SHE WAS ENGAGED TO BOTH
m the Chicago American.

From the Chicago American.
 Princess Von Hatzfeldt, the adopted daughter of Collis P. Huntington, during one of her visits to the Pacific coast, when she was about IS years old, was the heroine of a love tragedy
 Among her numerous admirers were two young men named Daly and Hauks. Daly had prospects of wealth, but Hauks was poor. It was generally believed in San Francisco that she had allowed herself to become engaged to both men without any intention of marrying either. The young men, who had formerly been great friends, became deadly enemies.
 One morning they met at the foot of the elevator at the Palace Hotel Daily was coming out; Hauks was about to go up. Daily accidentally or designedly jostled Hauks. The latter got a revolver, over took Daily and fired two bullets into his heart. The murderer was hustled off to jail and narrowly escaped being lynched
 That night he was let out into the corri- dors of the jail to exercise. He secured loaded musket from rack, carried it to his cell and blew out his brains.
 After this incident Miss Huntington con- fined her residence almost exclusively to the East. Not much ever has been heard or her in the papers or in the gossip around town, because the Huntingtons were not in society.
 Miss Huntington was engaged for a num- Der of years to Sam Fales, member of the Union Club. MT. Huntington, it seems, did not disapprove of the match, but when it came to a question of his daughters dot, said that he was not willing to secure to her more than s1o,OO0 year, and MT. Tales, whose ideas were very lofty, declared that this was not enough. The match was never formally broken off, but Jagged on for several years and finally died nat ural death.
 The Princess is,now nearly 40 years old. She was married in 1889, and has since made her home in Europe In London, especially, she made a great social hit with her beauty, wealth, jewels and title. It has been rumored that Prince Francis has made a big hole in her dowry. His gam bling wagers have startled even Europe He has the Paris record of betting $1OO, 900 on the turn of a card.

$25,ooo PACKAGE STOLEN
It Was Lost Somewhere Between Bpr-
 lington and Chicago

Chicago, August 19.-Somewhere be,ween Chicago and Burlington, Iowa, ex- press package supposed to contain $25,00o is alleged to have gone astray. The Com mercial National Bank of this city sent the package to the Burlington agent of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad a few days ago on orders given from the Burlington headquarters.
 When the money was expressed from the Chicago bank it was wrapped in the usual way by which money is transmitted. In due course of time the Burlington agent of the railroad received similar package but it contained nothing but brown paper. The wrapper containing the worthless pa per was returned to Chicago and the bank officials are certain it is not the one sent out by them.
 Representatives of the corporations in- terested in the matter spent a busy day today Investigating the mystery of the missing package and laying plans for the arrest of the robber-if the money was stolen between Chicago and Burlington.
