Until something more definite is
heard about the young Marquis de
Mores none of his former friends in this
country will believe the widely circu-
lated story that he was murdered by
Snoussis tribesmen in the Desert of
Sahara. They believe that the marquis
will yet turn up alive AMI we'll in some
corner of the earth, unrutfled, smiling
and confident
Mores seems based on a solid founda-
ton, and if il proves to be true, as it
probably will, the world has lost the
most picturesquely unique figure of the
century. Tie first rumor CT the muir
der was followed a day or two later by
a cablegram from Tunis saying that a
servant of the marquis mad arrived
there with the announcement that de
Mores and a large number of his party
were murdered by natives near Gada
mes. The servant was one of the few
to escape the attacking party, and
managed to reach Tunis on foot.
If the motive of the killing could be
carefully investigated it might be
found that the death of de Mores was
due to something more powerful than
the native ferocity About June 1
Paris was startled by the news that de
Mores had declared war against all of
Great Britain. If the name of any
other man on earth had been used in
this connection Paris would have re-
garded it as a huge joke. The idea of
a single individual declaring war
against great, powerful nation, repre-
senting nearly 300000,0O0 of subjects,
ought to be funny. But Paris took the

and his bride planned a great western
trip. Both of the young people had
large fortunes, but if de Mores had had
the wealth OF Monte Cristo it would
have been too small for some of the
schemes he conceived. When they got
as far as Chicago the marquis toured
the great packing and slaughter
houses. He discovered that the owners
of these places had amassed millions
by killing and dressing the cattle
shipped TO them from all quarters of
the great west. He learned that the
ranch men made money, the killers and
dressers made money, the wholesale
dealers and commission houses made
money, and, finally. that the retail
butchers made money.
These items of information stuck in
de Mores' head and soon developed an
idea which at one time seriously
threatened to revolutionize the ranch
ing, packing and butcher business.
His scheme was to raise his own cattle,
Kill and dress it on the ranch, ship it
on his own refrigerator cars to the
eastern cities and there sell it to the
consumer over his own counters in his
own stores. To make his scheme ma
tional in scope he expected in time to
build a complete chain of packing
houses from the Dakotas through the
great cattle countries to the Pacific. In
this way he would buy up all the cattle
in the west, as the ranchmen would
have only a comparatively short dis
tance to drive their herds to reach one
of his packing houses.
This was pretty big scheme for a
man of %, but the marquis always
went in for big things. Just south of

strip, and de Mores purce
Then he mapped out a town and called
it Medora, after his wife. He built a
hotel, stores, portoffice, houses, beau
tiful chateau for himself, and in a few
months Medora had population of
1000 people. He also built packing
house and made ready for business. AS
trial he arranged for the purchase of
10000 cattle.

was in the market for horses the deal

lie made agreat many enemies among
the toughs and bad men, but he won
scores of friends among the respect
able people of the community. His
courage is best illustrated by the fol-
lowing little incident, related by a wit
ness of the scene:

Miles City, Mont. After he was done
with his business he went to the hotel

the bar, ordered his drink and asked
never a one of those in the room to
JOIN him. This was objectionable
"As he was turning away from the
bar the report OF pistol rang out.
The bullet passed a few inches to the
right of the F'renchman and embed
ded itself in the bar. Another bullet
just RACED the F'rencnman's coat

What does all this mean?' cried de
Mores, turning to the barkeeper That
gentleman merely shrugged his Shout

Well" said de Mores, if 1 am to be

rather disconnected the cattlemen for
the rest, cried:
Boys, we might as we'll teach the
damned foreigner a lesson first as
last and with that he blazed away.
Quick as a flash the Frenchman drew
his pistol and fired twice. The first
shot dropped one cowboy in his tracks
and the second winged another. De
Mores was indicted for murder, tried
and acquitted"
Several men after that swore to shoot
the marquis on sight. One of them,
William Luffey, started out to hunt up
the Frenchman. The latter got wind
of if and went to meet T11ffev Tho
later got in the first shot, but it failed
to land. The next instant de Mores be-
gan to pump lead into him from
Winchester, the first shot killing the
man. The marquis was indicted, tried
and acquitted for this also. For four
years de Mores conducted his scheme,
but his capital running short at a
critical period, the business collapsed.
This was in 1887.

news seriously. So did England. They
/ both knew the marquis
The marquis was on his way to the
Khalifa's camp, near Dongola, when he
was killed. 1t was his intention to join
in the war of the Hadhists against
England. The English invading forces
are now well on their way to Dongola,
and by September or October they hope
to retake Khartoum. For many
months past de Mores lived in the
great desert. He hated Englishmen
with the ferocity of a monomaniac
For many years he wrote pamphlets
denouncing the English, and asserting
that the root of all evil in the world
was due to the English. He hoped to
see the day when the Englishman was
wiped off the face of the globe, and
then there would be a chance for uni
versal peace and prosperity.
When the English first began to
think about invading the Soudan and
long before the public got wind of the
news de Mores journeyed post-haste to
among the native leaders in Algiers
and Tunis, and they saw to it that he
was taken safely from one encampment
of Arabs to another. Everywhere he
preached the doctrine of a holy war
against the English, urging the natives
to revolt and drive the invaders out of
Africa. Talk of this kind was pouring
oil on burning finder. In his last let
tiers to his Paris friends de Mores wrote
encouragingly of his great unde~tak ne.
He expected to gather about him
large number of small chiefs and their
tribesmen, and with his miscellaneous
army join the forces Of OSman Digna
at Dongola or Wady Halfa. There he
expected to give battle to the Anglo
Egyptian army upon it's arrival.
That de More5 could work great in
jury to the English cause in the coming
conflict in the Soudan can be es - I'M
derstood. He was great favorite
with the Arab chiefs because of his
dauntless courage, his rowing spirit and
fierce hatred of the English. AS a
fighter ne was unrivaled. He believed
in literal predestination, and his count
less narrow escapes from death when
the chances were 100 to l against him,
made him careless of his life
He proved this trait a dozen years
ago in this country, and there are
many bad men' in the west today
who could tell thrilling tales about the
marquis. There are some others, too,
but they are under ground His friends
here are numbered by the hundred.
They know that the marquis in the old
days was crafty an well as brave, and
it is this which makes them believe
that de Mores will yet turn up alive.
They say it would be just like him to
have the rumor of his death circulated
and send a trusted servant to Tunis to
confirm it. Then he could carry on
some secret project with less hindrance.
The marquis was 81 years old His
full name was Antonio Maria de Val
lambrosa. His father is the Due de
Vallambrosa, a native of the island of.
Sardinia, and the son of Spanish par
ents. In 1882. when the marquis was
