Between the spring OF 1858 and 1870 no
one person was more talked abaHt on the
plains and in the fringe or settlements
than Ida May IS, of course, was not
her right name. 1t is said that never by
the slightest hint or through any Of her

though she was but a !'soiled dove at

any other woman west of the Missouri

account than on account of any other
woman ever in the far west.

though undeniably beautiful it was not

picked up in Kansas City week before

seeming well supplied with money.
A certain cavalry captain noted even
on the plains for his courage was the
open favorite over all admirers and there
were suspicious voiced at times to the
effect that the two had4met before, but
none dared hint openly as much. Even
during Jim Curry's bloody reign and aft

thirty years a barn has stood within
sixty feet Of the grave of this silent

at hand. In fact, the skeleton was found
on one of the Oldest farms in Buffalo

them found a pocketknife and harness

doubtless in the pocket at the time of the

AMERICAN TOOK THE FOURTH.
Great Reception Given Winner Of Cana
da's Cup Race.

TORONTO, Ont, August 13.-The fourth
race for the Canada's cup yesterday was
won by Irondeauoit. the American chal-
lenger. The course was a nine-mile run to
leeward and return. The race was a duel
from the time the boats crossed the line,
and both shippers showed good seamanship.
After crossing the line Jarvis outmaneu-
vered Hannah, holding to windward and
working for a spinnaker run. There was
one change in Irondequoits crew. Jarvis
was the first to get his spinnaker pulling.
He gradually increased his lead. Strath-
coma clearly outfooted Irondequoit in the
run before the wind. both boats running
full. Jarvis had the advantage, as he was
on the starboard tack and Irondequoit was
on port tack. ,reR
Rounding the outer mark Irondequoit had
a lead ora quarter of mile. The beat
back from the starting point showed more
clearly than the run out that Hannah was
no novice. Jarvis held on In the hope of
forcing Hannah down toward Scarboro
Heights. and get clear run for the buoy
But Hannah declined to be forced.
Apparently he saw the purpose of his ad-
versary. and did not get far enough down
to give Jarvis the advantage that he might
have gained If the Irondequoit had been
less skillfully handled. Nearing the finish
the Strathcona cut down the lead foot by
foot. but could not get up to her adversa-
ry. The victor was given great reception.
