SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 22.-From
picturesque Lake county. California, where
the ex-cooing doves, Ldly Langtry and Fred
dy Ge5hardt, own adjoining ranches, sew
eral thousand acres In extent, comes story
of love, fiekleness and intended revenge by
the Tilted lover that makes very interesting
reading in connection with the report from
London that Abingdon Baird, VINO is said
to have bought the Lily fashionable house
and paid off her fashionable. debts, went to
the house the other day, and, finding FASH
ionable young man with her, forcibly
elected him from the place, and then kicked
her in the face until she resembled almost
anything else than lily.
1t would appear from the reports that
Freddy, cast aside after these years OF coA-
| stancy, has very sore heart in consequence
OF Langtrys desertlOn, and tnat ne deter
mined upon sweet revenge. As said bsfol e,
the two farms adjoined each other, and as
Gebhardt was exceedingly fond of horses,
and owned some very celebrated ones, he
had his fine equine heroes and heroines re-
moved to his Lake county ranch. Lily, not
to be outdone by her admirer, also pur-
chased several valuable horses, among them
being the celebrated stallion Friar Tuck, by
imp. Hermit, worth perhaps $4,000.
INTENDED TO RETURN TO CALIFORNIA.
DR.. c. W. Ably, the well-known horse
man, was chosen by Gebhardt to look after
the valuable stable that had been combined
in One Thus matters stood when the couple
left for the east. 1t is impossible to know
what Langtry's intentions we're when she
left her beautiful mountain home, but GER
tain it is that she left instructions that
nothing should be touched in her love of
cottage. her furniture was there, the
etchings and bric-a-brac were there, many
of her rich dresses hung in the war drobe,
and it would look as If she meant to return.
But she never came back, and everything
is now as it was then, except that the lawn,
once green, is thickly grown with weeds
and looks desolate.
AS soon as Freddy learned that he had
been coldly cast aside for Baird, instead of
wasting his time in vain repinings, it is
said he at once ueegraphed Ably TO drive all
the lovely Lily's thoroughbreds out into the
wild highway, to prowl about at will, to
become food for the wild beasts of the adj
jacent forest. This fierce mandate from the
terocious Freddy was little too much for
Ably, who preferred to stand the wrath of
the Tilted one rather than Icrifice CHI -
BILE animals in the way outlined. There
fore he refused, and the attorney of Mrs
Laugtry in this city journeyed to the white
cottage, ana maze proper arrangements Tor
the disposal of the stock, and now, SO far as
the stock is concerned, all is settled.
HOW LANGTRY BOUGHT A MINE.
There are incidents of Langtry's visits 60
California which are OF interest and which
have never been published. 1t has been
said, and with truth no doubt, that she did
many shrewd things in the way of advertis-
ing. At one time she rented house some
where out in the Mission, and tried to make
every body believe she intended TO remain
here until gathered to her fathers, when she
would be laid away in en- elaborate vault in
Laurel Hill cemetery. or some other city OF
the dead. But it was all myth. Then she
bought some ground over in Nevada, had o
