INTEREST IN THE CASE
VERY KEEN IN FRISCO

San Francisco, Nov. a6.-Since it was
learned that Mrs. Ellen Gore, the beautiful
American who met. tragic death last
Wednesday, was formerly Miss Nellie
Stodgill of Alameda. local interest in the
case has become keen. Numerous in
quirics have been sent to the city in which
she perished, but none of the replies have
yet revealed the mystery of her taking off.
Three theories are advanced-that she took
her own life that the pistol was accident
ally discharged, that Jean de Rydzenski
killed her. De Rydzenski is the Russian
baritone singer of whom she lived in fear.
He was alone with her when she received
the wound that terminated her career.
His story is that he accidentally knocked
pistol from the table, that the fall dis
charged the weapon and the bullet struck
Mrs. Gore. She did not recover con-
sciouspess after she was shot.
While the mystery remains unsolved
all things relating to the dead woman are
of interest From New York city word
came today that while Mrs. Gore lived
there last December she went to S. Mallen
Provost An attornev at No. 20 Road

the case he is likely to succeed, as under
such circumstances it is not easy, even for
Russian officials, to circumvent justice in
the Paris courts
Mrs. Dickson, who lives on Willow
street in Alameda, is of the belief that her
niece was murdered by De Rydzenski.
This belief is based on letters from Mrs.
Gore, who often mentioned the Russian
BARITONE, always telling her rear Of his
fimpetuous wooing. Mrs. core obtained a
divorce from her husband ,on statutory
grounds, and she had no thought OF an
other marriage, but wanted to devote her
life to music. With this aim in view she
Studied first in Berlin and then went to
Paris, where she became pupil Of the
famous Muzskowski and studied under his
direction until her death. She met De
Rydzenski in Paris while he was playing
an engagement there. He fell in love with
her, and when he went away wrote pas
sionate letters that frightened her. She
wrote to her aunt, telling all about her
trouble. The Russian was coming back TO

were present and there were no mourners.
Five beautiful floral offerings, one of them
being from Mr.. Gowdy, were placed around

after a simple service at the grave side.
Rydzenski, in whose apartments Mrs.
Gore died, was not present at the funeral

London, Nov. a6.--Thc continued de
cline in the price OF silver causes some
considerable comment in financial circles
According to the best informed houses it is
regarded as being directly due to China's
flooding the market with silver, in payment
of the indemnity to the powers. Prior to
the recent disturbances, China was a large
buyer OF silver in London, but now the
balance Of trade is reversed and instead
of China taking silver in return for tea,

The Hagerstown Herald of Wednes-
day says that about week ago three
COWS died belonging to William Rowe,
who resides on Jacob Hammond farm,
one mile northwest Of Keedysville.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Rowe had a dog
to die with peculiar symptoms, and it
was believed the dog was affected with
rabies. 1t was further asserted that
the dog had bitten several of Mr..
Rowe's cattle and a horse ; also that
one Of his children had a narrow es-
cape from being bitten On Saturday
the fourth COW, after being sick nearly
a week, became violently mad, bel
lowing and frothing at the mouth,
and would not allow any one to 60
near. The enraged animal was killed,
but not until seven shots were fired
into her body and vital spot reached.
Mr.. Rowe's neighbors and citizens Of
Keedysville are chipping in" to raise
a purse and partly make up his loss.
Ii is said couple of dogs in Keedys-
Vile were in contact with Mr. Rowe's
dog before it died. Mr.. Rowe for
me1ly lived near Shepherdstown, on
the G. T. Lickhder farm.

thing conducive to health, wealth and
prosperity have an opportunity at

enlargement should be extended to

terprise in hand with the intention of
seeing it pushed through to success as
rapidly as possible, taking into con-
sideration the many legal and other
difficulties that have to be ccntended
with. 1t is to be hoped that farmers
and land owners will treat the repre-
sentat'ves of the company well when

tages to accrue to those living along

lost sight of when the question Of land
