mean husband and father were told
before Juvenile Judge J.'C. Henry to
day when the first of a series of ac
tions against the man whose name Is
J, R. Bumgardner and the story of
his czar-like rule about his poverty
stricken home near the stockyards
has astoniBbed the officials. His ar
rest came about last night when J. G.
Kllpack, field agent for the Portland
Boys and Girls' society Investigated
the report that, an 11-year-old boy
had been driven from home. He and
Truant Officer Faulk found conditions
as reported to him by neighbors and
not only had the youngsters been driv
en from the near-resemblance to a
parental roof but the other children
were found to entertain a terrific fear
for the man wfoom the officials call a
brute in every sense of the word. The
wife found it necessary to call police
protection after the investigators had
left orders at the home that the man
send the children to school next Mon
day morning. Policemen went to the
home last evening in response to ex
cited calls for help 'Bumgardner was
reported to be on the verge of doing
bodily harm to the wlfe and children.
When arrested he had brass "knucks"
in his possession and this afternoon
Information will likely be filed against
him for carrying concealed and dan

' as far the trifling ums went, and if
, anowea to go 'free there seems no
question but that the reign of terror
In the dilapidated home will continue
with harrowing and increasing fero
ciousness. The problem arising Is a
serious one and Mr. Kllpack is giving
his years of experience vent in solv
ing a solution with the aid of the lo
cal officers. Peopie who come into
contact with the affair say . they
would urge the woman to seek divorce
and with the law's good right arm keep
him away from her home and chil
dren. The children have been or
dered to school Monday. The oldest Is

the next three. Starvation la not the

Issue that the woman and her children
will be freed from the sufferings and

sands of followers of the colors of
Yale and Princeton are pouring Into
New Haven for the game which will
award', gridiron honors to one or the
other- university tomorrow. Hotels,
clubs, fraternity houses and dormi
tories lrave been thrown open to the

ery train from east and west Is bring
ing its quota of enthusiasts, and it is
already apparent that the Yale stands

championship for the, season. Fully
15,000 spectators, including big dele
gations of alumni of both Institution
from all over the west, are expected
to fill the stands when the referee's
whistle calls the rival elevens to battle.
That it will be a contest well worth
seeing Is regarded as certain In view
of the season's records of the two
teams. Local sentiment favors the
chances of the Wisconsin team though
It Is freely acknowledged the Badgers
will have to put up a hard fight to
foold their own with the Minnesota
players. Minnesota and Wisconsin
have met regularly on the gridiron
Inoe 1890, with the exception of the
year 1906. Minnesota has 11 victories
to her credit and Wisconsin eight.
