FAMILY TROUBLE AND DISSi2A
TION LEAD TO DIVORCE AND
DEATH.

Denver.-Suicide eliminated a week
of wild carousal brought on by the d-
vorce of his wife for Colonel Frederick
w. Gross Saturday afternoon, when he
shot himself through the head in the
Mistletoe rooming house. 1902 Cleve-
land place. Since his wife obtained a
divorce three weeks ago, the officer
who distinguished himself for valor
during the Spanish war, is said to have
taken the path which ended in self de-
struction.
Since the Cripple Creek troubles, at
which time Gross served as assistant
paymaster with the rank of colonel,
when he became involved in difficulty
regarding certain funds wSich has new
er been satisfactorily adjusted, it is
said that he has seen trouble in many
directions.
The history of Colonel Gross is one
| of bravery and chvalry until domestic
troubles caused his wife to obtain n
divorce. He first came into the notice
of the public during the first year of
the Spanish-American war. He enlist
ed as a non-commissioned officer with
Company B of the first Colorado volun-
teers. The young soldier early dis
tinSuished himself for his bravery on
the field. 1t is said of him that he
was always more thoughtful of his men
than of himself and underwent any
number of privations for the sake of
them. His worth was soon recognized
and he was made a commissioned Of
ficer with the rank of second lieuten-
ant. He served throughout the war
and returned with the gallant volun-
teers to his native state.
Upon his return in 1900 he married
Miss Gertrude Baines. a Denver girl,
whose affection he had won not alone
through his merit as man but his
worthy record as soldier. With the
outbreak of trouble during the strike
in Cripple Creek Lieutenant Gross en-
listed with the National Guard. He
was made assistant paymaster.
After the strike trouble arose re-
Sarding the disposition of funds which
Gross and his associates had made in
their official capacity. During the tur-
bulent times Gross was figure in the
Chase courtmartial and was men
toned as 4 successor to General Sher-
man Bell. '.
In 1906, Gross obtained work as as
sistant superintendent of collections
for the telephone company under his
cousin, George Gross, head of the de-
partment. Early in the month of Sep
| tember, Gross is said to have been dis.
charged. Soon after, and, it is said, as
a direct result, his wife sued for di.
vorce. The case came up in Judge
Bliss division of the District Court
about three weeks ago. The divorce
was obtained with the provision of a

The particular prince around whom much interesting speculation centers at this lime is Prince Danilo, beloved in the gay world of Paris and Rome, reputed hero of that popular musical comedy The Merry Widow" and heir to ths throne of Montenegro
 It is said that the picture of the probable future ruler of the little Bal kan kingdom dished up to the people ia the United States in the aforesaid play, The Merry Widow" is remin- iscent of the princes more youthful days, when he was a high roller in Paris and Rome. He is no longer the open-handed spender that his musical comedy prototype makes him out to be. His marriage to Princess Jutta of Mecklenburg, cousin of the princess of Wales. has toned him down to a con siderable degree His name has been forgotten at Maxim's and ether swag- ger restaurants in Paris, except by a few of the older set, who delight to recall the escapades of this scion of royalty. His brotherin-law. the king of Italy. has almost forgiven a certain memorable visit to Rome of the Mon- tenegrin "hopeful'' some years ago On that occasion the Italian ruler was compelled to refuse in no uncertain manner the request of the prince for an advance of money to pay for the red paint with which he was bedaub- ing the city.

 Loss of State Pride.
 The patriotic and state pride senti- ment which has held the state of Texas intact up to this time on longer exists among the people of the trans pecos territory. They say that their rights and best interests have been abused and trampied upon by the overwhelming majority of uniformed and unsympathetic members of the legislature from other parts of the state, and that as a matter of selfpor- lection the transpecos region must be segregated and made into a state or its own. The fact that congressional sanction for the creation of this new state is not necessary makes the pro motors of the movement very hopeful that they will succeed in their plans.
 The territory involved in the pro position Is already provided with three trunk lines of railway-the Southern Pacific, the Santa Fe ana the Texas & Pacific, which belongs to the Gould system. The Kansas City, Mexico & Orient is surveyed to run across the proposed new state by way of Alpine.
 Very little of the trade of the trans pecos region now goes to other cities and towns of Texas. The markets of Los Angeles. Denver. Kansas City. St Louis and Chicago are largely patron ized by the people of the isolated ter ritory. Fl Paso has become a great commercial and industrial ceuter and supplies the needs in those lines for most of the tributary territory.

tion and opposition of the people here whom the legislation directly affect. ed. The territory west of the Pecos is rich in minerals, but it Is impossi- ble to develop these hidden riches on account of the oppressive mining laws enacted by the legislature. The population of the transpecos region IS made up largely of people from north ern and western states. The propos- ed new state belongs to the southwest geographically aid sympatheticaily. Bordering on Mexico for several hundred miles. its people have most friendly feeling for the nieghboring republic. The stringent and unduly harsh quarantines which are imposed against Mexico by the state health department at Austin have seriously interfered with business and traftic through the Fl Paso gateway It IS claimed that quarantine restrictions against Mexico are not needed in this high altitude and the business inter ests Of Fl Paso and the whole trans in this manner.
 Vast Public Lands.
 There are more public lands in the transpecos territory than in all of the remainder of the stgte put together. These lands are now being taken up and developed very slowly on account of the alleged harassing and burden some tactics pursued by the state land department against the new set tiers. Millions of acres of land are available in the Alpine section TOT farming. It has been demonstrated that as fruit growing region. partic- ularly for apples end peaches, it is equal to any in the country The al- titude of the transpecos territory ranges from 3.500to $500 feet. It is region of low mountains and rich valleys.
 It is claimed by the leaders of the new state movement that if their plans succeed the territory involved in the proposition will have a popuia- ton of more than 1000 900 people within five years from the time the state Is created. The richest silver mine in the United States is situated at Shafter. in the lcwer part of the new state territory. This is a fact not generally known. The mine IS owned by California people and has been producing silver at the rate or about $35,000 a month for the last quarter of a century. The famous quicksilver mines of the Terlingua district are also situated in the trans pecos region.
 The upper part the Rio Granda val ley is soon to be brought into high state of development by means of the great Engie dam irrigation project which the federal government is car rying out. This enterprise when fin, ished will add several millions of dol lars of taxable values to the territory involved in the segregation proposi- ton.
