vich-"Princess Olga"-1aneee of Isaac
o. Upham, businessman, clubman, world
traveller, lover of art and curios. shot
and killed herself late yesterday after
noon in her room at the st. Francis
hotel
A period of several hours spent with
her husband to be-lunch downtown,
pleasant conversation afterward, and
the departure of Upham to keep a busi-
ness engagement. preceded her death.
Dressed in black, with black hat
touched with cerise and with gloves
still on her hands, she evidently en-
tered her room and hurriedly seized
a revolver, putting its muzzle into her
mouth. No motive for the deed is
known.
MAID FINDS BODY
maid inspecting her room at $3.50
o'clock found the room empty The
maid on night duty opened the door
about o'clock and found Miss Tenn
ohovich lying in a pool of blood, her
head against the dresser, and the re-
volver still in her hand, lying under
the body.
Upham declared at the Bohemian
club that he knew of no reason for
her suicide, as their relations had
had been entirely happy, and no quar-
rel of any kind had taken place dur
ing the day.
Olga Temohovich came to San Fran
cisco from st. Petersburg about two
years ago with her sister, Eugene,
and Upham met her shortly afterward.
Through a common deep knowledge
of the French language. they became
friendly, and a few months ago their
engagement was announced.
FIANCE CLUBMAN
Upham is a member of the Isaac
Upham company, stationers and print
ers and is a member of the Bohemian
and Holluschickie clubs. He was grad
uated from the University of Califor-
MIA with the class of 1899, and be-
longed to the Phi Gamma Delta fra
ternity.
Apparently there had been nothing
to mar their relations. but only two
weeks ago Miss Temohovich threatened
to commit suicide, but was dissuaded
by friend. 1t is not known what the
reason for this was. and it is not sup
posed that more than one or two Of
her friends were aware of this at
tempt
II have no idea why she should
have killed herself" said Upham late
last night at the Bohemian club,
news to him. I'VE have been per-
fectly happy at all times. and today
was just as pleasant as any we have
had.
LEARNED NEWS AT FIGHT
"sWe had lunch down town, talked
together for quite a while, and about
o'clock I took her back to the ST.
Francis. I had an engagement at the
bank, and after attending to that and
other business matters went back to
the Bohemian club for dinner. In the
evening attended the prize fight. and
friends found me there and told me
the news"
Olga Temohovieh's determination to
put an end to her life seemed to be a
sudden resolve, from the appearance of
her body 1t is believed that she pushed
open the door, and rushed forward
to the dresser to get a revolver. and
then shot herself before her courage
failed her.
The bullet went through hets mouth
and shattered the back Of her head.
