threatened at the Old Soliers' Home.
The failure OF the state commission to
take action in the difficulty between
Commander Aldrich and Comrades
Madden and Byers, who were expelled
several weeks ago, has aroused the ire
of many OF the inmates, and talk of
taking the matter into their own hands
is general among the veterans.
influential citizens Of Monte Vista,
who favor the soldiers in the contro-
Versy, are exerting every effort to
avert an open revolt, and although they
have thus far succeeded in calming the
inmates, ii is only a matter of time,
they say, until their anger will become
manifest in probable violence against
the leader.

suited in deadlock Chairman l.. H.

question was raised by juror whether
if Miss Mathews had shot herself. her
face would not have been burned.
Chicago.-That Laura Mathews did
not meet death by her own hand, but
instead was lured to her death on the
mountainside by a murderer cunning
enough to make his work look like SUI
eide, is the opinion held by c. A. Coey.
a friend Of Miss Mathews. In an inter
view he declared that Miss Mathews
probably had fallen the victim of a
murder plot. Il do not believe that
she ever killed herself l can't believe
it. she was murdered, l am sure" de-
clared Coey in his apartments at the
South Shore Country Club, where he
is resident member.
South Shoure Country Club.
Coey declares further that he does
not know Rumbaugh; that he never
heard OF him, and that he could ad-
vance no reason why the young man
should attempt to end his life follow
ing the strange death of the young
actress. The dispatches from Colorado
Springs stated positively that Rum
baugh. before his attempt at suicide,
told the police that he knew Coey in
Chicago. where he also met Miss
Mathews.
Can't Believe II.
II cannot believe Laura is dea J." he
said. Il can't believe IL"
Her mother will arrive here soon and
the body Of her daughter will be sent
here" he was informed.
When l see the body, and not until
then, will l be satisfied that the girl
in Colorado is the Laura Mathews l
knew" was his answer.
1T is reported, Mr.. Coey, that the
mother Of the girl is on her way to
Chicago to investigate the ctrcum-
stances surrounding the life OF her
daughter in Chicago during the last
year"
Let them investigate, so far as
am concerned / am not afraid"
Were you engaged TO be married to
Laura Mathews"
Most positively l was not"
III you did not believe her dead.
why did you send on the $500 re-
quested?"
Il was dazed at first When the
telegram arrived l thought it hoax.
Then I thought l had better be
swindled out Of the money than to
take any chances of any friend OF
mine being in distress and needing
money. And SO | sent it,
My theory OF the mystery is that
Miss Mathews was murdered. l have
never been at Colorado Springs. but
have been wondering if it would not
have been possible for some one who
wished the poor girl out of the way to
have killed her on that lonely noun
tain and got away without leaving a
clew. Who was the man who called
for her after she had left for her ride?
l never heard of him, either.
1T all seems like a wretched dream
to me. | cannot believe that the little
girl is. dead. Why, only today l re-
ceived two little snapshot photographs
Of her. The package was addressed
in her own handwriting. The post
mark is SO blurred that / cannot tell
where the package was posted. All
stories about Miss Mathews being de
spondent because of unrequited love
for me are simply absurd. She knew
that l would do anything in the world
for her."
