Became VIE Of c. o.>ti-nan
CT That Cc4ntry.

The Countess P0tocka lived obscure
ly in he Gays betw Oh tie first and
second partitions Of Poland. She was
born in 17G6. and was the daughter OF
a Greek shoemaker at COnstu. tinOple.
Her extraordinary beauty and her pow
erty brought lFr TO misfortune. A
French consul named Boscamp took
her away from Constantinople o To-
land. There she is said to have mar
ried a Russian general, and later to
have divorced him.
Then she married Count Stanisaw
Felix POtoclla, one of the vsalthest
noblemep of Europe, a Pole Of great
influence but slight ability, who is re-
garded as a traitor who did much to
bring ruin to Poland. The countess
lived for many years in Berlin. where
her beauty created a furore in the
ranks of society. She died there in
1922.
Count Potocka was the Rockefeller
of Poland. He owned several castles
and enormous estates, possessing in
the Ukraine alone no less tLan 3,000,-
600 acres. When lie became of age he
married secretly a very attractive
cousin. When the story of their elope-
ment was divulged there were terrible
scenes. Although he was old enough
to be husband Felix was flogged and
his young wife, berated and Stunned,
finally threw herself into a pond to es-
cape her prosecutors.

What appeared to be victory for the
Julesburg Lodge Pole Valley Leaguers
was turned into defeat in the ninth
inning in the baseball game last Sun
day afternoon, when the Sidney ath-
letes registered four runs in the first
half of the ninth, and the final result
was 9 to in favor of the visitors. In
the last half of the eighth inning the
score stood to in favor of the To-
the Sidneyites got their batting cloth
es on, and being assisted by errors up
on the part of the members of the
home team, turned defeat into victory.
In the last half of the ninth Julesburg
was unable to connect with the ball
and the game was over in quick or
der.
Last Sundays game was gagged
one from start to finish, costly errors
being made by both teams. pep" Rey-
nolds was in tpe box for the locals,
and pitched good game, but like the
the opposing pitcher, Joe Semidemus,
was given poor support in the pinch
es. The Sidney pitcher performed
good in the box. and would have won
his game easily from the start had he
been given support by his teammates.
Julesburg will play at Chappell next
Sunday, August l4th.
