TWELVE MINERS BURIED IN
a CAVE.
SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-A young lady giving
the name of Belle Harris applied at the
Woman's Home in this city and was ad-
mitted. She said she left her stepmother
in Wisconsin, with whom she could not
live, and was looking for means of earning
a livelihood. Soon afterward she said a
man named c. J. Jones Of San Francisco
offered her her expenses to California and
a salary to go into his family as governess.
In a few days they went away. 1t turns
out her real name is Vesta A. Stiles and a
member of a good family of Fond Du Lac,
Wisconsin, and that her appearance here
was a mere girlish freak. After staying in
California a year she returned home. Re-
Gently a number of her friends received
notes containing her picture, accompanied
by the statement supposed to have been
made by Jones, who, it is said, is a dealer
in Texas land with a Office in the Chroni-
Gle building. These statements are to the
effect that when Jones and Miss Stiles
reached st. Louis on their way to San
Francisco they assumed relations only per-
missible between husband and wife, and
continued them the rest Of th~ journey and
for some time sfterward, Jones promising
10 marry her after he got q divorce from
his wife. The Times has the following
special in regard 10 the matter from Mil
YANKEE: From one Of the publishers Of
the Fond Du Lac Journal, who was in the
city to-day, your correspondent learns that
| gree! sympathy exists in that city for Miss
Nesta l.. Stiles, whose persecution by one
C. W. Jones Of San Francisco has become
a matter Of much notoriety. Miss Stiles is
described as a good-looking brunette of
medium hight. Jones was in Fond Du Lac
& few weeks ago. He went to the lady's
house and wsnted to marry her, and was
kicked out by Miss Stiles. Jones, when
shs vas living at his house, proposed to
her, and said he would marry her as soon
as he could ge; rid Of his wife. She became
frightened at some OF hiE proposals and
got up at midnight and started for home.
Her money was barely sufficient to pur-
chase 6 railroad ticket, and consequently
she suffered from hunger on the road.
Why Miss stiles hired out as q governess
does not appear. Her father is q druggist
in good circumstances, and she always
moved in the beat society in Fond Du Lac.
II is doubtful whether Jones will be arrest
ed, as he lives so far away, but Stiles pro-
poses that at least he shall be well adver-
tibed."
