ANNOUNCING A COURT DECISION IN ADVANCE
•
The Oregonian forecasts the decision o f the supreme
court on Wednesday declaring Ben W. Olcott governor
for four years, and insuring the appointment o f Sam Ko-
ser secretary o f state. This probably the first time on
record where a decision o f a high court was announced in
andvance, and a fe wyears ago the publication of such a
news story would have created a sensation. Now we pre
sume the court thinks it eminently propeT and fit that
the decision should biftipped o ff in advance, which s*hows
how old notions of right and propriety have passed away.

There is a multi-millionaire manufacturer not far away
who says that he can hire men to do his buying, to look
after the cash, the manufacturing, but he cannot find one
who can look after the advertising to his satisfaction. He
considers it hri most important work, and his success

REV. J. CRONENBERGER HIKES
DISAPPEARED ONCE BEFORE
1^1 lemon County Courier.)
Ato.e news is coming to light on
• he disiippcaramc ol the late Chris-
•i'i!i mm stei, iie\. i Crouenberger,
and while the reason for his leav
ing is not known it is shown tliut
there are a iiumber of reasons why
he might have left any of which
could have been sufficient.
There is a little matter of about
$1,000 worth of notes which come
due this month and about which
Mrs. Crouenberger claims to know
nothing.
it is only recently divulged that
this is not the first time the rever
end gentleman hud taken French
leave of bin family. According to a
report current here he disappeared
from a home in the east at one time
and after going to Reno and securing
a divorce from the present Mrs.
C-xinenherger lie mr tried another
woman whom he had met in church
work. It is said he lived with her
for a period ol seven yeurs until she
died and then he remarried the first
Mrs. ui oucut'ci gel in Colorudo.
1'his is the mailer which did not
come out when the half a hundred
or mole men were working night
and day at tt.e r’ver in search for
a body which'Mi s. Crouenberger hail
every reason to believe was not in
the river al all. Hud she spoken at
the time much work and labor might
have lcen avoided. She told her
story to members of the church
iKiurd later and they immediately
ordered further search of the river
discontinued.
Whetelir this Dr. Jekyl and Mr.#
Hyde ’\as running away from some
one or running to some one is not a
matter made public yet but there
is little doubt but that the entire
history of the case will come out at
some tin,«. If there was a woman in
the case years ago it is a safe guess
that there is a woman in the case
again. It is also safe guessing that
the thousand dollurs worth of notes
were insufficient to cause him to
leave home, fnmily and friends as
well as a good job paying him $150
a month. He could easily have bor
rowed the money here for the day
before he left he was held in the
highest esteem by all who knew
him and anyone with the money
would have been willing to ¿lip him
the change on his personal note.
The church will make a statement
tomorrow.
