| DeLAND, Nov. 13-Volusia county

some time during Tuesday night of
one aged woman at Orange City and
the assault and robbery of another at
Grange City Junction.
At 9 o'clock Wednesday morning
John Thursby, agent at Orange City

freshment stand opposite the depot
had not been opened. He went
across the railroad tracks, and upon
approaching the building heard
groans. Hewent inside and there

keeper of the refreshment stand, tied
to the foot of her bed, with several
cloths around her head and throaS,
her feet tied together, and her hands
tied behind her back. Blood was on
the floor and on her clothing, and she

as soon as she was able, stated that
she had been beaten during the early
part of the night by dark brown
negro, who beat her up, tied her, and
finally made her confess where she
kept money. The negro secured the

cape. She remained where she had
been tied until help came late this
morning.

formed the simple ceremony without
charge. The best man was Ivan Dmltrlen'
formerly secretary Of the Russian EN-
bassy in Washington.
In the months that had passed since
the notable banquet in New York strange,
almost incredible things had happened IN
Russia. The savage cries OF the Boil
sheViki had echoed through the palaces
Of the Car and the halls of the COVER
nor-generals great palace in Moscow where
Prince Galitzin once ruled. The Car and
his family had died a miserable death, &C
cOrding to report, in a cellar in some re-
mote part Of Russia.
All the possessions of the imperial fam
lily, the aristocracy and the great digni-
taries Of the empire had been seized, in
some cases destroyed, in other cases
turned to strange uses.
The estates of the Galitzin family had
been coniscated and many Of their castles
had been broken into, burnt pillaged and
sacked by a maddened peasantry, con-
scious only of hunger and hardly under
standing what they were doing. Prince
Dmitris father had died heart-broken at
the beginning of the revolution. The
young. princes two brothers, he believes,
had persisted in revolutionary outbreaks,
but he is not yet certain Of their fate. All
the vast wealth Of the Galitzin family had
been scattered, except such modest sums
as they had deposited abroad.

Dmitri was enabled by Russian affairs to
return to the United States, he fastened

haps for years. be little more than a des-
perate adventure.
But this brave American girl stopped him
gently and told him that she had not &C
cepted him for HIS princely rank or his
wealth, but because she loved him.
She was glad to marry him, with all that
he possessed swept away, and she was
ready to face every danger and every
hardship of his future life by his side.
That is why they were married in the
quickest possible way and with the least
possible ceremony. The Princes services
were needed Immediately by the anti-revo-
lutionary forces for which he is fighting.
No sooner was the ceremony performed
than bride and groom jumped on board
last train for California and started on
their long journey to the Far East. Prince
Dtmitri Galitzin is an adherent Of Admiral
kolchak, commanding the Russian forces
that are opposing the Bolsheviki in Siberia
and have recently won signal successes.
The Prince will have command OF no
tilla of small river gunboats that will OPP
crate against the Bolsheviki and savages
along the immense rivers of Eastern Asia.
His force may at any time be ordered to
take part on water or land in a movement
against the Bolshevik forces in European
Russia.
The Prince is very distinguished naval
commander. He took part in the great
naval battle of Tsushima in 1904, when
the Russian feet was crushed by over
Whelming Japanese forces under Admiral
Togo. He was severely wounded by high
explosive shell and escaped alive quite
miraculously from a hurricane Of fire that
utterly wrecked his ship. He lay in a
marine hospital nearly four months, and
after that he was kept prisoner by the
Japanese.
For his bravery and many services he
received the Orders of st. Anna and st.
Stanislaus from the Car and the silver

Siberia it is her intention to give her
services to nursing wounded Russian SOL

conditions of warfare in that part Of the

qualified than the Princess Galitzin to be

Oknocked a wig of his head. The

gracefully, but the swarthy one
