Story That the Senator's Divorced

Story That the Senator's Divorced
Wife Lost $4,000 Worth of Jewels.
1t has now become known in Dem
yer, Col, that Mrs. Francis NJ. VOL
colt. who was divorced from Senator
E. o. Wolcott in the District Court,
recently, was robbed of $4,000 worth
of diamonds and jewelry while in Par
is awaiting the expiration of the year
necessary to allege desertion as a
ground for divorce.
The story told now is that Mrs.
Wolco't took her Jewels with her to
Paris in a specially constructed port
manteau. which she carried wherever
she went. One day, after a shopping
tour. she left the portmanteau in the
carriage which drove her to her hotel.
Soon after entering her hotel Mrs.
Wolcott thought of her jewels, but
the carriage was gone. The driver had
quickly examined his find and acted
with promptnesS The jewels were on
the way to London before he was ar
rested, and there We're lost in the MAJ
eS OF the international system of
thievery. Detectives of London and
Paris were unable to find them. The
driver was sentenced for his theft
and that is all the consolation that
Mrs. Wolcott got.
The theft was not made public ut
the time, but Mrs. Wolcott told the
story to few friends in Denver when
she visited the city to be present 1t
the divorce proceedings. Mrs Wolroit
has gone to Brooklyn to live W til her

(HorSe killed, but woman was saved)
Cavanaugh, one of the outfit, to take
a canter over the bluffs to the river
They were nearing the bluffs when
suddenly black steer rushed out
from clump of bushes. The horse
which the young lady rode took fright,
became unmanageable and bounded
away toward the river. Cavanaugh
tried in vain to overtake her and
grasp the rein Of her horse. His
horses best efforts could not bring
him near enough to accomplish the
feat. AS the two horses rushed up the
bluff sheer precipice fringed with
tree-tops appeared a few rods ahead.
1t looked as if horse and rider were
doomed, but Cavanaugh, who had an
ticipated the danger, suddenly refined
in his horse and swung his rope lari-
at about his head and sent it coiling
in the air
The loop fell about the shoulders of
the frightened girl The cowboys
horse reared back, the rope frightened
and the girl was lifted from the sad
die and drawn to the heavily tufted
prairie sod. The girl, half unconscious,
was borne back to camp by her cav
alier, who was prouder of his exploit
than the cowboy who beat the steer
roping record last year. The riderless
horse plunged over the precipce and
was killed.

art. Strange as it may seem, her ma.
jesty is also said to be fond of wrestl.
ing. and frequently INDUCES in this
rather virile form of exercise. She is
well read, is fond of European music,

been attempted a number of times.
