Franklyu V. Maple, one of the pub
Ushers of the Rogue Ynlley Record.
was taken into custody by Sheriff
Wilbur Jones lust Thursday after
110011 and taken to Jacksonville where
he was lodged in the county jail to
await an examination before County
Judge Neil on a charge of insanity,
which had been preferred by his wife
and biii-iness associate, Mrs. Evelyn
Maple, says the Herald. The exam
ination was held Saturday, but evi
dence sufficiently strong to con
vince the court that the man was a
proper subject for the insane asylum
not being forthcoming, he was dis
charged. Mrs. Maple then went be
fore Justice of the Peace Dox and
swore to a complaint charging her
husband with threatening to kill. A
hearing was given the accused man
and upon the evidence adduced Jus
tice Dox held Maple to the grand
jury in the sum of $.jl)0 bail. Maple,
however, was released on his own
recognizance and given until Mon
day to secure bondsmen. He came to
Central Point Saturday evening, and
it seems that on Sunday the couple
patched up their differences, as on
Monday morning they visited a num
ber of citizens and business men in
an effort to secure satisfactory sig
natures to his bond. Failing in this,
however, the couple drove to Jack
sonville Monday afternoon, where
Mrs. Maple asked for a dismissal of
the case, stating that they had set
tled their differences and were 'again
living together. It is understood that
this was agreed to and that the case
was allowed to remain open until Mrs.
Maple can settle the accrued costs,
when the case is to be dismissed.
Maple has been in Central oPint
for several months, being employed
for some time as a printer in the Her
ald office. After leaving that office
it appears he conceived the idea that
n second newspaper and print shop
would be a highly profitable business
in Central Point, and being without
sufficient funds, it is said, to em
bark in busi.i:ss on his own account,
he advertised in a Portland paper,
for a partner who coula finance his
project. The present Mrs. Maple, then
Mrs. PilWiury of Portland, came here
in response to the advertisement,
bought v. printing plant and a few
days later the couple were married.
Since that time there have been fre
quent rumors of indications of lack
of harmony within the firm, the re
cent proceedings in court being the
latest outcome.

It is estimated that the present crop
