Search For Greek
 Boy
Trying to Clear Mystery Surrounding l. e t t e I Which Impelled Activity In Searles Case.

Lawrence, Mass, Oct. "A young Greek boy. whom the late multi millionaire hermit of Mehuen" Ed ward F. Searles had befriended in life, was being sought today in an et- fort to clear up the mystery surround ing the anonymous letter which has resulted in an order for the exhuma- tion of the body and an autopsy, 14 months after Searles' death.
 The youth is said to have been very close to the old recluse. Although not having been adopted he received nothing in the will
 The letter, which intimates that Searles' death was hastened of not actually caused by violence or poison, was couched in language which, deS- pite mistakes in punctuation and spelling has led the officials to believe its writer was a person of consider" able education. The mistakes. it is said, are such an educated person would be likely to make if desirous of keeping his Identity a secret
 The writer also expressed the opfn- ion tSat the will probated as that of :Searles did not express the wishes of the old recluse.
 Little is known of Searles' death except by the physicians who attend ed him. The towering walls and Gothtr structures which the wealthy eccentric had reared about him suc- cessfully shut out the outsid world. He died as he had lived ,on his 4,o0O acre walled domain. Some of his neighbors had never seen him. None of them knew him.
 Tn funra1 was an exceedingly brief and quiet affair. This fact Is being remarked upon with more meaning now that a dark deed is rumored. The mourners were not permitted to see the face of the read man before the body was consigned to the crypt he had previously caused to be erected on his estate. Eight employees acted as pail bearers. ---a.s.a5---= ss=j For a time 1t seemed the nazne o1 Sear1es would rest.

FOOLISH WIVES OF HISTORY
.Du Barry,

Du Barry, afterwards morganitic
wife of one of Frances kings, started
her career as chaser in a millinery
shop. That is when anyone bought a
hat Du Barry chased out with the
package. One day she had to deliver
a package to nearby palace at
which one of the kings neck shavers
lived. Said neck shaver fancied Du
Barrys type and told her that if she
would marry him, he would fix it so
that the Rue de la Paix would be
named after her. Du Barry felt that
she had been trapising this street
long enough to own it, SO she con-
sented.
The marriage was duly consumated
and shortly after her wedding, her
husband called her into the garage
where his mother-in-law wouldn't
hear the conversation and said-"I
got chance to land the gasoline
privilege on the Champs Elysee, if
you will go see the king, get him to
sign this contract, we can clean up a
HOCh VI lidiiSo III q lew years. Du
Barry consented. Shortly after that,
she went to see the king, who like
most kings fall all over themselves
getting away from the current queen.
''Your husband can have the gasoline
privilege" said the king, "but as far
as you are concerned he's all washed
up-hung out-and if he comes nosey-
ing around this palace I'll slip him a
couple of caterpillar hairs" That
was enough. Du Barry never went
back to her husband. She was treated
royalty by her kingly soul-mate and
rewarded him by stuffing the ballot
boxes against him at the very first
election. Years later, envious women
concocted a revolution, grabbed Du
Barry by her transformation, dragged
her through series of narrow streets
and into the nearest station house
where Du Barry pined away.
Her kingly daddy failed to go bail
and Du Barry ended her time watch
ing other prisoners play "Put and

FATAL ACCIDENT
w. X. Coolidge Killed at Smith nlll

Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock
news was phoned down from Smith
breaker that VIM. Coolidge had been
killed instantly. Several teams with
DIR. Taylor and Mrs. Coolidge were on
the road to the breaker in ve.y few
moments. Upon their arrival there
it was found that the FIRST hurried
message was all too true and having
had permission from the Coroner, by
phone, that they might remove the
remains to Crested Butte, they re-
turned at once. Mr.. Coolidge had
been at the breaker only few days
and had worked but three days when
the accident occurred An inquest
was held on Wednesday morning in
! the sample room at the Elk Mountain
Hotel at which it was determined
that Mr. Coolidge came to his death
accidentally.
Frank Guthrie had his neck broken
when he slipped and struck his chin
on heavy timber. He was working
on the tipple on the Hill.
Sad indeed is our little city over
the death of Mr.. Coolidge, who had
made so many friends during the
short time the family has resided in
and around Crested Butte.
Funeral services were held at the
U. c. Church on Thursday at noon
after which the remains were sent tc
