THIS WOMAN LAYS CLAIM TO FAME
Mrs. Troutman Who Had Dreams of Financial Greatness
Files Petition Of Voluntary Bankruptcy.

Guilty in making her income from
rents pay the interest. When she
could not do that she borrowed more
money to pay the interest and there
by increased her interest obligations,
already too heavy.
1t was when her affairs were in
about such a condition that she went
to an attorney and said she would
like to borrow $4,000 to take up
a number of smaller obligations. The
attorney asked her if she had figured
out how much interest she would
have to pay. She said no, she had
not thought about that. He told her
how much it would be and she said
she could pay that all right, but
| when, at his request, she prepared a
statement of rental income he found
that she was not getting enough to
pay the interest.
Never Thought of the Interest.
1t was the fatal facility with
which she could obtain loans that led
to her undoing. She seemingly gave
no thought to the daily gnawing Of
interest charges at the foundation of
her resources nor to the day of reck-
oning when the principal would be
demanded.
She was able, by giving a deed Of
trust, to obtain in a day more money
than she had ever dreamed of when
she toiled in the cotton field. She
agreed to pay any interest that was
demanded and was liberal in her
gifts. She paid large proportion Of
the cost of building the Southern
Methodist church and was large
contributor to its running expenses.

He was shot through the forehead

bringing about instant death. Some
rumors indicate that Mr.. Brooks has
confessed to the killing, claiming
self-defense, while others state that
he has not confessed at all. A ne

GRIM TALES OF WAR
FIRST-HAND STORIES OF THE
TERRIBLE BATTLE AT LIEGE.
james A. Patten, Relates Exciting
Time Between Germany and Rus
STA When HOstilities Began.

NEW YORK.-First-hand tales OF
the fighting at Liege and other grim
narratives of the war were told here
today by American refugees arriving
on the Red Star liner Finland. Many
OF them were without money or bag
gage; some had been held as spies
and others had made their way on
foot from the interior of Belgium
to Antwerp amid the carnage of war
fare.
Stopped by Vessels.
Captain Barman steered his ship
through little used channel of the
harbor of Antwerp to the North sea
where he found the horizon smudged
with the smoke of British battle
ships. In his perilous passage
through the mine strewn waters
there were no buoys to guide him.
Time after time the ship was stopped
by war vessels, although she flew the
american nag.
James A. Patten of Chicago and
Mrs. Patren, passengers, said they
were in Carlsbad when war was de-
clared between Germany and Rus

into little cafe " Mr.. Patten said,
land there we got one slice of bread
apiece-our first meal for the day.
Next day l hired a horse and cart to
take us over the Belgian frontier to
Veryiers.
"On the road We passed a pitiful
procession of German refugees fee
ing from Belgium. Some were in
vehicles, but the majority were
trudging in the dust, pushing or pull
ing their baggage in carts. Women
with babies at their breasts were
walking under the MONDAY sun.
From Verviers we proceeded by
another cart toward Liege. We had
not progressed three miles when we
came upon a party of Began engin-
GERS engaged in mining the road.
They advised US to go to Liege by an
other road; we fastened to do it.
1.-TWO hours later another party
of Americans were halted at that
very spot by a skirmish between the
Belgians and Uhlans They were
forced to lie in a ditch while the Bel
gians fired over them. Next day 5000
Germans were killed by the mines
we had seen the engineers planting.
1--WE arrived at Liege at l o'clock
on the afternoon of August 4 and
managed to get train for Brussels
two hours later. But we did not
leave before we heard the thunder
of the forts cannon repulsing the
first onslaught of the Germans. The
town was cold with fear"
Mr.. Patten said he would have sur
rendered half of his fortune rather
than remain abroad few weeks
longer. Rev. F. c. Elast of German
town, Kans., whose mother and sis
tiers are natives Of Liege, served a
short time as a Red Cross nurse, he
said. While he was thus engaged
Belgian officers visited his mother
and sister and demanded his arrest
and characterized him as an Ameri-
can spy masquerading as priest.
They denied that he was spy and
were imprisoned. After some delay
he was able to obtain their release.
Ulrick Eek of this city said that
he saw Chauncey NJ. Depew sitting
on a fat car at Dieppe in a down
pour of rain from o'clock in the
morning until 1 o'clock in the after
noon.
E. G. Treat, a banker of Wheat
port, N. Y, who arrived yesterday
on the steamer United States, was in
Berlin the day after the emperor ad
dressed the populace from the pal
ace and said that he had heard the
imperial chancellor talk to thousands
who were gathered in the streets.
THE Germans" said Mr.. Treat,
did not want war;
No One Cheered.
GAS the chancellor talked tears
streamed from their faces. No one
cheered or applauded his remarks.
The final declaration of war was
blow to the people"
F. W. Blanchard, a city official of
Los Angeles, also returned in the
steerage to the United States. He
lost all his belongings. "On my way
to Denmark I saw the Germans treat
inoffensive Russians most inhumane-
ly." he declared. Russians were
kicked about the streets like foot

HAYTI, MO.-ThiS is the story of
Mrs. Laura May Trautmann, who de-
scribes herself as a housewife" in
her voluntary bankruptcy petition,
filed last week at st. Louis, but
whose claim to fame in southeastern
Missouri rests upon her ten years
career as a real estate operator and
town builder.
1t was a meteoric career, charac-
terized toward the last by transac-
lions that brought criticism upon her
and eliminated in a crash in which
she and her sister, Mrs. Mamie Dunn,
lost everything and in which a good
many others lost heavily. The filing
of bankruptcy petitions by the sis
ters closes the chapter.
According to the lists of liabilities
filed by the sisters Mrs. Dunn's obli-
cations are $73,423.60, and Mrs.
Trautmann's $4,000, but it is Miss
Laura as she is still called by
many, whose will and skill have pre-
vailed in the affairs of the sisters and
who conceived and carried out the
transactions which made her, until
the bubble burst, factor to be reck-
oned with in the financial affairs Of
this section.
Picked Cotton On the Old Farm.
Mrs. Trautmann and Mrs. Dunn
were the Oates sisters, Miss Laura
and Miss Name, when the dream of
empire was born in the brain of Lau-
ra Oates. They and their brother,
w. I. Oates, of Cape Girardeau, had
inherited from their mother a farm,
the value of which, for cotton grow
ings, was impaired by the frequency
of overhows. AS a farmers daugh-
tiers they had picked cotton as other
farmers daughters had. Then Louis
Houck of Cape Girardeau had built a
railroad through there close to the
Oates farm, and DR.. Granville NJ.
Hayes had prevailed upon him to
establish a station on the Hayes farm
adjoining.
Hayes had plated his farm as
town site and had given HOuck each
alternate lot in exchange for locating
the station there. And that had been
the beginning of the metropolis OF
Hayti

a greater city than Hayes had ever
dreamed of. She plated her farm
living on the opposite side of the new
railroad and embarked upon a career
whose ultimate ramifications as
founded the financial wiseacres OF
the section.
