TWICE TOLD TALE IS HEARD
Molalla Family Has Member Who Is
Charged with All the Small Crimes
Usually Attributed to Villians of
tho Farce-Comedy Suit is Filed
Mary Kline has insfftuted a suit
in the circuit court for divorce from
George E. Kline, and in the complaint
are listed a staggering number of"
charges which range from biting a
small and inoffensive calf on the nose,
to beating and choking his wife un
til she was almost insensible. The
couple have six children, and are res
idents of the Molalla district. The
matrimonial experience which the
wife is now trying to have called off,
is the second venture for the pair,
the first also winding up in the di
vorce courts after a trial of five
years. The divorce was granted in
1915, and the following year at Van
couver they were remarried, with
the same result. Among the variety
of mean things attributed to the hus
band, beside the two mentioned, is
an uncontrollable anger, which the
complaint says almost makes him in
sane, a habit of beating dumb ani
mals until he is exhausted by the
exertion of clubbing them, a mean
attitude toward his children, and the
habit of making them work on the
farm without good, wholesome food
to sustain them, and being denied all
the pleasures of childhood by their
tyrannical father, t I is claimed that
two of the older daughters, 17 and
15 respectively, left their home and
went to Portland to secure employ
ment, as they - could not stand the
homo life any longer. The husband
is chained by his wife mistreating
the children in many ways, and sel
fishness, greed, and impoliteness are
among the many terms used in the
complaint to describe the situation
for the court.
The wife asks the court for . the
sum of $75 for the care and educa
tion of their minor children, the cus
tody of whom she also requests, and
the further sum of $250 immediate
ly to pay for the costs of the suit
fit hand. She also lists the defen
dant's 1 properties, which are exten
sive, and asks for a just and equit
able portion thereof.
WESTERN GIRL SHOWS 'EM
HOW THEY QUALIFY HERE
"I've got red hair, I know how to
rough it, and I hope they send me
just as near the front lines as they
can!" -
Miss Rose Glass, of Seattle, Wash.,
a graduate of the University of
Washington, and a real Westerner,
gave these as her qualifications, just
before she left New York for France
where she will undertake educational
work for the Y. M. C. A.
- She has studied at Columbia and
at the University of California, she's
a member of a National Honor Soci
ety for Scholarship, she's just on the
point of taking her M. A., and she's
known as one of the best high-school
history teachers in the west. All
this may help, of course, but these
are the real qualifications for the
job, she says:
She has followed elk-trails through
the western mountains with the near
est road more than 60 miles away.
She has ridden horseback for 125
miles at a stretch. She has gotten
along on very little food for days
while on trail. - She has gone swim
ming in icy mountain streams. She
can paddle an Indian canoe as well
as she can dance, and can shoot as
well as she can play tennis.
"When I've always roughed it for
fun before, why shouldn't I do it now
that there's real need?" said Miss
Glass. "The Y. M. C. A. needs 250
women more every month in France,
and I want to be one of them. We're
proud to remember out home that one
of the two women who were killed
overseas in Y. M. C. A. work was a
Westerner Miss Marion Crandall,
of Alameda, Cal.
"There aren't any men in my fam
ily, so it's really up to me to go to
France. I've been teaching history,
and perhaps I may do the same thing
over there.. But I shall feel that
I'm making history, too, even when
I'm washing dishes."
LIQUOR PRESCRIPTION
NOT FREQUENT ENOUGH
Giving the names of H. E. Welch,
Abben Haskins, Gladys Epworthy
and Virginia Merle, an auto party
was . arrested Monday night by Pa
trolman Ed Surfus, charged with vi-
olating the prohibition law. In their
possession was a quart of brandy,
which Surfus confiscated. The mem
bers of the party were released upon
payment of $25 cash bail.
The quartet was arrested at 5th
and Main streets while one of the
men was in a restaurant getting a
lunch. The automobile carried two
licenses, Washington 137502 and Ore
gon 89013.
The liquor had been purchased at
Vancouver on Monday, from a pre
scription of a Vancouver physician,
whose name is in the possession of
Sheriff Wilson. On the label were
the words "take tablespoonful three
times a day if necessary."
