A ROYAL TRAGEDY.
The Secret Murder of the Ill Fated
Duchess of Wurttemberg.

DucneSS OF "urfIRmDeFSs
About the same period at which
Queen Caroline was earning nOtoriety
for herself there resided in a small
town in the north of Germany a man
noted for his skill as a public execu-
toner. Late one evening two men in
military uniform called upon this per-
son and requested him to accompany
them, as his services were required at
some distance and would be literally
rewarded but that he must consent to
be blindfolded. To this, after some de
muir, he consented and entered the car
Ciage brought by the two officers. APP.
parently they drove a long distance,
and at last by the sound he judged that
they had crossed a bridge and entered
paved courtyard.
The carriage having stopped, he was
assisted to alight and conducted along
corridors and upstairs till at last, the
bandage being removed, he found him
self in a large, gloomy room, in the
center of which stood a block with a
heavy sword laid on it. A door at the
far end of the room opened, and tall
and very handsome woman entered,
led by two men and gagged. She was
forced to the block and the executioner
ordered to do his Office. With some
hesitation he Obeyed. Instantly he was
again blindfOlded, hurried downstairs,
placed in the carriage and driven off at
full speed. To all his inquiries and re
monstrances his escort remained obsti-
nately deaf, but on reaching his home
very large sum of money was given
him, with warning that he would do
well never to attempt to solve the
mystery or tell of that nights work.
Shortly afterward he heard that the
Duchess of Wurttemberg, sister of
Queen Caroline, had died suddenly on
that very night She was a woman of

WENT DIRECT TO SAN FRAN
CISCO OFFICIALS.

While evidence of graft are being
uncovered in connection with the dis
tribution of the funds sent to San
Francisco, it may be of interest to
Richmond people to know that Rich
mond contributions to the fire and
earthquake sufferers fell into good
hands. There is every reason 10 be-
lieve that every penny sent by Rich
mond people. through the agency of
the Palladium, went for the cause in
tended.
The Palladium collected total OF
$f.139.50 which came in voluntary
contributions from the people of Rich
nond- Instead of sending the money
direct to San Francisco, as many cit
les were doing and thus taking a
chance of getting it into wrong hands.
the Palladium sent two installments,
aggregating SLIPS to the treasurer of
the United States Red Cross Society
at Washington. as President Roose-
welt requested should be done in his
message to the people of America.
The Palladium received receipts for
these installments and they are on
file in this office as also is the full list
of the contributors. The sum of SILL
so which was received by the Palla-
dunn after the other money had been
forwarded to the Red Cross society,
was sent to Mayor Schmitz. of San
Francisco This official sent a receipt
TO the Palladium However. the great
bulk of Richmond's contribution went
direct to the Red Cross society and
there can be no question that with
this organization looking after the
funds, the Richmond money was well
spent In the stories of alleged graft
that have taken place in San Francis
CO. it appears that much money sent
direct TO that city may have fallen
into bad hands. Ii was TO safeguard
the Richmond funds that the Palla-
dunn did as President Roosevelt di-
rected-sent the money TO the Red
Cross society.

Goldfield, Nevada, Nov. 11.-Three
persons are believed to have been
cremated and number of others
were more or less injured in a fierce
fire that destroyed the hotel Golfield

ton.
The loss incurred by the burning of
the hotel which was modern struc-
ture, is $4,000; insurance between
$50, 900 and $4,000.
Fierce Wind Blowing.
A fierce cold wind blew while the
fire was in progress and for a time it
was thought the entire residence sec
tion of the town which the flames
were carried would be destroyed.
The hotel was three stories in
height and SO rapidly did the fire
spread that within thirty minutes af-
ter it was discovered the building was
practically in ashes.
a sesSch of the ruins disclosed the
remains of several human bodies but
SO badly burned that indentification
was impossible.
Judge Ellis was a member of the
brokerage firm of Marshall, Ellis and
Company He retired early last
night feeling i'll. None of those in
the missing list have been seen to-
day despite of vigorous search. That
they perished is beyond all doubt.
