FEAR FOR MRS. IDA FLAGLER

Multimillionaire’s Divorced Wife Hurt Badly In Auto Mishap. Central Valley, N. Y., Nov. 12. —Mrs. Ida A. Shourds Flagler, divorced wife of Henry M. Flagler, multimillionaire. Standard Oil magnate and Florida railroad builder: Dr. Carlos F. MacDonald, the noted alienist; the doctor’s chauf

feur and Mrs Flagler’s maid are under the care of physicians at Dr. MacDonald’s private sanitarium here, suffering from injuries they received in an automobile crash. Fears are expressed that Mrs. Flagler might suffer permanent!} from the experience. Dr. MacDonald has a sanitarium where Mrs. Flagler has been a patient for some time. She was divorced by her husband on Aug. 14, 1901. at Miami, Fla. That was four years after she had been committed to the MacDonald sanitarium at Pleasantville. She had been declared legally insane on Aug. 5, 1899. On Aug. 22, eight days after he got his divorce, Flagler married Miss Lilly Keenan of Keenansville, at Wilmington, N. C. Mrs. Ida Flagler’s delusions are pathetic. She fancies sometimes that she is Queen Catherine 11. of Russia, and at other times she is Josephine in the heydey of her life at Malinaison.
