King and Queen Murdered

Early Thursday morning King Alex

We're assassinated In the royal palace,
together with the queens brother, Nix
odem, her sister, the prime mini ter,
three members OF the cabinet and sew
eral OF the palace guard. The list In

Minister Tudoroyics former minister
or war Gen. PavlOvitch, the captain
OF the palace guard and several OF his

vich, the son Of the Montenegrin fam
lily Czemy. who has long been pre-
tender TO the throne, and who after
the tragedy was enacted was proclaim
ed King. and a new government was
promptly formed.
That two such persons as Alexander
and his queen, both persons of a
coarse. passionate, vindictive char
acter, could not live together in har-
mony was conceded, but nobody ever
expected the violent quarrels that have
been of constant occurrence ever since

pectations of an heir. Their open. vio-
lent quarrels became the scandal OF
the capital and indeed, of the whole
country. The language they used TO
each other would better have befitted
peasants. 1t was the queens moral
character which aroused the anlmosity

The fountain that supplied the

At the forestry station Of st. Ferdi-

penetrated the assures In the rock

terror of the grotto with thick vel

quantity OF tiny rootlets, short and
tufted, similar TO those by which the
ivy clings to walls. Owing to their
energetic absorptive power these root
lets, greedy for water, had also In
vaded and choked the conduits so that
the outflow from the spring was great
