CAUSES TROUBLE
Serious BIunder Wherein A
Case Of Mistaken Identity
0ffends GIenwood Lady
ALlBI EASILY PROVED

A sensational story of the Denvel
Post variety has found its way in the
newspapers during the past few days
in which Mrs. Elizabeth Dewitt Ken
nedy -Trowbridge, the talented daughte,
of Mrs. Elmina Dewitt of this city, Is
held up to the wCrld as and ideal ad
ventures, with charm for the unreal
and fond of ''the society of soldiers Of
fortune
Upon hearing that Il Mexican revolu-
Zionist was confined in the county jail
at Los Angeles for melting riot i'll
northern Mexico. Mrs. Trobridge. so the
story goes, sought an interview through
the bars with the outlaw and finally Sc
cured the young man S release, only to
see him placed Immediately in custo-
dy by Mexican officer in waiting and
taken to Tucson, Arizona where he was
again thrown in prison.
But, the fervor of the young woman
was not cooled by such unfortunate
reverses. She continued her lovemakinS
through the bars and finally secured the
release of the fellow for the second
time and on Christmas day was married
to him in the Arizona city.
Now this is the terribly yellow story
which found it's way into the public
print given as Mrs. Trowbridge, Los
Angeles paper going so far as to print
very good photo of Mrs. Trowbridge
in connection with this unusual story.
The Avalanche fell into the trap ami
used the story Thursday evening and it
IS needless to say it created qGite
stir i'll this city where both Mr. and
Mrs. Trowbridge are very well known
But as to facts. o, well that's diff
ferent.
The young woman in the Los Ange-
les paper is represented as a Vassar
girl which does not fit Mrs. Trowbridge
She is said to have come to Los Ange-
les from Boston last March while Mrs
Trowbridge has not been in Boston for
years, neither has she been in Califor-
mia since year ago last October.
Miss Alice Finley, one of the teach
ers of the Glenwood schools is a warm
friend of Mrs. Trowbridge, the two hav-
ing been friends and associates in -
school Of dramatic art some years ago
Miss Finley is very indignant that her
friend should be dragged into such no
to riety by story of this kind which
is the result of mistaken identity
through the blunder of some stupid
newspaper reporter. Miss Finley
knows the story to be absolutely with
out any foundation whatever so far as
Mrs Trowbridge is concerned for the
latter is now travelling with the Kath-
eryn Ostcrman company and played in
Denver during Christmas week and
Miss Finley visited her there all Of
Christina day, the very day she was
said to have become bride in Tuscon,
Arizona. Prior to Miss Finley's visit
to Denver Mrs. T:owbriige had lecn
visited for nearly n week by her mother
Mrs. Dewitt. She was also seen by
Mrs Clark, Miss Tully, Mrs. Darrow
and others of this city at the time she
was in Ariz ina, according to the hat
raising story of some yellow journalist.
Besides, the story which started in
Los Angeles state that the young lady
and her mother, Mrs. Smulling, have
occupied quarters for nearly year at
certain apartment house, thus max
ing it plain that some one other than
Mrs. Trowbridge is meant.
The whole affair is positively one Of
mistaken identity and the manner of
mixing Mrs. Trowbridgc up with an
escapade with which she never had
any connection whatever, even to the
using of her name and picture must be
very embarrassing to the lady as it is
to her friends who are highly indig-
nant over the matter
