MRS. MccREE's COMPANION
TAKES HIS OWN LIFE

The Denver Post of September 3
contains a sensational write-up of the
suicide of George J. Upchurch, trav-
cling companion and confidential ibus-
mess adviser of Mrs. Agnes Cree, in
the Windsor Hotel, at Denver on Sep
tember ?. The Post says that he was
despondent. nervous and probably
drunk when he went to his room in
the hotel, adjoining the room OF Mrs.
Cree, and fired a pistol ball into his
brain from which he died in a few
minutes. Mrs. Cree thinks he was
mentally depressed because he had
been so slow in preparing for their
leaving for New York.
Mrs. Cree is "a years Old and the
widow of a rich Ccothch brewer and
stated that she owns the Wv ranch in
Lincoln county, west of Roswell,
which is now occupied by ]. II. Char
less. She is known to many Roswell
people and is said to be possessed
of considerable wealth. Upchurch had

twelve years. He lately bought 81 900
farm ON the Ruidoso according to the
Denver papers. The couple had trav-
eled all over America and Europe and
through much of Asia together. Up
church was unsalaried and more of a
friend than servant OF Mrs. Cree.

London. Sept. 10.-One of the great
est political sensations of the year in
Great Britain was Lord Rosebery's ac-

the Scotch business men who are Op-

great surprise. although even his
most intimate friends hardly expect
cd him to take part in the campaign
in such a public manner. To the
masses. however, the attitude of Rose
berry came as a sudden shock. and as
he has large following among those
who do not profess allegiance to any
party. he will be formidable oppon
