Inspector Boardman had the above mes
sage sent out from police headquarters
this morning after he had received re-
quest from Samuel Van Curan, benedict

resided in Virginia, but has lived in this
city several years. being employed as
lineman for the Chesapeake and Potomac
TELEPHONE Company. Miss Maud Bran
denburg-now Mrs. Van Curan-was en-
ployed at the candy stand at the Ma
jestic Theater. She lived at Ladiesburg,
Frederick county. Nd, before she came
here to reside with her grandmother at
the H street address.
Van Curan. who is twenty-five years OF
age, met Miss Brandenburg during his
visits to the theater. and her pretty face
and attractive manner were more tnan
the young Virginian could resist. he
was not the only patron of the theater
who was in love with the pretty eighteen
year-old girl, however. and he said he had
reason to believe he would have trouble
If he married her, but he Is stalWart

care of himself should personal violence
be attempted.

was told over the telephone by another
admirer a short time before his mar
riage, "I'll kill you"

Van Curan who went ahead with the ar
rangements for the marriage ceremony.
Sunday night the couple went to the
residence of Rev George c. Bacon. pastor
of Douglas Memorial NJ. E. Church, and
were married There was nothing to indi-
cate that the bride regretted her choice
and Monday night, when she told her hus-
band she was going to drug store, he
thought she would return In few min.
utes but when he learned that she hao
taken part of the wedding outfit with hel
he suspected she had deserted him. He
waited until this morning. however. before
he appealed to the police. Even then ne
seemed to have an idea that his wife hao
not gone away of her free will.

| Inspector Boardman told him. you neec
have no fears. The taking of her clothing
makes it certain that she contemplated
| leaving you.
| Van Curan said he had telegraphed tc
| his father-in-law at LadIesburg and hat
| received the response that his wife hat
not come there. Inspector Boardmar

never relaxed. dated from his childhood.
when he saw his father and grandfather
tortured and dragged away in chains to
prison and exile. At the age of fourteen
he made an attack, single handed, upon
the prison In which his father and grand
father were confined and got flogging
for his exploit.
To qualify himself for revenge. he stud
led for the army and became an officer in
the Bulgarian service. He was at the
head OF a band of desperadoes, raiding the
Turkish frontier, as early as 1895. and

the Macedonian revolutionary forces that
made so much trouble in the summer of
1908. His name was prominent in all the
uprisings in Macedonia against the Turks
and he has been described as the most ro-
mantle: figure in the Balkans. Sarafoff

set a price of $4,000 on his head. He
was about thirty-seven years old.
Sarafoff was the organizer Of the Ma
cedonian committee. His prominence in
Macedonian agitations and his dictatorial
methods made him many enemies among
his own followers.
