The story of the millionaire 'silver king who died broke is finished. -As. his possessions are scattered only memories remain. The "Silver is ended. The state historical society is preserving some mementoes. Mostly the .belongings of this May and December couple are going as bargains. The auctioneer dangles articles before1 eager bidders. His foghorn voice booms out the story of "Haw" and "Baby Doe" -- and of th?ir beloved child --Rose May "Silver Dollar" Tabor. It is the story of a rise tp fairy-tale heights paved with silver and jewels -r- a crash to sordid depths and desolate deaths. • • Went to Colorado. ; Elizabeth McCourt was one of fourteen children, daughter of Peter McCourt, wealthy lumberman of Oshkosh, Wis. She married Harvey Doe, wrhose father was also a wealthy Wisconsin lumberman, and with him the young beauty went to the rough mining-, camps of Colorado. It, was out there that she met Tabor. He had i>een a wandering stonecutter, but in Leadville he settled down to ru'ining a grocery store. His frugai Vermont* wife scrubbed and washed and skimped for him. A generous man. Tabor, and he grubstaked two Dutch miners. They struck pay dirt. His share was $1,300,000. A wandering prospector picked him for a sucker. He "salted" an apparently worthy less mine and sold it to Tabor. It was the Matchless, of which Tabor later wrote his wife: __ "I sometimes believe the wealth of the Matchless is-inexhaustible." The mine had already made $11,000,000 for Tabor when Baby Doe came west. Her beauty was famed through all the mining camps when Tabor, many years her senior, met her apd fell in love with her. He and Baby Doe obtained divorces. Then they went to Washington, for Haw had become United States senator. With President Arthur and the cabinet as guests, they were married. The silver king showered gifts on his young bride. He built a mansion for her in Denver, Stripped in Crash Then came the crash of 1893. Tabor w$s stripped. The former grocery proprietor was given the job of Denver postmaster, but he died a year later from appendicitis. The silver bonanza had petered out, but he still believed it would come back. With his dying breath he begged his young wife: "IJold on to the Matchless." And so the beauty spent the rest of her life proving her . undyjng love and fidelity for the greatest man s h e had e v e r k n o w n . For forty-one years she lived in the h o p e t h a t t h e mine w o u l d come back as her husband had believed. She borrowed and begged money for mortgages. But it was futile. A year ago they found a frozen old crone at the mine. For days she had been dead and no one knew. Wrinkled and haggard with eighty-three years of spectacular living, Baby Doe lay on the floor in jj^mnants of a wardrobe that once made her the best-dressed woman ki Denver.' Lights of New York by L. L. STEVENSON YOLO Stolen Bonds Are Found; Owner Trebly Enriched St. Louis, Mo.--John H. Bruninga, local attorney, tripled his money as the result of being robbed. Bonds valued at $6,842 were stolen from the attorney's office four years ago. They were recovered recently and during the four-year period had become worth $21,996. --.A tourist found the bonds in Estes park, Colorado. He saw.them lying along the roadway in a remote section of the park. The tour-* iSt, Roy Bergman of Chicago,, turned them over to a broker for tracing. Through serial numbers it was learned they were bonds stolen from Bruninga four years ago. Apparently the thief threw the bonds away after unsuccessful efforts to cash them. If I had to draw a picture of a woman who makes her living guiding explorers and others in the jungles of British Guiana, I. wouldn't choose Mrs. Violet McTurk as my model--I've been to British Guiana and looked at that sullen, brooding jungle. Mrs. McTurk is young, softspoken and blonde. Her attractive appearance suggests'the beach and Sun umbrella of some swanky club rather than the "green hell," as it has been aptly termed. Nevertheless, difficult as it may be to think of a jungle guide as young, softvoiced and blonde, and especially one with the name Violet, Mrs McTurk makes her living that way. From November until May she guides explorers, movie expeditions and just plain tourists from Georgetown, the capital of Demerara, to Kaietur Fall, a three-day journey up the Potaro river -- and .'the- jungle begins at Georgetown. ' • • * Born in Barbadoes, Mrs. McTurk after her marriage seven years ago, went to British Guiana with; her husband, who rah freight and dug gold. Their home was on an island in the Potaro, which is a branch of the Essequibo. The island was a sort of kingdom, with . friendly dians as subjects. Word passed through the bush that McTurk had married and Indians came from as far away as a hundred miles -- in the jungle, a hundred miles is more than a mere bit of pleasant motoring -- to look at her and touch her blonde hair and white skin. Four years ago, McTurk died. It was then that Mrs. McTurk became a guide. She averages one trip a month and when not guidipg, runs a store at Kangaruma, 168 miles from Georgetown, where miners buy their supplies, the island home having become too lonely after McTurk died. She also supervises Indians who dig gold for her. • • • Mrs. McTurk is here "on a twomonths vacation?""' It is "Tuff first" visit to New York and she is duly impressed. As a matter of fact, she finds New York far more thrilling than the jungle. Of all _Jthe excitement, riding in the subway has supplied her with the most, she said. Then she added that New York is far more lonely than British Guiana--and there is something to that; Some way or Other, I can't take <down my hair and have a good cry over these wise guys down in Wall street. When repeal came along, they continued to buy their liquor from the bootleggers who had served them in the more or less dry spell. The reason was that the bootleggers sold various well-known brands at much less than was charged by stores licensed by the state. ,The bootleggers explained that theirs was smuggled goods and thus they escaped payment of customs and import duties, as well as taxes, and they were willing, for old time's sake to pass along the savings to their customers. • • • Well, everything went along all right until, as you may have seen, the government took charge of a bunch of gentlemen who had been supplying bootleggers with essential supplies, such as empty bottles with brand names, and revenue and tax stamps. Along with that came the announcement that the Wall street wise guys had been the biggest patrons of the dispensers of fake liquors. And instead of tears, there vC-ere snickers. • • • • That reminds me of a, well-known writer who took prohibition so seriously that when^it went into effect, he buried a supply which he thought, at the rate of one drink a day, would last him the rest of his life. When the bootleg industry began to flourish he took to hooch, laying by what he could, figuring thatvin time the stream would run dry. Then came repeal and it will still be a couple of months before he gets around to digging up any of his buried treasure. His fear is that he will have completely lost his taste for the McCoy.
