CRIMES OF A CRAZY COUNT.
Damaging Anonymous Letters sent
to Many Families.

NY Associated IFeshI
BERLIN, June 22-The Cologne Ga
zette to-day has caused a sensation in
court and other circles by announcing
that Count Won Kotze. one of the Mas
ters of Ceremonies of the Imperial
Court, was arrested on Sunday last on a
most extraordinary charge.
The arrest of Count Won Kotze is the
result of four years OF patient police in
vestigation.
During all that period members OF the
highest aristocracy OF Germany have
been in receipt of anonymous letters
| and postal-cards. in which the worst
and most indecent personal accusations
were made. either against the persons
| to whom they were addressed or against
their intimate friends or dearest rela-
| tives
Husbands were taught to suspect their
wives, fathers learned to doubt their
sons. daughters began TO look with sus-
plcion upon their mothers. lifelong
friends were separated and almost ir-
| reparable wrong was done In great
| number OF noble families.
As a result OF the long police investi-
cation Count Won Kotze is charged
with being the author of these letters.
At the suggestion OF Gen. Won Hahnke,
who personally examined the prisoner.
physicians were sent for in order that
the mental state of Won KotZe might be
determined. His opinion was that
the master of ceremonies was insane.
This opinion was indorsed by the ply
sicians. and 1t was shown later that the
prisoners father died in an asylum for
! the insane.
The general opinion seems to be that
Won Kotze will he confined in an asylum
and that his arrest viii lead to healing
of many family wounls.

LEMON EXTRACT.

Gray Eagle, or kashwa, as ne was cai,-

ed and with unusual intelligence.
"The Snowdrop Is out late" he said
gravely. "kashwa knows her mission.

the pony back.
''Snowdrop cannot 20 yet. Let her prom

"No," said Elsa desperately.
"Then the Englishman dies. He Is not

dian. "Long Pine and the rest are at Do
catur. Kashwa waited in the pass for
Snowdrop's brother and her friend. They
are there, bound to the big tree" with .
gesture toward a large elm that grew .
few yards down the stream.
In an instant Elsa's white hand sought
the saddle girth, and pistol Cleaned be-
fore the astonished eyes of Gray Eagle.
His hand fell from the bride as he TO
coiled from the weapon.
The little whip fell with stinging force
along Rowdy's flank.
The pony bounded forward, and an up
lifted hoof struck the Indian full In the
breast. o.
He fell like log, and Elsa rode toward
the big elm tree.
In another moment Elsa had found the
captives. A few deft cuts with q pocket
knife and the tough grapevines with which
their hands and feet were secured parted,
and Mordaunt Steele sprang forward Just
In time TO catch the fainting form Of the
