Charged With Blackmailing.
"Mrs Mary Vauehan Elbert, con
sidered a respactable woman, is under
arrest here for blackmailing Frank
Hurlburt, a wealthy cattleman, out of
$2,000," says an E! Taso special to a
Chicago paper.
A writer in the Telegram Bays that
Mrs. Elbert was born in Oregon City
34 years ago, where her father was do
ing a general merchande MiBinese.
The girl, upon attaining her 20th year,
was lemarkahle tor her beauty and ac
complishments.
About that time she became matri
monially engaged to Frank Wilmerd-
ing, a commercial traveler for Crane &
Brigham, ol Kan trancisco, who vis
ited Oregon two or three times a year.
After a happy married life of about
three years, Wilinerding died on one of
his trips to Portland, leaving his wife
$18,000 life insurance and an estate val
ued at $20,000 more.
Then she induced her family to leave
Oregon City and move to San Francisco.
Her father became her financial agent,
and Bhe, becoming stage-struck, studied
for the drama under Mrs., Julia Mel
ville. Mrs. Wilmerding, however, did not
succeed in the dramatic profession, and
afiertwo or three years "barnstorm
ing," Bhe married one Elbert, a theatri
cal manager much given to gambling,
in Sacramento.
This couple eventually drifted to New
Mexico, where after snuandering most
of his wife's money, Elbert one night
Committed suicide.
The Telegram's Informant says that
Mrs. Elbert's maiden name was Vaughn.
Her people were very respectable, and
when he last saw her about 10 years
ago, she yet was as modest and circum
spect in her manner as when she was
20 years old. He doubts the gmlt of
the chatge against her.

Weighing Things
The value of our groceries depends on
three things: How much you get for
your money; how good it is when you
get it, and the price you pay for what
you get. We have sugars that are

have coffees that will satisfy the appe
tite and the pocketbook. Staple goods
at less than staple prices. We give you
