is nowhere now.
