GEORGE HENRY ALBRIGHT
Died Last Friday Morning Of Brain
Fever


BY the death Of George H. Albright
this town loses one Of its best citizens
and his wife a devoted husband. He
had lived in this community for nearly
three years, and for the past eight
months has been in business here.
Every one who made his acquaintance
learned to respect him as good citi-
zen and an honest, straightforward man.
There is not a person in the town but
that nouns his untimely taking off.
He was sick only few days. The
first development Of the sickness that
ended in his death appeared to be la
grippe, this rapidly took an apoplectic
form and finally terminated in conges-
ton Of the brain, death coming Friday
morning.
Funeral services were conducted in the
Congregational church by Rev. S. C.
Garrison on Monday and intement took
place in the cemetery east Of town. An
unusually large concourse OF people
followed the body to the last resting
place.
The following, from the pen Of an
admiring friend, contains brief ac-
count OF his life;
George Henry Albright was born on
a farm in Eudora township, state Of
Kansas, April IS, 1870. When
small boy his parents decided that in
order TO give their children the best
schooling possible they would have 10
reside in town. There in the little
city Of Eudora George attended the
public schools and later enrolled in an
academy. He was a butcher by trade
having been associated with his father
in business shortly after leaving school
He was united in holy matrimony 10
Miss Anna Gabriel August %, 1894.
Three children were born to this union.
Three years ago he, with his family,
landed in Washington and with the ex-
ception OF a short time on the ranch
with his father, he has resided in
Leayenworth.
He was devoted husband, kind
father and a dutiful son. To know
him personally was to love him. His
though severe in the extreme,
was OF short duration and while we can
hardly realize that his spirit has flown
we have the blessed assurance that
we will be judged by our earthly deeds
and we his friends and relative are sat
SIZED in our own minds that George
viii not be found wanting
He leaves to mourn his death wife,
three children, father, mother and
hire sisters.

The case. against the mother pro- ceeded to trial and the procurator was the chief witness for the government Louise Ratone also appeared. The mothers attorney produced the doctor who had assisted at the birth of Nic- olai and the Greek catholic priest who had christened her. They both testi- fled that they positively knew that Nicolai was a girl The procurator flew into a rage, He said he had ocu- lar evidence. The case was dismissed.
 Procurator in a Bad Fix.
 NJ. PobedonstZeff now found him. self in an embarrassing and delicate position. He had stood sponsor for Nicolai and personally supervised the proceedings and swore that she was boy. He was in the humiliating cir cumstances of having to confess that he had been fooled.
 The story was hushed up quickly. but the secret police of Russia were placed on the trail of the fleeing girl. and in her diary she intimates her conviction that it would have gone hard with her if they had caught her and taken her back to Russia. and all through the remarkable document there IS an undercurrent of fear of ar rest.
 She lived short time in Helsing- fors and then. With the remainder of Zaney's money. she fled to Antwerp.
Arizona republican., 1907-06-29

querading as man for eighteen years was found after her death to have been a woman, was revealed today. The story, never before published, con- Saining her reason for starting out on a career of deception that proved her one of the most accomplished actresses in the world, and disclosing a Russian scandal that has been hidden for years, is contained in her diary and corre- spondence.
 It is a story almost without parelleI for amazing features, showing the pluck, resourcefulness and cleverness of the woman, who began with an elaborate and daring scheme ts black mail her mother and force from her the secret of her own parentage and her mothers suddenly acquired for tune and who then found it necessary to go through life for eighteen years disguised as man and making good' the bluff under all circumstances, even when her sex was disputed.
 Proeurator's Name a Link.
 Linked inseparably with the early chapters of her story is the name of M. Constantini Petrovitch Pobiedon- osteff, procurator of the holy synod, who for years was the dominating fig ure of Russia in many fields of activ- ity. The procurator was deceived by Nicolai, as she dubbed herself upon as- suming masculine disguise, and after a private interview NJ. Pobiedonostseff, who was a careful man, stood sponsor for her and sw'ore she was a man.
 Nicolai even started criminal pro- ceedings against her mother, and when she fled before the final medical ex- animation necessary to the trial, M Pobiedonostseff found himself in an embarrassing position. which he hush ed up suddenly to avoid a scandal
 Letters from Anna De Raylan. Mic olai's second wife" and the widow who recently tried to establish as a fact her contention that Nicolai was a man in order that she might inherit the small estate. show that the "wid- ow' was in possession of Nicolai's life secret. and that when NicoIai was i'll in Arizona the wife" in Chicago re- minded her of it frequently. Mrs Anna' De Raylan admits making compact with Nicolai by which the latter paid her s15 a week over and above all expenses.
