NEVADA CITY, June 11.—T 'sane from grief and worry caused by the persecu- tion of relentless enemies Mrs. A. H. Mow, a Chinese woman, wife of Dr. Ah Mow, one of the oldest residents of Ne- vada County, committed suicide last night or early this morning by taking a large dose of raw opfum. Her body was found this morning. . Some-time ago a fire destroyed the prop- erty of Dr. Mow, several houses in all, and the proceeds of which were the main support of the aged couple. At the time it was thought the fire was the work of enemies of the family. Later this theory was substantiated by the fact that a number of hogs belonging to the Chinese couple were poisoned, dropping off day An fn- | vestigation was made with the result that the poison was discovered Th. facts, together with other inci- dents, caused the Chinese woman to be- was under surveillance. Last evening she seemed better and the watch over her was relaxed. With insane shrewdness and upon ending her life the woman searched the house until she found a vial of opium. She swallowed the poison and apparently died without pain. Ah Mow and his family have resided in Nevada County many years. At one time he was quite wealthy. In late years some mysterious vendetta has made his life miserable. e e-———— p- PRESIDENT DISAPPEARS AND BANKS CLOSE DOORS Alleged Shortage Throws Two Finan- cial Institutions Into the Hands of Receivers.

Peace of World Not Endangered By the Tragedy ) ONDON, June 11.—The tragedy of the palace ay Belgrade, farking the latest of the revolutions which have convulsed Servia from time to time dur- ing the past century, is not regarded in diplomatic circles in London as likely to lead to civil war. Stress is lald on the unpopularity of King Alexander since his marriage to Queen Draga. King Alexan- der’s successor, Peter Karageorgevitch, is a son-in-law of the Prince of Monte- negro and is regarded as being most ac- ceptable to the people. The general anxiety of the governments of Europe for peace is advanced as a rea- son why the Servian situation is not like- Iy to lead to complications. Should these unexpectedly arise official circles belfeve an Austro-Hungarian army will imme- diately march into Servia and restore or- der. This eventuality, however, is consid- ered improbable. The Servian Minister said there were many causes leading to the revolution. A larze section of the people were greatly dissatisfled with the tendency of King Alexander to eliminate the radical elg- ment from the oGvernment and by t constant rumors of his intention to ap- point Queen Draga's brother, Loungen- vitza heir apparent. In addition to this the Queen was disiiked by the people, who also were Intensely outraged at the recent suspension of the constitution. The Min ister did not expect that the changes would result in internecine strife eor in any real dangers to the country. He pointed out that the original Karageorge- vitch was not a Prince. He was a rich swine owner. The father of the new King was made a Prince in 1842 The Minister also related a curfous in- ¢ident. He sald that a month ago he was present at a clairvoyant's seance which a letter written by King Alexa der was handed to the clairvoyant, w immediately became violently agitated proclaimed that King Alexander would be assassinated very shortly and even de- picted the scene which appears to have been cnacted at the palace at Belgrade during the night. The Servian Minister later ecommuni- cated to the Foreign Office the official news of the assassination of the King and Queen of Servia. the latter's brother and two sisters, besides one general, one aid de-camp and two members of the guard He added that the telegram he had re- celved did not mention the murder of the Premier or the War Minister, but he had no reason to doubt the press statements. The Minister subsequently sald that Kaliev the new Foreign Minister, was Premier at the time King Milan married Queen Natalie. He was a strong man, and In conjunction with M. Avakumovies, the new Premier, he probably would be able to establish a strong government. Prince Peter Karageorgevitch is known to be a favorite of the Russian court, and it has long been thought that his som, 1§ years old. was destined to occupy the throne of Servia. The boy has been brought up at the Russian court, prac tically as the Czar's own child, and he probably will suceeed Prince Peter when he attains his majority. The Servian Minister added that Aus- tria and Russia would undoubtedly ac- knowledge the right of Servia to man- age her own affairs and Would not inter- vene. » ——— e Wil we have a civil war?
