SPOKANE CWash.), Aug. 25.-A spe-
cial to the "Spokesman-Review' from
Palouse, Wash, says:
A terrible tragedy was enacted on
Main street last night, when Frank
Maupln, Jr, shot down Miss Flora
James as she was returning from
church, and then turned the gun on
himself In both cases death was al
most instantaneous. The town was
thrown into furore Of excitement.
Young Maupin was a. son of Frank
Maupin, one of the pioneers of this sec
ton. Miss James came here from
Cheney last fall with her widowed
mother, and has since been employed at
the St. Elmo Hotel. She was a prepos-
sessing girl of 16 or II years. For
monthssMaupin has been paying atten-
ton to Miss James, and was insanely
jealous Of her.
Last might Miss Hattie Bush, a. friend
of Miss James, called at the hotel and
asked her to go to church with her.
She consented, and the two went down
Main street to a tent where services
We're being held. They left the tent in
company with Earl PREFER who walked
UP the street between them When
about two blocks away, Maupin, who
was walking behind them, called to
Miss. James, and talked with her mo-
ment. AS she turned to go he drew
a revolver and sent a bullet crashing
into the base of her brain, just back of
the left ear. Almost as quick as a flash
the gun was placed just over his own
left eye, and a second later bullet
did its work.

Won ARNOLD'S WIFE.
The Baroness" Slaps Attorney
DeImas in the Face.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25.-Attor-
ney D. M. Delmas is still pursued by his
nemesis, the so-called Baroness Won
Turkheim, nee Young. The woman
created a sensation on City Hall ave-
nue. late this afternoon by slapping the
distinguished attorneys face just after
the adjournment of the Angus Craven
trial. in which he Is chief counsel for
the defense.
During the day the Baroness visited
the courtroom for the first time since
her return to this city, accompanied
by her little boy who vainly tried to at
tract the attention of Mr.. Delmas by
loudly addressing him as papa" They
then quietly departed.
When court adjourned Delmas linger-
ed in the hall for a few moments and
then took a McAllister-st street car. AS
fate would have it. the woman was on
the same car. She spoke to him, but
received no reply, Delmas rising and
attempting to alight from the car The
Baroness clutched at his coat tails and
pulled him back, at the same time Civ
ing him a ringing slap on the cheek
By this time the car had reached Nc
Allister street, and private detective
who was with the attorney arrested his
assailant. She was taken to the Cen
trail Police Station, but Delmas refused
to prefer a charge against her. The
Baroness afterward called on Chief Lees
and took her departure as quietly as
though nothing had occurred.
