DEATH OF BARONET
RECALLS ROMANCE
Sir George Chetwynd, Who
. Married Widow Of Wild Mar
quis, Passes Away.

LONDON, March 13.-The death OF
Sir George Chetwynd Saturday al
Monte Carlo recalls the most famous
love story of the Victorian era, which
has a special American interest from
the fact that the baronet's heir
George Guy Chetwynd, married in 1907
the beautiful American girl, Rosa
mund Holt Secor, daughter of rich
New York lawyer, who, however
divorced him This story of love and
lows;
figure on the turf and in the polo
set, appeared in cause celebre of the
turf when he brought a libel action
against Lord Durham for a speech
at a club in which the peer criticised
the running Of Sir Georges horse Full
lerton in the racing season OF 1887.
The jockey club refused to investi-
gate the matter, and Sir George
brought suit against Durham for
100000 ($100.oo0) damages.
Submitted to Arbitration. q
"The case was brought. before three
arbitrators, James Lowther, NJ. P:
the Earl of March, and Prince Solty-
koff. Though the graver charges
were found by the arbitrators un-
founded, there were such unsatisfacS 8
tory conditions about the running of
the baronet's horses that they award
ed him only a farthing damages and
ordered each side TO pay its own
costs.
"Slr George took this as a slur upon
him and resigned from the Jockey
club. His jockeys was subsequently
warned of the turf.
"Sir Georges turf career had a ro-
nance. He married In 1870 the Mar
chioness of Hastings, who died in
1907. This lady, whose beauty of
stature had led to her being called
the pocket Venus was the only
daughter of the second Marquis of
Anglesea- They called her the lady
bird in the days when Queen Alex
andra was a young bride.
Engaged to Chaplin.
Lady Florence Paget, as she then
was, was engaged to Henry Chaplin.
She drove with him one morning to a
well-known West End shop to buy
poiN VI IEOuSbcdu. buI kne was
passionately attached to the wild
Marquis of Hastings, and left the
West End shop by a different door,
leaving Chaplin behind. Meeting the
Marquis Of Hastings outside, she mar
ried him.
Three years later a dramatic re-
venge came for Chaplin. He won the
Derby with Hermit, a rank outsider,
at SO to l. The Marquis of Hastings
went a cropper, and lost so heavily
on the race that he was ruined, and
shortly afterward Committed suicide
at the age of twenty-six. Judge not
that ye be not Judged says the text
on his, tombstone in Kensal Green
Cemetery.
Three years afterward his widow
married Sir George Chetwynd. They
had one son and two daughters"
The story of the Marquis of Hast
fngS' ruin on Derby day and lIfs sub
sequent suicide as a sequel to marry
Ing Chapiin's- hancee has been the
basis of more than one melodrama at
Drury Lane and later seen in America.
Chaplin is still alive and now a
aged sevehty-six. Chetwynd
was sixty-eight years old.
The American wife OF the new bar
onet divorced him in 1909, Her SON
is now heir to the baronetcy.

the early uprising against Spain.
The only provisions obtainabIe by
this unorganized mob, four-fifths of
whom are negroes, are in the vari-
Gus American colonies In the Nuevi-
tas district, of which La Gloria is one.
The rebels are gradually getting
bolder and more desperate as they
grow hungrier, and while at first
they only robbed outlying farms and
homes OF Americans, they are gradu-
ally completing the circle and are
now at the very door OF the town of
La Gloria Their officers are frank
in saying that their original orders
were only to take horses, arms and am
munition. but now they seem to have
received orders to sack and burn and
even kill in an effort I'd force Amer
lean Intervention. The situation is
very serious. because IL some Amer
lean loses control of himself and
shoots one OF the rebel raiders, II
will be a spark that will start a
wave of fire, rape and assassina-
tion."
H.. Takes Matter Up.
Minister Gonzales took. the matter
up with Captain Springle, of the
transport Dixie, who Is in touch with
the American warship eff the
Nuevitas coast, and confidence was
expressed that American marines
could reach La Gloria inside of twen-
ty-four hours The worst of It Is
that the town is short OF supplies and
the rebels do not believe the Ameri-
can statements that all the canned
goods have been consumed.
Among the Americans whose homes
already have been raided are Messrs.
Franydin. Carr, Hutchens, Duckworth,
Taylor, Mayo, corliss. and Gibbs, far
mers and members OF American colo
mics at Columbia, Canasi, Palm City
and Garden City. All these, Ward
says, have been warned that next
week their homes will be burned and
they themselves killed.

From Bankruptcy.

Homesteaders and landowners on the
west side of the F1athead reservation,
that section of the reservation near
Hot Springs and Camas, are jubilant
Just now over the actual beginning of
reclamation construction work on their
side Of the river
A letter was received in Missoula
yesterday from land owner there to
a Missoula resident who owns land on
the western side Of the reservation.
The letter states that surveyors are
at work stalking out a line for the
ditch and tunnel through the Little
Bitter Root mountains has been begun.
we win probably have water in
about two or three years now" says
the letter. "and the people around Hot
Springs are very much encouraged.
Some of them are almost too optimis-
tic and rumors arc afloat that we will
have water this year This is impos-
sible, but at least we are in fair
way to get water eventually, a thing
for which we have waited long"
Continuing the letter says the out
look for the west side of the reserva-
ton this year is exceptionally bright
because Of the mild winter. The stock
all wintered well and some Of the
farmers are preparing to put in their
crops.
Il actually do not see how some Of
those poor homesteaders on the west
ervation have been able to hold out
this long said the Missoula resident
who received the letter. when l was
living on the ranch l own there many
Of them were broke and were not able
to get decent crop in any year. They
have had only about two good years

hung on. ! can tell YOU that ! can
fully appreciate what the beginning OF
construction on the reclamation pro-
ject on their side of the river means
and only those who have seen those
poor people suffering can appreciate
it,
The settlers on the west side of the
river have complained for some years
that more attention has been given tC
settlers on the east side of the river
and that the west side of the reserva-
ton is as good as the east side pro-
vided it has the same advantages as
to water and is made as attractive tc
settlers and investors.
The reclamation engineers are said
to have established a big camp ives,
of Hot Springs and to be working or
a big scale in laying out the project
for the west side of the reservation.
