Clandestine marriage and eviction from parental homo with attempted nulclde of the bride' mother as n idlmnx. Tbl chapter, with romanco and tragedy equally blended, nan Junt been written In the life of i7-ycar-old Olga Pries, now Mrs. Harry Churchill. The marriage of tho child wife, for ulie 1 a mere nllp of a school girl, pretty and petted, caused her mother, Mrs. Ma I'rles, to attempt telf-detructlon with a dote of polaon. In nplte of pnrcntal opposition, most tiroriounccd and violent. 19-year-old Harry Churchill and OIrii 1'rlea crossed the river to Council Illuffs Sunday aftenioon and were married. No welcome awnited them when they re turned and announced their nmrrlape. There was no relenting upon tbe part of either of their parents. It was a clouded Hons' moon from (he beginning. The tragic feature came on .Monday after' noon, when Mrs. .Tries attempted to com mH suicide. A written appeal from the daughter that oho be forgiven was answered verbally by the messenger boy who dcliv crod the note. Kxcltcdly the boy hastened to the voting wife and announced that the mother had refused to read the note and that Instead she had grasped from her toilet tablo ft bottle of belladona and had drunk Us contents. Hoy AVltuvsvN the Attempt. Klraet Hall, tho messenger boy, witnessed this proceeding. He ran to an apartment house nearby, where Mrs, Churchill aud her husband were awaiting an answer to the noto which had Just been rent, and In formed them of the poisonous draught Mrs Tries had taken. Then he telephoned his office and through It tho 'pollco depart ment Van notified. Ur. J. to. Halph, city physician, arrived at Mrs Tries' home, 2224 Karnam street, In a remarkably short space of time. He ap plied a stomach pump and drew off nil of tho poison. While ho was working over his patient pretty, blue-eyed, rosy-chocked Olga Churchill rushed into her mother's room. She flung tbe long coat, which made her graceful fig tiro the more attractive, upon tbe floor, and throwing herself bo- sidn the couch burst Into a violent parox ystn of grief. ' "Oh, .mammal mamma!" sho cried, ago nisingly, "why did you do It7" With tear-stained face sho looked Into tho doctor's ayes and beseeched him to save her mother's llfo.. Then she wbh led from the room by tho colored maid who was In attendance upon Mrs. Tries. Outside the door the glrl-wlfe listened intently to every sound from the Inner room. H seemed to her an Indeterminable length of time beforo Dr.-. Ralph appeared and assured her of his belief that her mother would not die She tripped lightly downstairs and in the reception hall below Joined her litis band, lie had chafed nt the dolay but was Immeasurably relieved when his wlfo an nouncid the doctor's 'favorable verdict. The young wlfo' tears were momentarily dis pelled and. her silvery laughter resounded through the house.

It Is folly and the per formance uluftt be annulcd beforo it Is too late. I love you with all the love of a mother's heart, but this marriage I ennnot and will not countennuce," ' Slorni of l'firrrttnl Wrath. Mrs. Churchill was obdtlrnto and her son knew that argument with her would be unavailing. This 'denunciation of the mar riage by the young man's mother was the first cbstacle encountered to darken til. happiness of tho then brief honeymoon. Tho youthful couple then proceeded to tho home of the bride's mother. There n reception quite as chilling awaited them. Mrs. Tries would not receive her oon-ln-law. She even refused to see him. While mother and daughter were lu tho former's apartments, Mrs. Churchill was ushered Into tho house nnd asked for an Interview with Mrs. Tries. The" request was not granted and Mrs. Churchill left the house. Later sho aent n note to Mrs. Tries asking eo-operallon In separating the young people and In nn annulment of tho marrlngc, but Mrs. Tries gave no answer. Harry Churchill anil his wife also left Mrs. Tries' resldetico nnd reglitcred at a downtown hotel, where they spent tho night. All night long, the colored servant at tho Tries homo says, Mrs. Tries was nlono in her room. She soeincd ' paralyzed with grief. She moaned to hersqlf that she had been cruelly treated and bemoaned the fnto that has mndo her lot eo unhappy. Within easy reach the bottle containing" tbe holla' donna stood, but not until Morning after noon, when (he noto canto from her daughter, did tho Idea to 'end It all is fliilcldo seem to eomo to her. Monday afternoon Harry Churchill and his bride went to 2201 Farnam street and from there rang for a messenger boy. Kl mcr Hull responded to tho summons nnd delivered a note first to Mr. Churchill sis ter. Reluming with the answer another note was given him, addressed to Mrs. Churchill's mother, 'I tbok tho nolo to the address given me," said tho messenger boy, ' and wai shown up to the woman's, room. She didn't read the note, but the servant girl read It and told her what wan In it. Then the woman went over to a 'table and drank something out of n bottle. Sho didn't say anything until after sho hadMald down on tho lounge. Then Bho told the girl to bring her a pencil and paper and said, 'I want to write to my darling baby Blanche.' Prom the way sho rrled and moaned I thought she hnd poisoned bcrstdf, so I ran back to tho young fellow and tho girl who had sent mo over lyid told them oboul It." Hid Hventfnl Hour? moon.

I'm to blnmo for all of It and I feci terribly over it. I cau't seo why our parents should object so to our mar riage. Olga end I love each other dearly nnd we wero married by a minister.

'Sometimes I halt wish I had gono to tho theater Friday night Instead of spend lug the evening with Mr. and Mrs. Rose and Olga. It was then that we decided upon this. If I had gono to the theater as I had Intended all of this troublo wouldn't have como on. Mcforo that night we hadn't intended to get married so soon. I don't regret our murrlago at all, but I do feel badly over Its outcome. A young fellow feels pretty blue, I tell you, wheu ho finds that he has done something that gives bis mother a lot of grief." Harry Churchill was until recently cm ployed as steward in tho Lincoln hotel nt Lincoln. Since his mother assumed tho management of tho Farnam hotel In this city ho has been engaged In a almilni' ca paclty. Trouble In Illroree Cnnrt.

It later davolopcd that Blanche was in tho best of health Dr. Tries took tho younger daughter to Gormany against the mother's will, It Is said. It developed during tho progress of the divorce case that Dr. Tries and his two daughters, Olga and Blanche, were to leavo tho city ouu afternoon for a short trip, ostensibly, to Colorado Springs. Mrs. Tries went to the station to bid them adieu and found that Instead of boarding a westbound train they wero leaving on a train for Chi cago. The wife and mother entered a tear ful, and at tho samo time vigorous, protest nnd In tbe choice between father and mother Olga decided to remain with tho latter. Blanche Tries Is still in Germany. Dr. Tries alleged that at one time his wife had entered his offlco and maliciously destroyed all of Its furniture and his surgt cal Instruments. Dr. and Mrs, Tries are now divorced. Mary Teterson. a domestic In tho home of J. S Collins, 1711 Burt street, was found dead In a room of tbe house Monday morn ing under circumstances which led the coroner to make an Investigation during tho afternoon. When found tho woman was lying upon her stomach on tho enrpet, her arms dou bled under her eheBt nnd her face half burled In a pool of blood. The clotted blood being washed nwoy, several ugly contu sions wero revealed In the neighborhood of tho nose nnd eyes. Tho posj-mortom examination which was In progress nil day Monday disclosed the fact that the woman's nose wns broken, and that there wns a clot of blood upon the brain Just back of the base of the no3e. This evidently had been caused by n blow. The heart, liver, lungs nnd all other vital organs wero In normal condition. The fact that the woman's tongue wns lacerated ns though chewed led to tho supposition that sho might have taken poison, and for this rcHson tho stomnch will bo removed, nnd Is now In tho laboratory of Dr. V. R. Laven der, who will subject it to a chemical anal) sis. Drs. a. R. Gilbert nnd K. W. Towoll, who conducted tho post-mortem, havo pre pared their report, but have not as yet sub mitted It. They will probably do so this morning. Monday afternoon Sergeant Wclsenberg and Detcctlvo Mitchell were detailed to In vestlgato tho ease, and they aro still at work upon It. Who! 11 r. illln So. The body was discovered about 9 o'clock yesterday morulng by Mr. Collins, senior member of the firm of Collins & Morrison, wholesale saddlery, 1208-10 Farnam street. Mr. Collins Is a bachelor nnd lived ulono in tho house on Burt strcctilils only servant being Miss Teterson. Ho gives this ac count of tho Incident: I last saw the, woman allvo about 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, nt which time I finished my Sunday dinner nnd went out for a walk, leaving her nlono lu tho house. She had worked for mo for four years or more, and, ns had been her custom, I sup posed she" would go out for n while during the nfteruonn. I don't know whether sho did or not. DincoverH I lie Corpse. Monday morulng I nroso at my usual time, but found that the hot wnter usually left lu tho bath room by my servant was not there. I went down to tho kitchen, aud thcro was no Are nor any breakfast lu preparation. Thinking that something was wrong, 1 went '.upstairs. Miss Petersen's door was open and I could sea that her bed had been unoccupied during the night. 1 passed through tho hall, and in n room op posite her bedroom saw her lying at full longth on the floor. I could seo that tho carpet was saturated with blood, and Im mediately callcd'ln my neighbors. Wo after ward had tho' body removed to Coroner Swanson's undertaking rooms. I talked with cno of tho neighbor women who called, a Mrs. C. G. Wosterdahl, and she expressed tho opinion that Miss Teter son had not left tho house b)dco. doing tho after dinner work, busing ber-oplnion upon tlit! fact that ktho hud not removed her apron. I forgot to tell you that Miss Tctcr ton when found wns barefooted, her shoco and stockings being found In her bedroom. Thero was nothing peculiar lu the fact that sho was not In her o.wn room. Sho was nn old and trusted servant, and sho knew it to be her prlvllcga to sit in any room she choose, and, Indeed, It was her custom to sit In this particular room, as It has two pleasant cast windows. I havo often seen her sitting by one of them sow inc. Alone lit the HuuNe. "So fur as I know no strangers entered tho houso during tho day, and the neighbors toll mo they soav no ono enter or leavo It during tho tlmo I wns out for my walk, which was between 3 and G o'clock In tho afternoon. Tho deceased was In good health save for n minor disorder which I bellovo Is never futnl In Its effects The coroner's first Impression was that Miss Teterson had fallen out of her chair In a fainting spell as the result of an affec tion of tho heart. The rocking chair was about llvo fjet behind her.

After the blood had beeti washed from her fuco, however, it was found thnt there were several contusions so locuted that they cculd not well be explained by a simple fall. Her nose was broken. Over her left cyo was a largo bruise, covering an nrea of sovornl square Inches, badly discolored and swollen, which looked as though it bad been mado with n heavy, blunt weapon, and her upper Hp upon the left side was bruUcd nnd swollen. Coroner Ik In Uaiilit, "After I made theso discoveries," said the coroner, "I chunged my mind about tho case, though I wouldn't Ilka to go on record nt this stage of tho proceedings as saying that I think tho woman met with foul play. Tho doctors have not yet re ported tho result of tho post-mortem ex amination. I will say, however, that to my mind the case looks queer and I have notified tho pollco of what I have learned concerning It. "When I got there, yesterday morning the woman wns lying upon, her stomach on tho carpot, her face half burled in a pool of blood that was coagulated and evidently several hours old, They told mo she had not been touched since she wns fdund. Her arms wero doubled up under her body, not outspread au they would have been had sho thrown them out to break the force of a fall, which fact leads me to belle vo that, sho must have been unconscious when she1 took that position. Her legs were slightly flexed at tho knees, Thero was no evidence of a struggle? tho furniture In the room wns In perfect order, and the woman's clothing was no more disarranged than would hao been occasioned by a pre cipuato tan nut or a rociong chair," I'oUoii Theory J At) vitnccil. One of the two physicians who Is con ducting tho post-mortem examination says that with tho exception of n small clot cf blood on tho brain, near tho baso of tha nose, nil tho vital organs are normal, This clot may have been caused by a blow. Thero aro also remote signs of poisoning, as the womun's tnnguo Is chewed, as Is often noticed in cases wherein the patient dies In paroxysms as tho result of poison. "Tho woman had evidently eaten a hearty meal Just before death," ho said, "as tho stomach wns full of food, upon which Qiij process or digestion had hut just begun Death must have occurred within thirty minutes after tho meal." . Mr. Collins does not credit the theory that the domestic wns killed by burglars who, while looting the house, were sur prised by her. as he soys nothing on tho promises appears to have been disturbed, and for the further reason that the neigh bors saw no one enter the house during his "absence. deal.
