Cecil. "We have hired all th men we

3 ARE DRIVEN TO SUICIDE
Much Tragedy In Life of Colorado
Woman, Divorced Wife of Episco
palian Clergyman Comes to
Portland to Wed Again. -
DENVER Colo., Aug. 20. (Special.)
The jilting of a society belle, her sub
sequent marriage to an Episcopal
clergyman, three mysterious deaths,
and a divorce are recalled by the mar
riage in Portland Tuesday of Mrs. Cecil
North-Tummon and R. A. Turner, of
Denver. The couple went to Oregon to
be married because Colorado laws and
those in California, where they went
before going to Portland, prevent re
marriage within a year after the
granting of a divorce. Mrs. North
Tummon obtained a divorce in Greeley,
Colo., from an Episcopalian clergyman
in April last.
A mysterious fate has pursued the
family of Mrs. North-Tummon, who
was a belle in Greeley, Colo., in her
girlhood. When still in her teens she
became engaged to A. L. Thomas, a
traveling salesman. All was in readi
ness for her wedding when the pros
pective bridegroom dropped out of
sight. Investigation disclosed he al
ready had a wife and several children
In Ohio. .
Then the Rev. Frederick Nortn-Tam-mon,
rector of Trinity Church, Greeley,
loomed large on the social horizon.
He was attracted by Miss Robblns' in
telligence and beauty, and they were
married five years ago. The rector
had come to Greeley 10 years before
and his first wife had died.
Then happened an event which was a
turning point in Mrs. North-Tummon's
life While she, with her mother and
sister, Mrs. John W. Tollefson, were
visiting in California, John W. Tollef
son, Mrs. North-Tummon's brother-in-law,
who was manager of the Gllcrest
Lumber Company at Ault. Colo., was
found dead In bed October 28, 1907,
with a bullet hole through his head.
Propped up in front of him was a pho
tograph of his wife and daughter,
Luctle. ,T.
Mrs Tollefson hurried from the West
and at first declared her husband had
been murdered. She held this belief
until a leter writen by her husband be
fore his death was found. After she
read the letter she bagan to fall mental
ly and physically and th. reatened to
end her life.
Relatives were vigilant, but on the
morning of November 8, less than two
weeks after the suicide of her husband,
she was found dead, having shot her
self in the same way as her husband
and at almost the same time In the
morning. She also had writen a letter,
explaining the tragedy. Tha Coroner,
Dr. T, S. Macy, took, charge of this let
ter as he did of the husband's, and re
fused to divulge the contents, declaring
he had given his word to keep the con
tents of the letters secret.
There -were rumors that Tollefson,
In his letter, had confessed- that he had
been living a double life, but these were
denied strenuously.
Two days after Mrs. Tollefson com
mitted suicide and also in the morn
ing. Ira Braden, a well-known youth
of Greeley, shot himself to death. He
was a great friend of the Tollefsons.
It Is said that the Rev. Mr. North
Tommon and his wife did not live to
gether from the time of the two sui
cides and the revelations contained in
the sulctdes's letters. Mrs. North-Tummon
sued for divorce In Greeley, alleg

Refusal to Decline Support Defined
as Wise Politics.
CLEVELAND. Aug. 20. With the
statement that President Taft Is one
of the ablest and most sagacious ex
ecutives the United States has ever had,
John Hays Hammond made a vigorous
defense of the Administration today at
the annual outing of the Cuyhaoga
County League of Republican Clubs.
Mr. Hammond Justified Mr. Taft's
support of the Aldrich-Cannon section
of the party on the ground that if he
had plunged into a Republican civil
war his four-years' term of office
would have been barren of results and
not one of his campaign pledges could
have been carried out. Mr. Hammond
said In part: . .
"It Is quite true that he does not play
'good politics' according to the conception
of hothouse politicians, in that he does not
subordinate questions of National im
portance to those of party expediency
or even to those of self-aggrandizement,
but recent events must have Im
pressed it on the minds of all critics
that the President has a masterful
grasp of political affairs and of polit
ical methods.
