OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2,1907,
LEFT CHILDREN
IN MINNESOTA
Felix Vouk Ran Away With
His Wife's Sister.
LIVED HERE FOR, A YEAR
Whereabouts Ascertained By
Letter and Officer Takes
Criminal Back
For Trial.
Deserting his wife and children in
St. Cloud, Minn., ona year ago, and
coming to Oregon City where he has
since lived witn tne sisier 01 ma who,
Felix Vouk was arrested Saturday af
ternoon by Sheriff R. B. Beatle, and
turned over to the custody of Deputy
Sheriff Eich, of St. Cloud, whose ex
tradition papers from Governor John
son, of Minnesota, had been honored
by the Oregon authorities. Elch left
at once with his prisoner.
Vouk is an Austrian, about 40 years
of age, and is of huge bulk, weighing
about 230 pounds. - He ocame to this
country when an infant, and lived
practically all his life in St Cloud,
marrying and raising a family of chil
dren. . He became enamoured with a
sister of his wife and about- one year
ago they "dissappeared about the same
time; While they were suspected of
having gone away together, no defi
nite information relative to their
whereabouts could be obtained. Vouk
and the -woman came to the Pacific
Coast and went to Vancouver, Wash.,
.where they stayed a time and last
September came to Oregon City, and
secured a house at the corner of Sixth
and Madison streets, and here they
' lived as man and wife, not suspected
by their neighbors. Last Winter
there was born to them a child, who
died.
Vouk made the mistake of commun
icating with one of his acquaintances
in St. Cloud, mailing the letter in
Portland, and in some maner the let
ter fell into the hands of the author
ities, and his residence was discover
ed. Deputy Sheriff Eich was sent
after Mm and arrived here several
days ago and found that his man was
employed as a fireman for the Wil
lamette Pulp & Paper Company. He
quietly obtained his extradition pap
ers and with Sheriff Beatle effected
Vouk's arrest, upon a charge of
abandoning Ills children, which, Jn
Minnesota, is a crime, the penalty for
which it from 2 to 7 years in the pen
itentiary. Vouk says that he left
money with his family, and that his
children were not in destitute circum
stances. He acuses his wife of being
a mean woman, who spent his money
and threatened to throw hot coffeet
in his face. He took his arrest very
quietly.
OAK GROVE WANT8 NEW RATE.
Asks Railroad Commission, for .10
Cent Fare to Portland.
At a meeting of the Oak Grove Im
provement Association it was decided
to lay before the Eailroad Commission
a complaint setting forth that the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company is discriminating against
that section in the matter of fares. B.
Lee Paget, president of the associa
tion, . read correspondence that has
passed between himself and the com
pany and the Railroad Commission.
The railway company, through F. I.
Fuller, manager, denies that there is
any discrimination against Oak Grove,
or that the fare is too high. The
cash fare is 15 cents, and. the com
pany issues 20 tickets for $1.00 to Oak
Grove, but the tickets do not carry
transfers. It is Bet out in the reply
by Mr. Fuller that anyone living in
Oak Grove can pay 10 cents to the
city limits, and then by paying 5
cents can transfer to any point in the
city.
Mr. Paget read the reply of the rail
way, and then his own rejoinder, in
which he urged that there is discrim
ination and that the Oak Grove neigh
borhood is held back and its growth
retarded by the present fare and system.
The movement started last Febru
ary, when a committee of 13 called on
Mr. Fuller and asked for a cash rate
of 10 cents, with transfer privileges.
This request was not granted.
After the whole subject had been
gone over it was decided to carry the
matter ' before the Railroad Commis
sion. . The following committee was
appointed to prepare the complaint to
be filed before the Railroad Com
mission: B. Lee Paget, Charles Rls
ley. Dr. G. W. Parker, G. W. Myers
and F. H. Harris. The committee was
given power to act and to employ
counsel if necessary, a first appro
priation of $50 being authorized to
meet expenses, and more wlll'"be pro
vided If necessary.
It was suggested that the hearing
before the commission might be had
at the same time the Mllwaukie case
was heard so as to save time.

An early train killed a cow owned

the entrance to Canemah Park and
the pilot of the engine tossed the ani

Its body falling to the walk below.
The cow was still breathing at 7
o'clock but its misery and suffering
was ended later.

"We were clearly entitled to second
prize in the drill contest of Woodmen
teams at Seattle," said Major R. T.
Barbur Saturday morning. The Major
had just returned from Seattle, where
he had been attending the annual con
vention of Pacific Jurisdiction, Wood'
men of the World. He Is a regimen
tal officer of the Uniform Rank of
Woodmen and for that reason did not
participate in the drill, but he watch
ed proceedings keenly, and Is bitterly
disappointed over the failure of the
Willamette Falls organization to car
ry off the second prize of $200.
"Golden Gate Camp, of San Francis
co, was the first to drill," said Mr.
Barbur. "They had 28 men in line,
while under the rules they should
have been allowed only lfl men. Or
egon City came next and drilled ac
cording to regulations, and a lieuten
ant-colonel of the Washington Na
tional Guard, who was sitting next to
me, talked to an army officer on the
other side of him, and they commend
ed the work of our team. The lieu
tenant-colonel was pleased with the
drill and even asked me for my book,
stating that he desired to utilize some
of the movements in the Guard.
"San Francisco and Portland drilled
over the alloted time, and Webfoot
Camp gave a fine exhibition of fancy
drilling. Under the rules the sched
uled work was to have been executed
first, for 15 minutes, but Webfoot
Camp started on its fancy drills and
had not time for the regular move
ments, but received credit just the
same. The Los Angeles Camp had the
required number of men, but they
have been drilling all over the coun
try. The Berkeley team made a poor
showing.
"We have no objection to Portland
receiving the first prize of $300, for
they certainly made a fine appear
ance, but the action of the committee
on awards was peculiar. They seem
ed to be in doubt where to place the
second prize of $200 and the third
prize of $100, and did not want to
give all of them to Oregon, so they
appealed to Head Consul I. I. Boak,
who had no business to Interfere, but
upon his advice to divide the prize
money equally between Oregon and
California, the second and third prizes
were given to the camps of the south
ern state. This was a smooth thing
to do, as the election was to follow.
Captain M. D. Phillips, of our camp,
asked to be allowed to see the score
cards, but was told they were destroy
ed."
"Generally debilitated for years.

MRS. KING DROWNED.
Daughter of Mr. Snyder, of Redlands,
Fall Into Willamette.
Mrs. Floyd King, wife of a local
real estate dealer, fell into the Wil
lamette River from the houseboat in
Fulton in which the family have been
living during the Summer, and was
drowned. Her husband made the
discovery on reaching home at 7
o'clock Friday night. He found the
baby, 7 months old, crying in its
cradle and began a search for the
mother. He found her lying dead in
a few feet of water near the float.
How the accident happened will
never be known, as there were no eye
witnesses, it is supposed, nowever,
that Mrs. Kine leaned against a gate,
which gave way and precipitated her
into the water. When her husband
reached home, finding her missing,
he asked neighbors in another house
boat, but they had not heard the
struggle or any call for help, and it
is thought that Mrs. King fell in and
sank, and that her clothing caught on
a snag at the bottom holding her
there.
The first Intimation that Mrs. King
had been drowned was the fact that
the gate that was broken from its
fastenings was discovered in the
water nearby. The body was quickly
recovered by the aid of a boat hook.
Dr. Alva Walker was sent for and
came as fast as an automoble could
carry him, but found that the woman
had been dead at least an hour.
. Coroner Finley was notified and
sent deputies out to take charge of
the body. Mrs. King was to have
started on a vacation o trip to the
home of her mother in a few days.
She was but 19 years of age.
The funeral was held Sunday from
the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Snyder, t Redland at 2 o'clock.
The remains were Interred In the
Redland cemetery. A large number
of sorrowing friends and relatives
followed the body of the unfortunate
young woman to its last resting place,
and many beautiful floral tributes
were placed on the grave.
CHALLENGES NOBBLITT.
Fred Yohann Believes His Team Is
the Speedier.
Fred Yohann, of Macksbuhg, has
written the following self-explanatory
letter to Charles Nobblitt, who won
the prize in the Fourth of July parade
at Oregon City for the best driving
team. Speed -was not considered in
the awarding of the prize, but Mr.
Yohann wants a race. His letter follows:
'I beg permission to challenge my
driving team, designated as No. 22
In the parade at Oregon City on July
Fourth, 1907, against your driving
team, designated as No. 7, In the
same parade, for a one mile drive,
any time or place that will suit your
convenience, in not less than 10 days,
not over 30 days' notice, for $25. I
reserve the right to reject any or all
judges who may show any prejudice
or favor either way. Let me know
at once what you will do.

Mr. Nobblitt did not make reply.

A Woman Finds All Her Energy
Ambition Slipping Away.
Oregon City women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fall make life a b,urden. Back
ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
all tell of sick kidneys and warn you
of the stealthy approach of diabetes,
dropsy and Brlght's disease. Doan's
Kidney Pills permanently cure all
these disorders.
Mrs. B. Matchett, of Elyvllls, near
Oregon City, Ore., says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills relieved me of so much
misery and backache that I take
pleasure in recommending . them to
others. I had backache so bad that
I could not stoop or straighten with
out suffering severely. At times de
pressing headaches and annoyances
from the kidney secretions bothered
me. I procured Doan's Kidney Pills
at Huntley Bros, drug Store, and ob
tained relief from the first few doses
and in a short time not an ache or
other symptom remained. Doan's Kid
ney Pills are the best remedy of the
kind I ever used, and I wish every suf
ferer from kidney complaint or back
ache could know of them." For Bale
