Macon Telegraph: OF course there
had to be a woman in 1t. At least
so runs the story that comes from New
York as to the reason Of the spectacu-
lar copper crash. too-talkatiVe
young woman Is said TO have been the
cause of the collapse OF F. Augustus
Heinze. This gives a tinge OF ro-
nance to the unsuccessful financial
dealing on 'the street" whereby the
Heinze interests lost the stupendous
sum Of $65, $50, 900. According to ac-
counts, the young woman came to New
York from Butte, Mont, several years
ago, and has had a large acquaintance
among the Montana mining men. who
have made the Waldorf their
headquarters. For a longtime, it Is
claimed, Heinze has known this
American beauty, who so report says
lives near the Waldorf Astoria, on
Thirty third street and he has seen a
great deal of her. 1t Is stated that he
valued her friendship so highly that
he talked freely in her presence of the
corner of United Copper which was
being organized by the Heinze and
Montana interests. The fact that she
could not keep the secret, but had to
babble 1t to some one, was the cause
of the crash She did not purposely
betray Heinze, but was unwittingly
responsible for the trouble.

this morning about 1890 o'clock near

he found Templeton PROSTATE on the
ground. each hand gripping a wire
which was humming with electricity.

a rome and managed to disengage the
wires from the dead mans hands. An
examination revealed the fact that a
hole, perhaps four inches square, had
been burned through his body. Mr..
Devices, manager of the Gastonia sub
station, and several others went to the
scene in an automobile. Arrangements
were made to bring the body to Gas

afternoon to take charge Of the body.
The unfortunate young man had been
in Gastonia about eight months and
was known to many people to whom
