A MODERN BLuEBIRD.
Tho Mysterious Death of Mayhor's
Third Wife Arouses Suspicion.

RIvERToN, Ia, Nov. 25.-The mysteri-
Gus death of Mrs William Mayhor, who
resided on farm here with her husband
and her two children by former mar
riage, has created considerable excite
ment in Fremont county. When May
hor was living near Axtell, Kan, some
time ago, after the death of his fourth
wife, he advertised in the newspapers
for a housekeeper and the advertisement
was answered by Mrs Erbeck of Axtell,
and she was engaged. In the course of
q short time she became Mrs. Mayhor.
After the marriage the pair removed to
Riverton and went to live on farm.
Judging from appearances Mayhor
and his wife lived happily together, al
though rumor had it that there was con-
siderable trouble in the household. On
Oct. "a Mrs. Mayhor had a violent at
tack of toothache, and her husband
filled six capsules with quinlne and his
wife took three of them, thinking the
drug would relieve her pain. On the
evening of Oct. 25 Mrs. Mayhor swal-
lowed the other three capsules, was
seized with violent spasms, and died
within an hour.
The fact leaked ont at the coroner's in
vestigation that three former wives of
Mr.. Mayhor had died under suspicious
circumstances. An autopsy, held by the
coroner disclosed traces of poison in the
woman's stomach, but the hearing was
adjourned until evidence could be pro-
cured. 1t is stated that there was an in
surance of 5000 on the life of Mrs.
Mayhor, which was taken out at the
time of her marriage.

MINERS STARVING TO DEATH.
A Pitiful Tale Of Suffering from Wash
ington's Flooded District.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 25.-News from
the food in the Shohomish river shows
the damage to be enormous, and that the
next freshet may cause the river to take
new course. thereby destroying the
business part of the town of Sultan. A
famine is likely TO occur in the railroad
camps, both among the men and horses,
unless some means is devised of getting
supplies from east of the mountains.
A tree fell across the camp of James
Park, near Stevens City, killing three
men and seriously injuring Ed O'Brien
and two others. The names of the others
have not yet been reported. No mails
have gotten in Sultan since Nov. 2S.
A startling story of starvation among
the miners in the mountains of Shoho-
mish has reached here by Fritz Elling-
ton and another man who had been for
fifty hours without food. The freshets
hemmed the miners in, and on account
of their exhausted condition they were
unable to get to transportation and get
new supply of food. They are the only
men out of twelve miners who started
from Shohomish four days ago to get in.
The others dropped along the route
from sheer exhaustion and want of food,
and it is feared they are lost in the woods.
The survivors had scarcely any clothing
when they arrived, which, with their
pinched and gaunt features. dumbly tes-
titled to the truth of their alarming tale.

terworth WAS preparing to kick goal. :
IL was an event that astounded the
crowd, but when it was learned what
had happened-that Yale, by clever
trick, had started off in the face of the
wind with score-the applause was
deafening,
Two trials had been made and the ball
advanced thirteen yards into Princeton's
territory. Mccormick motioued to
Laurie Bliss, and in another instant
Yale's captain had snapped the ball to
Laurie, and that man, with the ball safe
in his arms, started at breakneck
speed for goal. He ran around the right
end, and before the Princeton players
could recover from their surprise Bliss
was burying the ball, and Butterworth
was getting ready to kick. Greenway
had guarded tho end well, and Pop
Bliss, Butterworth and Hinkey had as
sisted to good effect. Butterworth
kicked the goal, and while six points
were being posted to Yale's credit on the
score board, the air was darkened with
Yale blue. During the rest of the half
Yale acted on the defensive, but kept
the ball well into Princeton territory.
The half ended with no further scoring,
the ball being on Princeton's thirty
yard line, Poe having just caught q
clever punt of Butterworth's. Score at
end of first half: Yale, 8; Princeton, 0.
Touchdown by l.. Bliss; goal by Butter
worth.
The Second Half
In the second half, after ten minutes
play, Yale got the ball into Princeton's
territory and ten minutes later Stillman
scored touchdown for the blue, not
through any brilliant play, but simply
because he happened to be within ten
yards of goal in time to follow up a
punted ball. Stillman was wildly cheered
by the Yale men, however, for his good
Judgment. Butterworth kicked the goal
and Yale had twelve points to her credit,
while dismal cipher marked the efforts
of Princeton.
After the touchdown Princeton took
the ball from center and kept it in Yales
ground for nearly thirty minutes. Three
times they had the ball within ten yards
of the goal, but on each occasion they
failed to score. On the last trial Yale
got the ball, and it was rapidly pushed
to the center and into Princeton's terri
tory. Then matters grew hot. 1t looked
as though Yale might score again at any
time. -Four times did Pop Bliss run,
but thrice he gained naught and once
but three yards. Butterworth forced
the ball, but to no effect. Princeton's
interference was superb, and the ball,
when time was called, remained on
Princeton's fifteen yard line.
1t was great victory for Yale, as
Princeton put up one of the strongest
games in the history of the game. The
crowds of spectators broke in upon the
players at the close of the game, and for
ten minutes Mccormick and the rest of
the Yale boys had to submit to enthus-
iastic handshaking.
In half an hour after the game the
grounds We're deserted and the various
street car lines and al" roads were
packed to their utmost capacity. The
weather was bitterly cold, but no one
complained. The sight was worth the
suffering,
