 Cilherson said there were few marrying people in Tombstone, you know" and it was common for men 10 live with women not their wives, but in the case of Jack Crabtree he declared the latter always spoke of the woman and baby as his wife and child
 Mrs. Mary J. Derwood, in whose care the baby was left. began her story at the time she was the Wife of Mike kileen, who was shot and killed by "Bucksin Frank Leslle, whom she later married.
 Adoption papers were introduced whereby Ed Bullock, who had been I partner of Crabtree's in the livery business. took in the homeless in- fant and provided for her, There was also introduced the marriage license of Lottio. lotta or Carlot1a Crahtree (the name appeared Ntlh all three spellings) and Robert CoCkburn.

wide public protest,
The death of Valentino has not

although some things attending his
death and funeral should never have
happened.
AS far as I am concerned 1 have
no desire to see Valentino in death.
Since he has been a movie actor l
have been concerned only with his
work as an acPr.
But under present day conditions,

public figures have stepped intosthe

noticing the reception on part of the
public of her forthcoming pictures.
My plea is that the actor be
Judged and considered only on the
basis Of his work on the screen or

The death Of Valentino no way
changes my often stated attitude
concerning my ideas of Valentino as
an actor I know there are millions
who found the greatest delight in
his films. The box office tells that
even today.

BODIED,
DISAPPEARS
by w. B. Hibbs e Co.

CHICAGO, April TO- A queer
boyish bob" brought shame to Miss
Isabelle Anderson, pretty 25-year-
old student nurse at Henrotin Hos
pital. and she has disappeared.
Search was started today for the
girl, who has not been seen since
Wednesday when she left the
nurses home for the hospital, where
she was assistant surgical director.
The nurse, who is said to have
feared the taunts of her fellow
students, has gone somewhere to
wait until her hair grows out, ac-
cording to the theory advanced by
the authorities who have been
notified.
Miss Mary He'll, supervisor OF
nurses, declared Miss Anderson was
subject to heart attacks, and that
she left the hospital on Tuesday
afternoon feeling i'll.
She called Wednesday morning
and said she would not report for
work, but called again later, and
said she would be there.
