' - JACOB GROSSMILLER AND FAMILY. COMPLAINTS INCREASE Conjugal Relations Prove Distasteful to Many Couples The harvest season is upon us, not only in the verdant fields of our pro ductive farms, but in the divorce mill, which is destined to work over-time in turning out the "unmarried" product from the married couples that are thrust into it by fate, abuse and sev eral other causes. Louis L. McGowan threw a biscuit and his wife baked it herself a- cross the table at Blanche McGowan, to whom he was married at Pinkley ville, 111., on March 16, 1912. The bis cuit hit the lady in the case, of course, and so greatly displeased her that she filed suit to rid herself of the "biscuit shooting" husband. Not only that, says the complaint, but McGowan slapped his wife, threatened her life and that of her mother. But McGow an had a regular mother-in-law. The latter lady, not fearful for her life at the hands of her daughter's spouse, relieved him of the weapon which he brandished. Mrs. McGowan left her husband's home, taking a 2 year- old baby boy with her, on August 12 of last year. She asks for the custo dy of the child. Lewis McKinnis and Nellie McKin- nis were married at Leadville, Colo., in March, 1914. She left the bed and board of McKinnis a short month lat er. McKinnis filed suit to separate himself from the lady. A baby girl and four years of mar ried life were not sufficiently tight bonds to hold Charles II. Saunders at home and he deserted on April 18, 1912, four years after he had been married at Portland. The child is now five years old and the mother asks its custody. She charges cruel ty and non-support. Vancouver turns out a bunch of food for the divorce mill. Some of it never arrives, but one of these Wash ington contracts came into court this week when Roberta Deetz asked for a divorce from Elmer Deetz, to whom she was married at Vanvouver on Jan uary 23, 1915. He wouldn't let her telephone to her parents and later told her to go to them and "not come back," says the complaint. She asks that her maiden mime, Roberta Elkins, be restored to her. Decrees signed by Judge Campbell within the past week separate Frances M. Anderson from John P. Anderson; Olive M. Brewster from Walt. R. Brewster, the former getting the cus tody of a child; Dollie Massey and William A. Masey, the former getting custody of a child and $15 alimony monthly; A. E. Skinner from Wil liam D. Skinner.

Stranger By ALAN HINSDALE Lulgl Curruno, u young ofllcer In the Italian army, was so expert with the foil that he was detailed tor duty at tlio Praetorian camp near Rome as a teacher of fencing. Lulgl loved und wiih beloved by Bl anco Cellini, u younger iluughtur of a nobleman. The Celllnls were of better blood than the Canuiun. but there woro a number of girls In the family to be married off, und on that account Lulgl was accepted as a su'tor for Blanea's bund. Her father wus dead, and her brother, KlrurJo, wus the ac knowledged head of the family. Not long after the betrothal between Lulgl and Bin nca Jose IIerre;a came to Rome from Madrid. On aroouut of his wealth he created quite a sensation in society at the capital. 'When he saw Blanca bo straightway fell In love with her and made application for her to her brother. He wns informed that the girl was engaged, but he de termined to have her In any event. Rlcardo was always In want of money and found a ready lender in Ilerrera. In this way the latter placed the for mer so heavily In debt to him that he found little difficulty In forcing him to enter Into a plot with himself to get rid of Lulgl. Between them they work ed up a case aguhiBt Lulgl of complici ty In a conspiracy that was unearthed about that time to dethrone the king of Italy and declare a republic. Their written evidence was forged, and their principal witness was paid a large sum for his testimony. But Lulgl was not able to prove tills. lie was de graded from lils rank In the ariiiy and Imprisoned In a fortress for a term of years. Since Blanca could not marry the man Bhe loved, she was finally persuaded to wed the Spaniard, who carried her away to Madrid. A dozen years pnssed. One day a man with a white beard and hair, whoso other features indicated that he was prematurely old, appeared In Rome. A man ntimod Rodrlgo Sanci, a man of good family, but whose pov erty had prevented his taking his place in society, wns sitting at a res taurant table on the sidewalk in the Tluzza Colonnn, when the white hnlred stranger passed htm and stared nt him. Sand naturally returned the sture. The strungcr asked why ho was thus stared at. Sanel replied by asking a like question. The stranger, taking up a wineglass from the table before Band, threw the contents In the hit ter's face. The next morning two parties came together In a desolate place on the Campagna. Rnnd und the stranger fought with swords usod by officers of the tinny, and Band was killed. The skill displayed by the stranger wns considered remarkable. Within a few days after this affair Rlcardo Cellini wns sitting with some friends In the rinclun gardens when a man with white hnlr and beard ap proached him und said: "Good afternoon, Slgnor Cellini." "You have the advantage of me, slgnor," replied Rlcardo, regarding the other curiously. "But I know you, and I know you to be a liar and a coward.!' Cellini flushed and half started up, as If to attack his accuser. VDo not exert yourself here among your friends. If you havo any mes sage for me It will reach me nt No. - Via Nntlonule." With that the stranger withdrew. It wns impossible for Cellini to re tain his soclnl position In face of such n n Insult without resenting It, and he sent u friend to negotiate with the white haired stranger. The latter re fused to give his nnnip, and hnd It not been for the gravity of the chnrge on this account Cellini would not have pressed the mutter. There being no choice for him, he agreed to n meeting nt a point on the Jnnlculiini hill nbove St. Peter's. Ho fell before tho steel point of his adversary. Tho stranger wns now recognized as tho man who bad killed Rodrlgo Sand, and peoplo begnn to wonder who would bo tho next victim nf this re markable fencer. But after the Inst duel he disappeared and never wns seen again In Rome. Jose Ilerrera nt this time wns a widower. Whether his wife hnd learn ed of the" way by which he obtained possession of her or on account of his cruelty to her, she died within n few years after their marriage. One day Ilerrera waB walking on one of the streets of Madrid when n man with white hair and beard obstructed his pnth. IleiTern shifted nslde; the white hnlred man did tho snme. "Get out of my wny!" snld Ilerrern to him. "I wns nnco in your way, and you forced me out of It, and that, too, by dishonorable means. This time you enn force mo to lot you pass In one wny only." "What Is that?" "Promise to meet me tomorrow morning at sunrise nt the spot usually selected for tho settlement of difficul ties between gcntlenipn and you can puss." "Who nre you?" "I will tell you after It lias been de cided which of us Is to die." By this time n number of persons hnd collected, among them several who knew Ilerrera. Ho agreed to the meet ing and the next morning received bis quietus nt the hands of the unknown strn utter. As he was dying his opponent bent ver 1 1 1 1 ii and snld: "I am Lulgl Carrnno."

CHASE PORKER Picnickers from Portland Can't Catch Greased Swine It is reported that groups of farm ers and Gladstone residents have been in pursuit of a festive pig this week. When the pig escaped from Glad stone park, terrified as it was by the clamor and din of the Union Meat company picnic, it was thickly coated with grease. So slimy was it, in fact, that after smudging the clothing of half a hundred would-be captors, it slid through the park fence and dis appeared in the offing. Its shrill squeal was heard rever berating through the forest, but after chasing it two miles, A. C. Black said the sole missing link in the 100 per cent availability of pigs in general had escaped, along with the pig in particular. The picnic was attendee", by nearly 1500 people, including employes of the meat company and members of their families. The "fats" won the morn ing ball game from the "leans" and races of various kinds featured the afternoon. The sensational escape of the greas ed pig was the finale of the day's sports.
