YOUNG G0ULD's FANG Y
1T LED HIM INTO A VERY SERIOUS
SCRAPE.
The True Inwardness of the Nico-
Iaus-Gould Check Case Coming to
the Front-Not at all savory
Mess.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE World says
the case of leila Nicholaus against
George Gould apears in an entirely
new light. According to the statement
of friends of Mrs. Nicholaus, she origi-
nally obtained the $4,000 check from
Howard Gould when the latter was at
tending the Worlds fair in Chicago.
He is said to have become infatuated
with Mrs. Nicholaus and gave her the
check, which had been given him by
George Gould in division of a particu-
lar portion of Jay Gould's estate.
George Gould learned of the tran
saction with Mrs. Nicholaus in time to
stop the payment of the check in Chi
cago.
Mrs. Nicholaus went to New York
and Howard Gould promised to set the
matter right.
There was stormy interview be-
tween George and Howard. the former
declaring the sum too large to pay
any woman. Howard refused to break
with Mrs. Nicholaus, who waited upon
George and threatened to bring a suit.
George consulted Superintendent
Byrnes, who sent for Mrs, Nicolaus and
threatened her with arrest as a black
mailer. She defed him to arrest her
on such charge. She said she had
done nothing for which she could be
arrested. and would not leave the city
until the matter was settled. She stat
ed that George Gould had said for
family reasons he didn't want the check
to go through the bank with her sigma
ture. and if she would give up the
check he would pay her $4,000 in bills.
She agreed to this and received two
bills of $500 each, supposing he would
count out the remainder, but he grabb-
ed the check and threatened to
have her arrested as a blackmailer.
Hence the suit

P. A. Markson, a prominent mining
man from the Seven Devils, is regis

Mr.. Markson was one of the discov-

several of the largest mines up there
He spent the summer in the seven
