How Rumor Started.


''The explanation for the newspaper ae-
count is simple. however, and the Chi
cagO newspapers had good grounds for
believing we were the ones who lost their
lives. AS we left the club for the sta
ton, Mr. Douglass, the chauffeur, called
my attention TO the fact that the car
needed painting and some minor repairs,
and / suggested that he take it to the
shop the next day. Douglass took us to
the station and then, instead of taking
the car back to the club garage, where
he had checked out took il to a garage
near his home, SO that he might take 1t
to the shop early the next day. After
the accident the newspaper men checked
up with the garages and found my car
was missing. and from the hotel they
procured list of the party. Then the
story which We have been busily deny
ing ever since was started over the wires.
AT Cheyenne and Rawlins We were
met by friends anXiOusly seeking to dis
prove the story, and one man in Raw
Inns had received a telegram from Chi
ca go saying my body had been recovered
and positively identified. While we were
on our way, however, / received a tele-
gram from r. y. Thompson, treasurer of
the National Wool Warehouse and Stor-
age company, In which he explained the
situation. Mr. Thompson said he had been
relieved when he learned from an eye
witness to the accident that a woman
was sitting on the front seat with the
chauffeur. lie said he knew me well
enough to know that on such night
| would be on the front seat. He was
right in that, for | was nearly drenched
when we reached the station in Chi
cago."
