OREGON CITY, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1907.
LOTTERY OF
MARRIAGE
W. H. Sanford Didn't Draw
a Blank But Probably
Wishes He Had
THREE FILED TUESDAY
More Divorce Suite Started By M It-
mated Couplee May Bowen
Cruelly Beaten She
Says.
V. H. Sanford, according to the
complaint in the divorce suit filed by
his attorneys, Dinilck & Dimlck,
would have been better off If he had
drawn a blank in the matrimonial lot
tery, rather than a prize that, whatev
er else may be said against her, is
surely not a blank. However she is one
who makes frequent use of language,
according to his story, that can only
be indicated in a daily paper by blank
lines, owing to a rule of the postof
fice depVtment relating to the trans
mission of obscene or indecent matter
through the mails.
This wife's name is Laura B. San
ford and she and the plaintiff were
unhappily married in Oregon City,
Sept. 20, 1904, and she has since that
date led him a merry dance. W. H.
spends his working hours on steam
boats as pilot, mate, etc., and his leis
ure hours seeking his wife among the
demi-monde of the fair but wicked
city of Portland. Why he searches
for her one cannot understand', for
when he meets her she greets him
with a torrent of obscene curses that
would make a country corner loafer
turn green with envy. j
Sanford says she ran a pretended
rooming house at 401 1-2 Morrison
street In 1903, that was In reality a
sporting house. She abandoned the
plaintiff at Sacramento, Cal., Oct. 15,
1903, and ha3 since continued to live
apart from him. She clings like an
eel to a rock to life insurance policies
on his life for $3000, and he wants
them cancelled, intimating they pre
r -Lt so big a temptation to her that
iis life i3 in danger.
HUSBAND EARNS $250
GIVES WIFE NOTHING.
Caroline Jones asks for divorce
from Frederick N. Jones on grounds
of desertion. They were married at
Portland, Nov. 21, 1901, and she says
he deserted her on Dec. 5, 1905, since
which time she had to support' herself
and their child, a boy now four years
of age. She wants the custody of the
'child, the right to resume her maid
en name, Caroline Griffith, and an or
der compelling her husband pay a
suitable sum toward the maintenance
of the child. The husband earns from
f 150 to $250 a month, the complaint
states.
Blackened Her Eyes.
May Bowen charges that her hus-
ban, J. J. Bowen, commenced to abuse
her shortly after they were married
at Salt Lake, Utah, striking her in the
face and on the body; that on Nov.
10, 1900, he beat her with his fist un
til her eyes were blackened. He curs
ed her, she says, and called her a
"whore," which he knew was untrue.
She professes to be in bodily fear of
Urn but states that she has never for
given or condoned any of his offenses.
She is a resident of Clackamas county,
prays for a divorce and to be allowed
to .resume her maiden name, May
Courtney. There are no children. '
Marriage Licenses.
May 13. Guasie Kelm and Frank E.
Smith.
ADJUDGED INSANE.
Mrs. Nellie Blanchard Knox of near
Clackamas station, aged 30, brought to
Oregon City Monday evening, was ad
judged insane and committed to the
state asylum. She was taken to Sa
lvia Monday night. The cause of her
affliction is hereditary and her con
dition was truly pitable.
MAKING RAILWAY
TIES ON THE SANDY
Fourteen miles south of the mouth
of the Sandy river, railway ties are
dropping into the swift current of the
stream at the rate of one every few
seconds from the flume that leads
back to the Fox saw mill, formerly
the I'rainhaH mill plant. The tie3 are
lioated down the Sandy river to Trout
dale, where they are caught In a boom
and scooped out of the water by means
of an automatic machine, whose long
arms pick them up and whisk them
up the Incline to the bank, where they
are piled up awaiting shipment to all
sections of the country.
Seventy thousand ties will be made
at the Pox sawmill this season. Four
other mills, too, are working along
the Sandy, turning out ties, which will
be floated down to Troutdale for ship
ment. It is estimated that more than
250,000 ties will be cut on the Sandy
within the next few months. All bear
the mark of thojr makers, so they can
be segregated at the end of the river
voyage. Some will be stranded on the
shallows and along the banks of the
river, but men will follow them from
the sawmills and start them anew on
their voyage to Troutdale. Few, If
any, will be lost.
The whole country along the Sandy
river, formerly heavily timbered, is
being rapidly denuded of its forest
growth by the sawmills cutting rail
road ties. Every tree that can be
turned Into ties is being cut for some
one of the five sawmills along the riv
er. The value of the railway ties Is
considerable, the railroads paying
about 50 cents each for them. The
land from which the timber la being
cut Is well suited for agriculture and
will be valuable when cleared.
SHERMAN INVITED
FOR DECORATION DAY
Although two joint meetings of
Meade post, G. A. R., and Mead corps,

tion day arrangements, nothing has
been definitely settled for the day.

gram, Mrs. George A. Harding.
WHO STOLE THE NETS?
Sunday afternoon Nick Story, a
well known fisherman had two of his
largest set nets stolen from him. Some
of the fishermen are of the opinion
that the nets were stolen by some
of the Portland fishing parties who
have been trolling near the falls for
the last week, but Mr. Storey thinks
that some of his friends are trying to
play a trick on him. He says that If
the nets are returned to him, he will
not prosecute the guilty parties.
