MYSTERY, ROMANCE

| phone message from the Charlton
store this morning between and 7
O'Clock. The store was locked when
he got there, but employees assisted
him in breaking in, and Miss jamie
son was found unconscious on the
floor with her handbag beside her.
Above her, on her desk, was a note
addressed to A. w. Files, manager
of the store, which read as follows:
"Mr. Files-I have done my best
and failed. Have been fighting it
off for days. 1t is taking me this
morning; 6:10."
DR.. George A. Gray was called to
attend the girl. who was thought to
be dying, and he afterward refused
to discuss the case, except to say
that the girl was suffering from
, nervous breakdown, and to deny the
report that she had taken poison.
One of the employees of the store,
| Fred DevOre, was the only outsider
to be admitted to the Clark. He
found Miss Jameson lying on a
sofa, and crying. She said that per-
haps it was foolish, but she had de-
cided to marry Sapp as soon as pos.
sible.
About 10 days ago Miss Jameson
appeared in the police court as
prosecuting witness against S4pp,
who, she said, was annoying her
with his attentions. Sapp was al
lowed to go. but was warned that
he was not to call on Miss Sapp,
except on her invitation.
| Sapp this morning called on Rev.
c. o. Kimball a we'll known down.
town minister to ask him to per-
form a marriage ceremony, uniting
Miss Jameson and himself. Kim
ball went to the house where Miss
Jameson was lying, and found that
neither the license nor the prospec-
tive bride was ready. He said later:
| 81 could not marry them, of
course, without license, and told
Sapp that. Anyway, the girl was in
no condition to go through mar
riage ceremony. In fact. it would
be a total impossibility for her to
do so, and | told the people con-
nected with the affair that. She Is
lying down, totally Frustrated, and
too weak and nervous for me to talk
to her. want several things
cleared up before l will marry the
couple. Things had rather pecu-
liar aspect and although l don't de-
cline to marry them, at least want
the girl to be in much better health,
so that I can learn her wishes in
the matter"
Miss Jameson is not quite 81
years old and has been employed by
the Charlton concern for more than
a year She has been a great favor
lite there, and has been given re-
sponsible position, being entrusted
with the bookkeeping and partial
management of the concern during
Manager Files absence. This &C
counts for her having the keys in
her possession, and letting herself
into the store at such an early hour
this morning.

The wreck was a head on col
lision between freight train and a
passenger. The freight train was a
heavy train, consisting of about 40
cars, some of them loaded with rail
road iron. A big steam road roller
was part of the freight, giving the
train terrific momentum as it sped
toward the passenger.
