COUNT TORTURES
BEAUTIFUL WIFE
(Continued from page 1.) -Two
years later the wife and child dls
appeared. The count gave no exolan
atlon. The police Investigated and vis
ited the count's house, and by break
ing a tightly sealed door leading to
the attic chamber, they found the
countess chained to the wall. Her
features were distorted by her intense
suffering and her hair had turned
white, and her once beautiful form war
reduced, to almost a skeleton. The
child was In a worse condition Ivlna
on a pile of rags In a corner, half
dead from hunger.'
When questioned, the servants con
fessed that the mother and child had
been held prlnsoners In the attic dur
ing the entire year and had been fed
on nothing but bread and water.
The only defense the count had to
offer was that his wife had been pay
ing attentions to a navy otficers.

with an employment agency In Port
land to go to Palmer Junction and
work for the Palmes, Lumber com
pany. He was given a pass to Palmer
Junction and his baggage was checked
to that point All went well until he
reached La flrande this morning.
Here, he suddenly discovered that La
Grande was good enough for him, and
that Palmer Junction had no attrac
tion. Of course, he needed his baa-
gage, and as his checks called for the
said suit cases at Palmer Junction, he
felt under the necessity of taking the
