CHICAGO, Nov 12,-So many sur
prising events happeped, so many dis
closures were made today in the en-
gaging and enthralling chronicles Of the
Won Monrik de Beaufort, that they
can conveniently be listed in numbered
paragraphs like this:
First-1t became positively known
that M. H. Kilgallen, the millionaire,
and his family had broken entirely with
the count when it was found that negro
guards had been placed around the Kill
gallen home, at 1926 Michigan avenue,
with orders to keep the count away if
they had to thrash him TO do it, Wheth-
er this meant that the countess, former
ly Miss lrma Kilgallen, also was done
with her titled husband, was not yet GER
tain.
Second-The count was sued again
and the suit disclosed that this noble.
man. former diplomat, soldier and social
leader in European society, had been
buying books on etiquette. The suit
was for $63 for books and was filed by
A. G. McClurg g. Company,
Third-The count won $40 in a foot
race around the block at ] o'clock Sun
day morning last. being cheered to vic"
tory by several boon spirits, gamblers
and chauffeurs.
Thrashed Five Times
Fourth-The count was thrashed five
times. Three of the lickings were ad
ministered by M. II. Kilgallen, his faith
er-in.law; one bv N. NJ Dorsey, negro,
and one by Charles Rause, the Kilgallen
chauffeur.
Fifth-The count seems to have
plenty of money and is spending $25 a
day in real cash while living at the New
Southern hotel.
sixth-The count says: "They can
bluff mo out There is no trouble be-
tween my wife and myself. When she
lenves the hospital she will speak for
herself. 1t is not true that | struck her.
I'm going to stay right here in Chi
cago"
Mr.. KiIgallen refused to discuss the
count IS story of the thrashings or to
comment on any statements, but from
the fact that negroes were guarding the
Kilgallen residence against the noble
man, 1T is certain the break had come.
The count, it is said. will never set
foot again within the Kilgallen home,
aud If he tries to get past the guards
he will get "busted in the Jaw ac.
cordlng to the guards. One large and
husky negro stood at the front door,
and another equally husky was at the
back.
The latest opponent of the count in
a fist fight turned out to be n. M
Dorsey, negro porter formerly en-
ployed by Mr. KiIgallcn, The count,
he said, tried to cane him and he gave
the nobleman n good licking. The count
threw a pair of shears at him and the
trouble was ended by the Intervention
of Mr., Kilgallen.
Lately the count has been associating
closely with several chauffeurs, and af-

"Bet / can beat You around the
block" said James Harper, an auto
mobile salesman numbered among the
count S new friends.
"Done,' replied the nobleman, his
sporting blood tinging at the challenge,
the $40, the autoist put up his and
they set off. The count won easily and
was $40 richer.
After admitting that he had been
thrashed by his fatber-in-law, the count
locked himself up in his room at the
New Southern and refused to see any
one,
At last, however, the count could
stand the seclusion of his room no long
err He sent down word to have Bob, his
bulldog, ready. Bob sleeps in furs in
an imported wicker kennel in the check
room of the hotel, When the dog was
ready the count appeared and made for

ooh, no,'' and the count shrugged
eloquent shoulders to indicate how ut
terly far from his thoughts was any
such idea.
''No. it would not be permitted in
