Missing Girl Shot Herself
Through Heart in New
Haven Woods.
HER NAME SPOTLESS,
EMPLOYER DECLARES
Admits He Is Known in Brooklyn
as James Dudley" Where He
Has a Second Family.

Hidden in thicket near New
Haven, the body of Lillian May Cook,
the Brooklyn girl who had been miss
ing for a week, was found yesterday.
She had shot herself through the heart
Not long before she was found there
dead her employer made an astound-
ing confession to the world, involving
a dual identity. This man, Virginius
Mayo, nearing sixty years and married,
openly admitted, not only that he was
known in Brooklyn as James Dudley
but that there he maintained a home
there, in which lived the mother of two
Of his children.
The young girl who killed herself,
for a reason no one yet knows, had
made careful preparation to meet
death. Not alone did she rip loose
from her breast her clothes so that the
bullet might do its work the more
surely, but she had with her poisons
of two kinds. A reward had been Of
fered for her dead or alive. But it was
only through chance that youth
stumbled across her frail form huddled
up in the underbrush.

the girl, and who had said earlier in

identified. He stood motionless for
moment and then put his hand to his

ships Of the Allies, keeping up an al

the Dardanelles forts, have cleared the
outer strait, and axe now attacking
the forts which line the nsrrows aud
which are considered the most dificuls
to deal with.
The Admiralty issued the following
statement concerning the bombardmens
late to-night:
"The attack upon the fortresses in
the Dardanelles continued yesterday
Wednesday,. The admiral has not
yet reported on the results obtained
within the strait
Outside, the Dublin demolished an
observation station on the Gallipoli

Harder Task to Follow.

The Allied feet has made greater
progress in their bombardment than
was anticipated, but they still have
the most strongly fortified part Of the
strait to get through.
The destruction OF what the Admiral
ty calls Fort No. 9 was a necessary
operation before the warships could
move further into the strait, as il was
this fort which was designed to protect
one Of the mine depots Of the Dsr-
danelles. 1t was built at the waters
edge on the European side. opposi.s
Cape Kephez.
More important still is the work
being carried out by the French ships
in bombarding from the sea the Saros-
Bulsir line of forts, which stretches
across the Peninsula of GGlllpoli al a
point where it is only three miles wide.
So long as the guns of the warships
command this neck Of land, communi-
cations between the forts on the Euro
pean side of the strait and Constants
nople are cut Off.

Price of Wheat Falls.

Price of Wheat Falls.
One Of the most welcome effects OF
the bombardment so far as England is
concerned is the reduction in the price
Of wheat, which sold to-day in tho
Bristol market from ffty-fve to fifty
eight shillings q quarter, as compared
with sixty shillings and over less than
a fortnight ago.
"The Morning POST has received a
dispatch from Constantinople, written
February "a, describing conditions in
the city just before the bombardment.
The correspondent says:
This place seems TO be laborine
more and more under Prussian mill
tary law, which means that the army
must be allowed to gorge in plenty,
even IL civilians have 20 starve. II
this state Of things continues much
longer I should not BE- surprised if a
revolution broke out. The 'Tanin' goes
on publishing stories Of wonderful
victories of the Turkish armies in
Egypt and on the Suez Canal, while
we are told that the whole Russian
army is in full retreat and England is
blocksded by German submarines. This
news is passed around the bazaars and
helps to keep the kettle Of enthusiasm
at least warm, for it no longer
reaches the boiling point. And no won
der, for how can half starved people
be expected to rave over victory
which brings them no apparent relief2
All News Censored.
I've have read the 'ranin' reports
with a considerable amount Of skepti-
cism, and would give lot TO get hold
of an English or French or even a
neutral paper, but these are tabooed,
and the German censor takes GOOD sare
that nothing leaks through which
would be likely to cause any uncaai-
ness among the Turks. The slightest
rumor OF anything wrong would be
fatal at present, for the underlying
distrust Of Germans which exists ia
certain Turkish circles might break
out in a public demonstration and
cause endless trouble.
Great nervousness ~ already being
felt regarding the Dardaneles, for
enormous activity Is being manifested
in the dockyard. Workmen have spread
rumors that the inner forts must hays
been damaged. The old Goeben is
being hammered day and night wiki

CORN RAISING CONTEST

Columbus.-Ohio boys are still able

to the acre. One Ohio girl, slender
miss of 15, also is able to beat the
1O0-bushel mark, according to the fig

These bumper crops we're raised in
contest for free trips to Washington
Philadelphia and New York, the
funds to meet the expenses being
offered by persons in the various
counties, farmers clubs and banks.
The trip is directed by the state agri-
cultural department. AS was the case
once before, the banner acre was in
Darke county, where the rich black
soil, well handled, makes farmers
rich, Dewey Hanes, once before a
winner, is in again with the first acre
of the state, from which he harvested
1876 bushels of corn. The corn was
raised by the boy, all work being done
by him. The measurements were
made by others.

Here is little story from the front,
says La Semaine Litteraire, which is
absolutely authentic:
The church tower of a certain vii
lage in the hands sf the enemy proved
very annoying to particular portion
of the French trenches. 1t was de-
cided accordingly that it must be de-
stroyed, and a good artillerist was
chosen for the purpose. He addressed
himself to his task, and having taken
careful aim, succeeded eventually in
leveling the tower by a well-directed
shot. Congratulations followed, to
which the gunner replied:

CASTLES

OFNON IIO
there be anything more impressive
than the vast silence and great DESC
latiOn of the Bad Lands.
Over most of the region few living
things can be seen. Here and there,
in some favored hollow, a stunted tree
clings desperately to existence, and
animal life is equally scarce. A few
springs support little vegetation, WV
idly green in contrast with the sur
rounding grays, blues, pinks and olive
shades Of the rocks, while in two or
three places animals are found. A
high ridge of some extent located
near the center of the region, and
representing probably the original
level of the old plateau, has sufficient
soil and fertility to support scanty
growth Of grass and on this live con-
siderable numbers of the great Rocky
Mountain Bighorn, the noblest Of
American wild sheep. This ridge is
some 500 feet above the rest of the
Bad Lands, and is known as Sheep
mountain. What a vast amount Of
washing and erosion of the rock and
what endless centuries of time must
have elapsed to have cut away the
thousands of square miles which now
spread below this elevated remnant Of
the sea bed! From Sheep mountain
the views in all directions comprise the
most notable Bad Lands scenery in the
world. Below lies the shattered and
fantastic fragment of the once great
plateau, curved and cut and twisted
into thousands of queer and eerie
shapes. There are groups of great
gray birdlike forms; there are things
with long necks and heads that resem-
BILE Ostriches; there are shapes that
might be taken for herds of some mon
strous, unknown animals, and gardens
Of giant mushrooms; even protiles and
full views of the human face that
might surely, from their appearance,
have been sculptured by clever work
men of some forgotten race, so perfect
are the expressions of these heroic
statues-all carved, however by the
rain and the wind blowing the sand
particles against the soft rock.
Once Teemed With Life.
Absolutely deserted as are the Bad
Lands today, except for the occasional
traveller, this great plateau, in the very
long ago, when the world was very
young, was teeming with animal life.
No such animals are alive today; only
their smaller descendants. The huge
Titanotherium, which fed upon the
luxuriant growth of almost tropical
vegetation with which the Bad Lands
were at one time clothed, would have
made the largest rhinoceros of the
present age look like sucking pig.
This antediluVian monster was IA feet
long and stood nine feet high. Other
monsters were the Oredon and the
Elatherium, while a great cat or pam
ther-tiger preyed upon the herb eaters
of the time. "he bones of hundreds
of these animals have been found en-
bedded in the rock strata of the Bad
Lands. The region has ever been re-
nowned as a Veritable storehouse of
the fossil skeletons of these pre-
historic animals which lived hundreds
Of centuries before the epoch of the
first man.
