FALLS III WELL
JOSEPH H BA RS OF DEATH- OK
KOKMKR RESIDKNT.
Tragedy C'anipB on Trail of Well
Known Family.
(Joseph Herald.)
Tragedy frequently marks 'entire
families for its victims? In this re
gard it must seem thut a violent death
was predestined for both Mr. and
Mrs. Scott E. King, the former being
a pioneer of Joseph and a construc
tive business man during his resi
dence here. He built and operated
for a period of time the planing mill
now owned and conducted 'by Dawson
brothers, and when he left here it
was to find an enlarged field for his
business talent. It will be remem
bered by old residents that Mr. King
lost Ms life in Lake Washington near
Seattle, it being presumed that he
had suicided. Now word has reached
here that his relict, Mrs. King, was
drowned in a well at Preemption, 111.,
on June 25th. The following account
of the two suicides was published in
a recent issue of the Seattle Post-In-tulligenccr:
Mrs. Scott E. King, formerly of Se
attle, was drowned in a well at Pre
emption, III., June 25, according to
word received in Seattle yesterday.
The information is also tersely given
that her children. a boy and a girl.
!were left in the care of Mrs. King's
brother shortly before she took her
life.
Seven years ago Mr. and Mrs.
King were two of tihe most prominent
residents of Ranier beach. They had
a beautiful home; they had two fine
children, and their wealth was esti
mated at more than $200,000. King
was an astute business man.
Came Here From Oregon.
From Oregon he (had come to Se
attle, and when Alaska loomed as
the land of promise he had gone there
and made his fortune. Coming tack
to Seattle he married Miss Lulu Con
ley, a head nurse at the Seattle Gen
eral Ihiospital.
When difficulties arose between
residents of Ranier valley and the
Seattle, Renton & Southern railway,
Kink hit on the idea of paralleling the
line. The idea possessed him. He
talked and dreamed of nothing else.
And then something in King"s
mental and physical machinery went
wrong. Ho forgot his ambitious
plans. He grew moody, taciturn.
One day a boat was found drifting
on Lake Washington, iln it were
King's hat and coat. He has never
been heard of since.
His widow lost her Ihome. The for
tune her husband accumulated in
Alaska vanished. When poverty had
stripped everything from her her
brother came and took Ihcr and her
children to Illinois.

Record.
"The Moment Before," a Famous

Pauline Frederick in the stellar role
of M:idge, a haughty gypsy girl,
eclipses herself in this new diameter-ization.
The story opens in England. The
Duchess and the Duke of Maldon are
seen lavishing gifts upon the well-deserving
poor. While returning home
ward they pass a church, just as the
chimes arc tolling the noon hour. The
Duchess becomes (horror-stricken at
their peal, us that is the hour which
has been forecast for her death by a
fortune teller. The Duke comforts
bar and they again turn toward the
mansion.
A few days later, while out riding.
the Duke falls from his horse and
dies. The Duchess, grief-stricken over
her husband's death, hears the 18tihi
and 21st verses of the lath chapter
nt Matthew read at the sermon. Af
fected and overcome by the text she
staggers and falls, She chimes tolling
the 12 strokes of noon, lhe gypsy s
phopheoy comes true, but a moment
before her death, the past looms up in
her terrified mind. Sthie sees herself
as Madge, a sneering, tlirting, gypsy
maid. Her husband, John, is at her
side as they wind their way through
the forest. His brutality cowers her
and ril'.e despises his very sight. Two
game wardens and Harold, the second
son of the Duke of Maldon, hear the
shot as John fells a deer. Madge and
Harold meet, as John is apprehended;
fascination seizes them both. Harold
riudons Jtrtvn, and husband and wife
depart.
Harold meets Madge several times,
both feeling more interested in each
ether at each meeting. They are
(-might while kissing by John. A fight
is avoided only by hir keen wits.
After a fight and ilight in which.
Lionel is killed. John ami Madge take
refuge in Australia. Harold, un
knowingly, does likewise.
They meet and John is killed at the
h:mds of Madge. T.v two lovers then
make their way to England where
they reign jointly over the late
Duke's vast territories.
