A dispatch printed in a recent eli- ton of the New York World announe- es that the former Mrs. Marion Ream Stephens of Thompson, who in Febru- ary was married to A. \. Vonsiatsky, at the Russian Cathedral in New York City, is-to be sued for $500. .00o by Mile. Mouromsky of Paris, who claims Jo be Nonsiatsky's legal wife. The dispatch is as follows:

Mrs. Vonsiatsky's residence is in Rid ley Park, Pa.
 The suit is the outcome of an alleged marriage between V. V. and Mile.

GREAT

ROMAN NOSES MEDICINE WAR
BONNET FAILED HIM
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

a CHEYENNE war party was attack.
"A ing Mormon emigrant train on
the Oregon trail. AS one of its de.
tenders dropped to the ground mortal

1 portloned warrior dashed forward to
count coup" (touch the fallen

had fallen off, exposing his bald head.
| AS the red man struck the dead emil

"Your Roman Nose has counted the
first coup on the longest-faced white
man ever killed"
In many respects Roman Nose
Woquini-"Hooked Nose') of the
Northern Cheyennes was the ideal
type of the Indian warrior. Although
he was not a chief, incidents of his
great strength, masterful personality
and wonderful bearing are legion.
Once In buffalo hunt his brother-in-
law drew his bowstring so powerfully
that it broke The arrow was thrown
high into the air as the sinew snapped.
Roman Nose happened to ride up close
behind his companion at this instant.
Reaching up he caught the shaft,
snapped ii against his own bowstring
and shot the buffalo dead.
A man of more reckless daring In
battle never lived. He had a war
bonnet the wearing of which he
fondly believed protected him from
danger. His faith in it was justified
until the day of the famous fight with
Gen. q. A. Forsyth's 81 scouts at
Beecher's Island, Colo, on Septembertj
49, 1868. Before going into the battle
Roman Nose told his companions that
he felt sure he would be killed that
day. According to the belief the
power Of the war bonnet would fail If
he ever ate anything that was taken
from dish with an iron utensil.
That morning at feast given by his
friends the Sioux, one of the women
who served the meal had used a fork
to take the food from the frying pan.
When his friends learned of this they
urged him to go through the ceremony
of publication necessary to restore the
power of the war bonnet, but For
syth's scouts appeared before he could
do so.
Therefore with the certain knowl-
edge that he would be killed, Roman
Nose assembled his warriors and led
them on charge against Forsyth. He
almost rode over two of the scouts
who were concealed in some high
grass short distance from the main
command One of these men fired.
The Cheyenne fell from his horse,
shot through the back and MORALLY
wounded. That evening at shutdown
Roman Nose died. The strong medi-
cine of his war bonnet had failed him
at last.
