HOW mn. GROUSE MET HER.
A New Story About the Mysterious Claim
ant OF His Fortune.


SYRACUSE Nov. 20-The Syracuse heirs seem
to be as much at fault in establishing the iden-
tity OF tho mysterious woman claimant OF d.
Edgar Crouse's name and millions as every
body else except Howe & Hummel. the New
York lawyers. who have her case in hand. A
man engaged In business here told to-day this
story OF how Mr. Grouse came to meet the Will
son woman. or whatever her name really is:
There is q gentleman in New York city
am not ut liberty at present to give you his
name-who could give you volume on the
history OF this woman. 1 don't say that hor
name is Grace Wilson. but she is the woman
who is causing the commoton. This GENTLE
man ten or twelve years age was worth about
S1.OOOO0O. He was given to stock speculat-
ing. and in the course OF his business dealings
he made the acquaintance Of d. Edgar Grouse.
Tho gentleman was quite high roller.
and. although married man. had a drag upon
his happiness and pocketbook In the form OF
woman. That woman was tho person whom
you are to-day looking for The mans for

her own name. he would be working for liv-

The gentleman granted the wish. and later

ment. they met and ned together. Mr.. Grouse
had been informed what relation the woman
bore to his friend. but he made himself SO
agreeable that the woman eventually forsook

attachment for Mr.. Grouse.
This was as pleasant to the New Yorker as
1t WAS to Mr. Grouse and the woman. She

from the new lover than from the old.

II there was any marriage it must have been
secured In some such manner. for from the
nature OF Mr.. Grouse it may be assumed that
he was not man who would marry his mis-

There is little danger Of any Of tho Grouse

With the whole election machinery In their

Matched to change the entire personnel OF the

though the count showed only SO. The result
was the election Of the Republican candidate.
In Carbon county. after the Canvassing
Board had completed its work and officially
declared five Democrats and one Republican

fled to returns showing the election OF three
Republicans.
In Fremont county q Democrat was palpa-
