MARIENBAD, Bohemia, Aug. %
The social triumph of Miss Maxine ElI
liOtt, the lovely American actress, has
been the sensation of the season here.
The day after King Edward arrived he
drove in his automobile to the golG
grounds and invited Miss Elliott and tho
Hon. Mrs Albert Petre to drink tea
with him on his private vcranda of the
clubhouse.
Aftervarl they played croquet with
his majesty and the Hon. Sidney Gre
Vile the King having Miss Elliott as
partner.
Plainly his majesty enjoyed himself
unusually. for he repeated the agreeable
entertainment the very next day.
The King seems greatly attracted by
the handsome American. He met her
here last year and since then has met
her two or three times in London. One
significant result of her success is that
Mrs. Arthur James and Mrs. Hall
Walker, both belonging to 1.-The Kings
set" repeatedly asked Miss Elliott to
lawn tennis and bridge parties, TO lunch
con or dinner.

IS FOUND
DEAD IN
BOA I
Long Branch Man is Vic
tim of a Strange Malady
Friend Lies Beside
Him in q
Stupor

Evidently the victim of poison
taken in food or drink sometime
yesterday afternoon, A. Olson, a
rancher of Long Branch, was
found dead in a stranded launch
on the north shore of Anderson
island about 1890 last night
by Otto Lemon and his son Har-
old.
With Olson In the launch was
Il. e. Shelgreen, who was suffer
ing from the strange malady which
had caused his friends death. He
was lying In stupor with one
hand grasping the wheel and was
totally unconscious of the fate of
his companion.
Engine Still Running.
That the men were poisoned
was evidenced by the fact that the
engine of the launch was still run
ming. The boat had run aground
and the tide going out had left 1t
high up on the beach. The pro-
peller had been digging in the
gravel and 1t was this noise that
attracted Leinen, who lives short
distance from the scene.
Coroner F. d. Shaver and Dep
luty Prosecuting Attorney Bell
went out to Steilaeoom this morn
ing to Investigate the strange
death but We're unable to solve the
mystery.
Seized With Sickness.
Shelgreen was revived and was
then able to make a statement as
to what took place up to the time
he himself had become uncon-
scious. He said that he and Oh
son were in Tacoma yesterday and
leach had four or five drinks at an
lOld Town saloon. They left in
the launch att O'Clock last night
for Long Branch where both re-
side. After about an hour Shell
green began to feel very stupid
and sick at the stomach. He tried
to arouse Olson who was asleep IN
1.-THE bottom of the launch but could
not wake him. He remained at
the wheel until he became uncon-
Iscious.
Before leaving Tacoma, Shell
green says, he bought some sau-
lsage and ate little bit OF IL.
But, as Olson did not eat any, 1t
lis not thought probable that the
sausage was the cause of the
Istrange illness.
Olson Is survived by his widow,
and Shelgreen also has family at
Long Branch.
