and that he and Miss Caldwell are soon
TO be married. Prince Murat has prom
ised to be satisfied with whatever Miss
Caldwell might see fit to allow him. In
an interview he expressed much admira-
tion tor her independence of character,
and said he was charmed to know that lie

MRS. THURMAN VERY ILL.
| COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 15.-Mrs. Judge
Thurman has taken very much to heart
the conduct of her daughter at San Diego,
Cal. The wide publicity of the affair and
Mrs. Cowles's marriage Immediately after
securing a divorce have so preyed upon
Mrs. Thurman's mind that her condition
| is critical. The first news of the fact that
her daughters second husband is said to
be bigamist came to Columbus people
on Friday. The Thurman family are
afraid that, should Mrs. Thurman hear of
tulS ldSt duu WOISt ueHS VI dlls luc ItSuII
might be serious. Allen Thurman has
personally requested the daily papers not
to publish the matter out of respect for
the family, which Is held in very high |
esteem here. None of them have printed |
anything about it. Judge Thurman |
takes the matter philosophically.
