RETIRES
To LONELY
CONVENT
(By Associated Press.)

Berlin, July l5.-In the highest
aristocratic and court circles of Ger
many profound sensation has been
caused by the retiring from the world
of Prince Lowenstein-Wer ertheim-
Roch-foot to enter the Dominican
monastery of Benlee, near the Dutch
frontier
Prince Lowenstein, one of the best
known of Germany's public men, is
73 years old and owns vast posses
sions in Prussia, Bavaria, Baden and
Hesse. His income is reckoned at
S1,500,0OO a year. His lands and
other real property remain in the
possession of the family, but $780,
600 goes to the ecclesiastical treas
ury.
There are two branches of the
Lowenstein family, the Protestant
and the Catholic branch, and Prince
Carl, who has now become a Monk,
is the head of the latter. He is the
brother-in-law of Don Miguel of Por-
tugal and the uncle of Prince Alton
so, brother of the Spanish pretender,
Don Carlos. He was the leader of the
aristocratic party in the Prussian
house of lords and man of singular
earnestness and sincerity.
OF late years he has become widely
Known as Ine hedu OF powerful
movement to abolish dueling. Among
the Princes most notable recruits
were the kings of Saxony and Wur-
temburg. But the prince felt that all
his efforts in this direction were in
vain so long as the kaiser refused to
say the decisive word.
1t was in large measure owing to
Prince Lowenstein's disappointment
at this comparative failure of his
crusade which drove him to take or
ders and spend the remainder of his
days in retirement from the world.
But there was another reason. =.
There is a beautiful young woman.
the daughter of farmer on one of
the estates. for whom the prince en-
tertained a secret passion, despite his
advanced age and elevated rank. Con-
vinced of the impossibility of wedding
this girl, and believing that he was in
duty bound to tear her out of his
heart. he felt that the only way to re-
gain his peace of mind was to shut
himself away from the world and all
its temptations.

The principal evidence upon which
the arrests were made is that OF de-
tectives who have shadowed the Ma
gills across the continent. It is said
that the Magills occupied state
room on a through train and a de
tective managed to over hear many
conversations between Magill and his
bride and it Is said that enough was
CLEANED from these conversations to
convict the couple. The detectives
declare that the crime was one of the
most diabolical ever committed, As

will rival the famous Durrant case

PALIsADE is DEFEATED
BY THE ASPEN TEAM

Yesterday afternoon at Aspen the
Palisade baseball team went up
against the Aspen team and a good
game of ball was the result. Aspen
won the contest on score of to 2.
The Palisade boys labored under a
decided disadvantage owing to the
fact that they went into the game i'm
mediately after reaching Aspen and
without having any dinner. They
had been on the train for many hours
and were worn out However, they
put up a stiff fight and the Palisade
fans believe that if their team had
been fresh and rested when the game
was called the score would have told
an entirely different tale.

Tor being haunted spread amazingly,
even beyond the granite walls OF the

Tho Case Of Ruminski.
Mike Ruminski was one of the
shrewdest prisoners ever placed in
murderers' row. On the morning he
was sentenced to death for strangling
his wife. pouring kerosene over the
body and setting fire to the house, he
declared that the sheriff would never
get chance to hang him. The evil
dence produced against Ruminski at
his trial tended to show that he was
a professional stranger and robber.
Several months before he killed his
wife he had strangled his own baby to
death. but this was not known until
the. authorities made an Investigation
following the death Of his wife,
On account Of the threat OF the con-
demned man that he would cheat the
gallows, an extra close watch was kept
on him In his cell, guard being sta
toned outside the door day and night
to prevent him from taking his own
life.
One night Ruminski went to bed as
usual. The light outside hts cell door
shone directly on the cot, and the
guard outside could see him quite
plainly. But Ruminski, while pretend
ing to be asleep. reached down with
his right hand between the edge of his
iron cot and the wall and united one of
the thin cord laces fastened across
the framework of his cot and support
ing the mattress. Still working with
one hand, he twisted the short length
of cord, tied 1t and slipped 1t over his
head and around his neck. The handle
Of a tin cup, which he managed to get
possession of, was passed through the.
loop, and then Ruminski carefully and
quietly proceeded to choke himself ito
death. So cautiously did he kill HIM.
self that the guard outside the door,
although keeping one eye on Ruminski
all the time, imagined that the con-
demned man was sound asleep.
When Ruminski had choked himself
until he lost consciousness, his hand
released the handle of the tin cup. 1t
may be supposed that the tin handle
would spin around few times and fly
from the loop and that the cord. being
released, would enable Ruminski to
breathe again. But the crafty stranger
had anticipated that very thing and
had made provision to guard against
his plans being thwarted In that way.
The handle Of the tin cup had been
Strengthened out and then hooked at
the end in such a way that the mo-
