She built the fire and was engaged in the task, when Hendricks began abusing her. Her en deavors to pacify him came to naught and he finally caught and choked her until she became unconscious. Neighbors interupted and when med ical assistance reached the scene the wife was found to be in a precarious condition, although it is stated today that Mrs. Hendricks will live. Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks are both part Indian. The case has been turned over to the county officials by the city police. —Ex. Portland, Ore. June 18, 1909.
