FAMILY TROUBLE AND DISSl2A-
TIoN LEAD TO DIVORCE AND
DEATH.

Denver-Suicide eliminated a week
of wild carousal brought on by the di-
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 trouble., at
which time Gross served as assistant
paymaster with the rank of colonel,
when he became involved in difficulty
regarding certain funds wEich has nev-
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 chivalry until domestic
troubles caused his wife to obtain a
divorce. He first came into the notice
of the public during the first year of
the Spanish-American war. He enlist
ed as non-commissioned officer with
Company b of the first Colorado volun-
teers. The young soldier early dis
tinguished 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 commissioned Of
.,,stI &C 4
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 Il man but his
worthy record as a 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 a 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
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
monthly alimony of $50.

Collier laughed.

Certainly not Didn't you notice
just before dark when We were over
hauling the ship that she had small
boat trailing astern. It's pounds to
pennies that they've gone in that.
Here, wait; I'll find out"
He wriggled out of the window
himself, dropped down the Jacobs
ladder and peered anxiously aft. There
was no sign of boat. 1t was dark
and he couldn't see very wesl, but he
could see enough to know that from
whatever cause. the boat that had
been dragging astern was gone.
You've lost them again, Sir
Charles" he said gloomily, as he
climbed into the cabin again.
I'll not believe it, cried Sir
Charles bitterly disappointed at this
unfortunate ending of so promising
a venture.
Captain Tuggles laughed. 1t must
be confessed that he hugely enjoyed
visitors.
What's to be done now?" cried Sir
Charles.
Nothing but go back to the Britain

What, without searching the
ship"

Collier, but I'm morally certain that
it'll be of little use
Nevertheless" answered Sir
Charles. 81 should like it. for they may
have been concealed elsewhere and
this all may be trick to throw us
off the scent"
'All right returned the naval of

admiral in bewilderment.

Captain" began the lieutenant, "all
the cabins but two are unlocked. We
want the keys for those two"
Il haven't got no keys" answered
the captain, curtly. IF they're locked
which two be they?"
"One is the after cabin on the port
side; the other is. take it, your own"
My own amt locked
Il beg your pardon, I've just tried
the door. You can go below and see
for yourself. Perhaps you'd better
bring us light
Captain Tuggles would have let
them grope in the darkness forever
had it not been for the complication
of his own locked door.
A light was brought from the galley
by the cabin boy and the three went
below again. Captain Tuggles plunged
to the door of his own cabin, turned
the handle confidently. Sure enough
it was locked.
You see?" said Mr.. Collier
Il see, but | don't understand" said
the captain. Those two females went
into this cabin. | showed them in
there myself"
He pointed to the locked door.
And that's locked, too. Now, cap
tain, we are determined to get in
those two cabins and we don't want
to do any unnecessary damage to your
ship. Have you carpenter on
board?"
Yes" growled the captain.
Then you'd better send for him. for
II you don't l shall be under the pain
full necessity of blowing open the
locks"
The captain ran up the ladder and
bade the second mate-both mates
had been on deck during the episode
send the carpenter aft with some
tools for forcing locks. Presently a
grizZled old veteran presented himself
in the cabin and by Captain Tuggles'
direction soon forced the lock of the
stateroom. Taking lantern Seton
went into the room which had been oc.
cupied by the young women. 1t was
empty. Both hunks had been slept in,
however. and on the floor lay Ellen's
sword, belt and pistols where she had
left them.
"They were here, that's certain
he said. turning to Mr.. Collier.
-They've probably gone into the
captains cabin"
What for, l wonder" growled the
American.
We'll soon see," returned Collier.
Have the carpenter open that door
Also
After fumbling few moments the
carpenter forced open the last door.
Again Seton entered, followed by the
other two. There was no one there.
The captains eye was attracted by
the open stern window. He started,
opened his mouth to say something,
thought better upon 1t and stopped
But there were two pairs of eyes in

thing must have alarmed them. They

Overheard into what?" cried Sir
Charles in dismay. You don't think
they've committed suicide?"
