HIS LIFE IN DANGER.
Maud M. has been boss with a big
B of the Schmitt household according
to the confession of John revealed In
his complaint In the suit for divorce
filed In the circuit court, Friday.
Mandle has not only been boss, but
Inclined to be high lord executioner
as well, avers John, for he says she
has at divers and sundry times threat
ened and even tried to kill him. Her
thirst fur his gore was so Intense that
she was utterly Indifferent to the I
weapon with which to tap the red
fluid. Mr. Schmitt says she on Janu
ary 29, 1907, threatened to kill him by
shooting, and on Feb. 24, 1907, she
threatened to kill him with a razor.
Scissors were another weapon she
used. Finally she chased him from
his happy home says John, on March
8 last, telling him to "get out and
never eomo back," at the same time
saying his mother was no gentleman,
or she used a Dowery expression not
heard In iKilite society or printed In
the columns of a home newspaper.
Swearing was her long suit, accord
ing to poor, abused John, and if what
he says In the complaint Is true, Cap
tain Kidd would have been shocked to
hear, and a steamboat mate would
have thrown up his job.
John and Maude were married at
Vancouver, Oct. 1, 1S9S, but he says
he has had enough and wants the
court to stop the fight.

JURY RETURNED
DIVIDED VERDICT
The Jury In tho case of Mrs. I!at
dorf vs. Oregon City and five council
men, Messrs. Knapp, Iirandt, Straight,
Williams, and Justin, returned a ver
dict In favor of the plaintiff and
against the city, assessing her dam
ages at S55; but against the plain
tiff and In favor of the five council
men. The case will be appealed by the
city, says City Attorney J. U. Camp
bell.
The Jury retired at 4:15 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon. Three-quarters of
an hour later the Jury asked for the
evidence of former street Superintend
ent Oreen, and at 10 p. m., reported
Its verdict as above stated.
This was the third trial of the case,
both times before the Jury failing to
reach a verdict. The case baa been
one of considerable local Interest,
mainly because of the attempt to hold
the members of council personally li
able for the Injuries she received In
a fall on a defective sidewalk.
The city charter expressly exempts
the city from damages due to defec
tive streets and sidewalks and also
city officers unless they wero notified
of the dangerous condition of the
walk and failed to have the same re
paired. The supreme court has decided In
several cases the exemptions are le
gal, and the city attorney Is therefore
confident that the city will win If
the case Is appealed.
The Jury s verdict releases the
councllmen from all liability In this
case.

The petition for fixing the rate of
toll recites that the distance from the
western terminus of the road to Mt.
Hood and the cost of construction
represents one-half of the cost of con
struction of the thoroughfare and is
about one-half .the distance In length
of the whole road and is more expen
sive to operate and maintain. The rate
of toll from the western terminus to
points in the vicinity of Mt. Hood
shall be one full toll for the round
trip. The company says It Is a hard
ship to maintain the bridge over Sal
mon river and its road from Salmon
river to the toll gate for the accom
modation of tourists and others with
out compensation. The distance from
the western terminus to the toll road
Is 10 miles.
MANY FROM THE EAST.
All trains from the East rolled into
Portland Friday, Saturday and Sun
day in three and four sections, so
great was the travel the last days of
the colonist rates. Every coach and
sleeper was filled with settlers for
Oregon. Chicago train due In Port
land Saturday morning was In four
sections, the last section not arriving
until late Saturday night The heavy
travel Is shown by the fact that the
third and fourth sections were com
posed wholly of standard Pullmans,
the supply of tourist sleepers being
dfhausted before the- train left Chi;
cago.
