According to this story the once royal family was 'compelled to live in a single room of a convent at Ekaterinburg for weeks before the murder under a guard of bolshevik soldiers who insulted them shamefully. The valet said on July 17 all the members of the family were taken to the cellar of the convent and placed against the wall and shot one after the other. According to the story the murderers granted the last request of the former emperor Nicholas that his wife, who was ill, should die in his arms. According to the valet the .Grand Duchess Tatiana was only wounded by the shots of the riflemen and was- kill ed by blows from their rifle butts. All the bodies were burned in the out skirts of Ekaterinburg. MYSTERIOUS CHARACTER DIES IN HIS LONELY MOUNTAIN HUT (Special Star Correspondence.) Asheville, Dec. 5. Living a life of solitude in a lonely hut. located on a bit of rented ground in the Beaver dam section, Pink Young, a white man, was found dead yesterday by neighbors who, went to aid him. Young, with a cow, a pig and a truck patch, had managed to eke out an .ex istence for years. Where he came from or who his, people were, always has been a mystery, and death has closed the last door to the. solution of that mystery by removing Pink. He became ill several days ago and was ill for at least, three days before neighbors found him. They did all possible for the stricken man. but he refused proffers to remain with him, and they left him alone. In the lonely hut, he died as he had lived, away from" his fellow-man. Officials have .been able to locate no relatives to date, and the unfor tunate man1 will be buried by the county. ', LION LEARNED THAT LAMB BECAME A BATTERING RAM (London Tit-Bits) The proprietor of .a traveling me agerie had trained a lion and a lamb to live together in the same cage. The unusual sight was always well adver tised beforehand, and invariably proved a big draw. Presently, however,- there came a time when the attraction ceased to figure in the show and the show man was asked the reason. "Had to separate 'em," he replied, gloomily. "Indeed! Did he turn savage, then.? I thought he looked such a mild old lion.' "Lion" interrupted the showman. "Lion be blowed! It' Was - the lamb: When he grew up he started butting like a battering ram. Used to knock the poor lion about something shameful." Stung Again. Two rookies were indulging in the soldier's privilege growling about his station and how the' soldier gets stung for everything.'"

"Say,. mis ter," hesaid, "I know, where you can get a chick 4h dinner for two"' bits. A good big one,- too." The soldiers looked skeptical, but the newsie insisted tfeat he was tell ing the truth. Finally, the soldier who had been stung asked where this place was - located. . The newsie mentioned an address on. one of the side streets of San Antohfo . . - - - A few cjays liter the two. soldiers went to the' city and detertnined to visit this cheap restaurant.

He says concerning the assassination of Lin coln: "After the tragedy I was com pelled to remain In my house until af ter Booth's capture, for unfortunately I resembled him very much in feature so much so that Theodore Kaufman, he historical painter, asked me to sit for him for his famous painting of 'The Assassination of President Lincoln.'
