Miss Elkins Was
Handed a Nice
Italian Lemon
Rome, Oct. 14.—The engagement of Miss Elkins to the Duke
of Abruzzi has been broken. No reason has been made public,
and people here are at a loss to understand it. The Dowager

good sense in not marrying the American heiress, and many be
lieve she is responsible for the disagreement.

engagement of Miss -Elkins and the Duke of Abruzzi has created a
sensation of social circles. The general opinion expressed as to
the reason is that Senator Elkins refused to settle an amount of
money on the Duke, which he demanded as a dowry for the bride.

ingly, after which the car was driven rapidly away. When the
nurse failed to find her charge and was told by a clerk in the store

did not worry until she arrived at her home and found that her
charge had not yet arrived.

Will Build Road
to the Tanana!
_ i
The building of a road from Hot I
Springs to the nearest point on the j
Tanana river is now under considera- j
tion by the citizens and it is very prob- j
able that the work of cutting the right j
of way will be started this week.
This will be a great convenience to
the merchants and miners ©f this sec
tion as it will then be necessary to
freight the goods only two miles over
land instead of six miles up the slough
as at present'. The country interven
ing' is level and a good roaa can be eas
ily constructed.
There is at present considerable
freight cached on the banks of the
Tanana including several heavy boilers
and as soon as the snow comes this will
be moved. \

Falls Through
Trap Door
Bert Spencer met with a pain
ful accident Sunday evening1 that
might easily have proven fatal
if it were not that a small bit of
luck stayed by him.
Every evening the trap door
leading to the cellar in the N. C.
store in left open in older to al
low the air to circulate in the
cellar. On Sundry evening after
everyone was supposed to have
gone, the door was opened as
usual. Mr. Spencer, however,
was yet in the office attending to
some late business and was not
aware of the door having been
opened. At about nine o’clock
he started to leave the office and
immediately stepped into the op
ening and fell to the floor of the
basement, a distance of about
sevens feet. He landed nearly
flat on his stomach and his head
struck some boxes rendering
him unconscious for a short time.
When he regained his senses he
climbed from the cellar and was
found and assisted by Mr. Baker.
Beyond a few marks which tem
poi’arily obscure the pristine
loveliness of hiscountenance, and
a lame back, Mr. Spencer suf
fered no lasting damage, for
which he may consider himself
truly thankful.
