In 1916, Sarah was in Spokane,
Wash, where she met r. T. Wilbur,
a San Francisco jeweler. They were
married. 1t was true love, her aSso-
ciateS believed, for Sarah pampered
him with costly gifts and wrote him a
check for $250,000. But the marriage
lasted only a year because he fancied
the gay life of wine and roses; she
preferred the pursuit of business.
She divorced him.
For the next ten years, Sarah de-
voted her time to making more and
more money, building on the founda-
ton left her by the pick and shovel
stiff" Then she met George Francis
Scollard, machinery salesman. He
sold her a bill of goods and bought
her a marriage license.
After the wedding, they went on a
honeymoon TO South America as
bizarre as everything else in Mrs.
Scollard's life. They made a threesome
with Scollard's former wife, the new
one carrying 100000 in Liberty
Bonds and $880,000 in cash.

something went wrong-that the en-.

stranger, including mysterious dis
appearance that was explained only
when her ashes turned up among the
private papers of her attorney and
business agent.
Sarah Peterson was public
stenographer in 1908 when she met
James r. Smith, whom she once de-
scribed as "a pick and shovel stiff"
But whatever kind of stiff he was,
she owed her start to him. For Smith
was reported to have been the dis
coverer of the Hecla silver mine in
the mountains of Idaho.
Smith was dying when Sarah be-
came his wife in 1908. There was
something mysterious about the mar
riage, too. For, after his death, Seth
+. Crews, an attorney, sued her for
$4,000, claiming the money as his fee
for arranging the match. But Sarah
had nest egg of around 100000 in
