MYSTERY

Colorado Springs at a
Loss in Matthews
Mystery

Colorado Springs, Colo, July 81
Amos f. Rumbaugh who shot himself
through the head yesterday at his
room in the Alta Vista hotel rather
than testify at the coroner's inquest
Oh the death of beautiful Laura Mat
thews, the Chicago actress. dramatic
and musical student, who committed
suicide here Sunday night, died at St
Francis hospital, at 6 O'Clock this
morning. The death of Rumbaugh com.
plicates more than ever the horrible
Matthews tragedy, and the authori-
ties are quite at sea today as to
what to do next. Many theories are
being advanced regarding the death of
Miss Matthews, but the one now ac
cepted is that the young woman was
driven to self-murder through fear of
being killed by Rumbaugh who was
infatuated with her when she commit
ted suicide. Rumbaughs position was
made all the more desperate after
Miss Matthews shot herself by the
fact that he was connected with a
wealthy and influential family of Penn
sylvania also because he had desert
ed his beautiful young wife to follow
the Chicago actress to Colorado.
Pittsburg. July 31.-The suicide of
Amos Rumbaugh at Colorado Springs
has cleared the mystery of his disap-
pearance from his home at Mount
Pleasant, Pa, near here, two weeks
ago.
Rumbaugh was married and one of
the most prominent citizens of Mount
Pleasant Two weeks ago last Mon
day he left home without indicating
No his wife or relatives whittier he was
going or why. and until now all efforts
to locate him have been unavailing |

vile, o. AS a result of the informa |
tion from Colorado Springs, however |
she will defer departure for the pres |
ent. Charles Rumbaugh, a brother |
will go to Colorado Springs. Amos |
r. Rumbaugh was in the Tenth Penn
sylvania volunteers and served with
distinction with that regiment in the |
Philippines during the Spanish war |
His relatives say that they never heard |
OF Laura Matthews or C. A. Coey.
Colorado Springs, Colo, July 81
1t is made rather clear today that II ,
was the impossible love of the woman I
Laura Matthews for the man Coey |
that led to her death. and the impos
sible love of the man Rumbaugh for |
Laura Matthews that led to his death.
The following note was found in Rum
baugh's wallet, addressed to Mrs. ].
II. Rumbaugh, Mount Pleasant, West |
moreand county, Pennsylvania: Dear /
Mother: There is nothing for me to-
say why | did this awful deed, so

MOULD TAKE MEAKIN AWAY.

A dispatch from Washington TO The
Herald says that Senators Smoot and
Sutherland have united in recon-
mending John P. Meakin of Salt Lake
City as reading clerk in the senate. If
they succeed in landing him, The Her
aid and all the good people of Utah will
bear up with such courage as they can
muster. fully approaching the fact that
Utahs loss will be the senate's inesti-
mable gain.
What, dear friends, could be more
appropriate than the appointment of
John p Meakin as reading clerk? Does
not his renown as a reader extend
from the almond groves of Dixie to the
wheat fields of Cache? Can you beat
him? Can you even tie him? Pause
and listen to the emphatic negative en-
tered by dear old Echo to all our in
quiries. The time. the place and the
man are in happy conjunctivity here,
as the sporting editor would remark.
Meakin should be landed by all means.
Why, John P. Meakin would make a
report on the disposition of useless
senate documents read like Spartacus'
address 10 the gladiators. And if he
ever got a crack at the presidents
message the senators would think they
were listening to Horatius at the
I bridge, or something equally pungent

rooms with Mealxin at the bat AL
hands would be out on the floor listen

! tongued gentleman from Utah.
Then, while the senate was waiting
for a quorum, instead of letting some
! speaker of minor repute, such as Bailey
or LaFollette, occupy the floor John
P. could be called upon to entertain the
senators. We are quite sure that ht
could thrill them. The chances are
| they never heard "Curfew Shall MOI
Ring Tonight" Certainly they have
not heard it as staged by our own John
P. Also there is Henry of Navarro,
and a wide repertory besides. AND
maybe he wouldn't fetch 'em with
1.-THE Soldier of the Legion" Well, we
! guess yes. What?
Do you remember the campaign OF
1898 when John P. went through the
state with Alma Eldredge? Do you
remember the charming manner in
which he recited 1.-THE Man With the
| Musket?" 1t was really the hit of the
campaign, and regret has since Their
been frequently voiced that Eldredge
has never been nominated again so that
he could take John P. on another tour
with him. AS showing the effective
ness Of Mr.. Meakin's work. it is only
necessary TO say that Eldredge was de-
feated by a trifiing plurality of IS .O0C
or 10000 votes.
! We are for Meakin for reading clerk
first, last and all the time. In the Ian
guage of the poet:
! The senate has been seeekin'
