Telegrams had been sent to him at Seattle and Emeryville, but never were delivered, as he was at Santa Anita, hence he-did not know of the death of his wife until she was buried. They passed the summer at Seattle, occupying a cottage as their temporary home, and when the Meadows season closed she went east to visit relatives and friends, intending to join her husband at Los Angeles about opening day. She left New York several days ago for Los Angeles, going via Albany, where she stopped to visit friends and was asphyxiated at the home of. her friends in that city.
