ond wife, with the estate all gone, the
jewels pawned and sold and nothing
left of the former splendor. now lives
with her only daughter in log cabin
near Leadville. close to the famous
mine which made the senator's wealth.
The collection of jewels. which has
passed out of the hands of the Tabor
estate. was part of the gifts made by
the senator to his second wife. The
Isabella diamond was the principal
one in the collection. 1t was brought
to Denver from New York with Of
ficial papers which authenticated its
history, and was transferred to the
Tabor collection through local jewell
ry house. That was 20 years ago.
Since then it has been the subject of
almost constant litigation.
Among the jewelry in the collection
was belt. valued at $1,000. which was
the only one of the kind in the world.
1t was made In almost perfect imita-
tion of a big snake and was of 49,
karat gold
The collection was pawned with the
First National bank of this city,
through Herman Powell, to secure a
note for $500 owing Powell by the
Tabor estate. 1t was sold by Powell
to satisfy the note and in that way got
into the vaults of the bank. Efforts
were made to sell the gems privately
through a commission appointed for
that purpose. This resulted in suits
being brought in court to have them
sold at auction.
The Tabor estate at that time was
considerably in debt and the widow
| was meeting with the first of the re-
verses which finally completely en-
quilted her. The popularity of the late
senator caused steps to be taken by
his friends three years ago to settle
the claims. Mrs. Tabor was enabled
to retain the Jewels. One year ago
she was in want and she pawned them
with the Continental Trust Company
to secure loan of $3.50. This loan
she was unable to take up and the
present sale followed.
A pitiful climax to the tragedies of
the Tabor family was presented when
the sale was over. An elderly gray
haired woman, who declined to give
her name or reveal her identity other
than to say that she was a close per-
sonal friend of Mrs. Tabor. was pres
ent to watch the disposal Of the gems.
At the conclusion of the sale she mo-
toned the purchaser to one side and
with quivering voice asked him not
to sell the smallest gem in the collec-
tion for a while. 1t was Mrs. Tabor's
engagement ring. which had gone with
the others, and she wanted an oppor-
tunity to save it II possible.

will give part of the jewels to his wife
and the others will be sent east. The
Isabella diamond, the most valuable
in the collection, shows the effect of
age, and to restore its brilliancy 1t will
have to be recut. The danger of In
juring the gem through that process
has detracted from its speculative
value.

lead as duck sheds water
