lived in utter terror lest her only re-

who know Amelle realize that when a
cruel death claimed her husband on
that terrible afternoon in February.

the only interest left for her in life
lay I'm her son, Manuel. The domestic
life OF King Carlos and Amelie was
utterly unclouded and the queen was

Amelle has been obliged TO submit

Since Amelie. then a slender young

but good. Out OF her own personal

Lisbon Perhaps there is not In

the deep sympathy OF womankind the

After having had her husband and
her eldest son slain by her side; in the
most shocking fashion. nearly three
years ago. and her own remaining boy
wounded. she has now been compelled

LOSING WATER

Claiming that the United States
Government is depriving them OF
their just water rights on the
Truckee River, certain water users
on the Truckee below the dam of
the reclamation project at Derby in
tend to appeal to Acting Governor
Dickerson and State Engineer En-
met Boyle for their just share OF the
water flowing down the river, says
the Gazette. This dry season, as in
every season since the building OF
the big dam at Derby the men hold
ing water rights on the Truckee be-
low the dam have not secured their
just share of the water and that as
a result they will lose thousands OF
dollars.
