Sophie Cadulx against Peter Upde

The grounds for the action Is cruel
nnd Inhuman treatment and non-support.
The first marriage wob at Port
lnnd, January 4, 1909, under the name
of Cadiux and the second at Chicago,
December 30, 1912.
HUSBAND SUES
Hon xi . urounas or cruei ana innuman u
nf .1.1 M'-and.Mr-David L. Jones, iment. They were married April
or this city, a daughter, August 9. 1914.
Docause she would associate with
other men and thn show him their
pictures and tell him how she loved
them, Danford Lloyd believes that ho
is entitled to a divorce from Nellie
Lloyd and filed a suit In the circuit
court here Friday on the general
grounds of cruel and Inhuman treat-
23.
NEW ORGANIZATION PLANNED
What is considered to be one of the
most Important movements ever uuder
taken in the northwest states of Ore
gon, Washington, Montana and Idaho
will be the attempt at Portland on Sep-
tenioer in to organize the ennners and
by-product plants of the four states
Into one groat, selling agency. The
proposed plan closely follows the lines
of the Noth Pacific Fruit Distributors.
If the organization Bliall be completed
It will have its own selling agents un
der salary.
It has boon conceded Hint the faluro
of most small canneries of past years
has been due to the heavy cost of mar
keting Its finished product. Oftlmes
this important matter has been in the
hands of unskilled men. The new or
ganization proposes to ellmlnato those
losses by employing only skilled men
in the soiling gnme. In his way the
cannery pnys only tho actual cost of
the marketing.
SECOND MARRIAGE FAILURE
A mnrrtage, a divorce, and a second
marriage have preceded the suit which
Mrs. Laura ltelle Helms has fllod
against Archie Helms in the circuit
court. They were married first In
Portland, July 24, 1908; divorced by
Judge Williams Gntens of that city, re
married In April 1912. The wife
charges cruel and Inhuman treatment.
Other suits filed Saturday are: John
Rossotto against Mary Kossetto,
charges drunkeness and cruel and In
human treatment; and C. D. Shook
against Katharine Shook, charge do
sertton.
Continual brooding over the Euro
pean war caused the insanity of a llel
glan who was brought to Oregon City
lute Saturday night and taken to the
asylum after an examination Monday.
The mnn 1b violent and. although
weighs not more than 110 pounds, re
quired six men to hold him. His name
nnd age are not known. Sheriff Mass
took and active port in subduelng the
mnn and in the effort to control the
man lost his watch fob. The fob is
an elk's tooth and bears the initials
of Sheriff Mass, E. T. M., and the num
ber of the local Elks' lodge on its back.
RIDER IS HIT
Mrs. Charles Rolllngor, or this city,
was Injured Monday night when a rock
thrown from the yard of Drown'B
schoolhouse struck her on the sldo of
the head as she was coming to Oregon
City from Cnnby in an automobile. In
the machine with her were Dr. and
Mrs. L. G. Ice and two children.
The car wns traveling at a slow rate
of speed along the dark county road
when the rock struck Mrs. llolllngter,
giving her no chance to dodge the
mlssle.
GUINIP TURNED LOOSE
Aaron Gulnlp, who was arrested lust
week at his home on the Abernothy
after he threatened (o shoot up the
neighborhood during a drunken spell,
was turned loose from the city Jail
Monday.
WORKER HURT
An employee of the Hawley Pulp &
Paper company, John Hutchinson, wns
badly bruised late Saturday night
while working in the mill although no
bones were broken. He was taken to
the office of Dr. M. C. Strickland who
dressed the Injuries.
GOES CRAZY OVER WAR
Too much thought on the European
was wns the cause of the intanity of
an unknown man who was brought to
Oregon City late Saturday night from
Oswego by Deputy Sheriff Mi'es. He is
a foreigner and raves continually, at
times in halt broken English, about
the conflict across tho ocean.
EATON RESIGNS
Clarence L. Eaton, who was recently
elected secretary of the Republican
county central committee has resigned
and a meeting of the executive commit
tee will be held Friday to fill the vacancy.
From development In (ho Dernier
raa Ihuradar. Sheriff Maa and Art
Ing Dl.iri'-t Attorney Hlrk are now uf
Ih opinion ibal Mr. Ilrrnler la not
respoii.lhle for Ihe Injuries which her
h 'I. ha nd haa sustained and thai Mr.
IWiib-r fell through the treatle where
lb blood spots were found.
Hhertff Mae and Attorney Hick
pent a large part of Ihe afternoon at
Ihe bedalde of Mr. Ilernler In fit. Vin
cent' hospital, I'ortland, and attempt
ed lo aeruro statement from tho In
jured man w hen ho (bowed signs of a
rallyi Tho only reply which ha would
make when naked how ho waa Injured
waa that ho fell from an apple tree.
The officials explain thla by saying
that ilernler apent Tueaday afternoon
near the apple trees In bis yard and
picked some of the fruit.
Mrs. Samite's Story Btllevod.
Mr. Ilernler wa also examined and
the stuck to the aame tory which sho
told the day after her husband was in
Jured. The only additional Infoma-
tlnn which could be secured wa that
Mr. Ilernler had ben drinking Tues
day night. The fact that Mr. Ilernler
withstood the examination a well as
he did la uaed by tbe officials to
argue (hat her story Is tho truth.
Sheriff Masa with Attorney Hick
made a thorough search of the house
Thursday morning but all that was
found wa a few drops of blood lead
Ing from tho side door of the houie to
(ho lounge, where Mr. Dernier says
ahe found ber huaband. Chief of Po
lice Shaw found a small ploco of IVer
nler's pipe stem under the trestle near
the place where tho pipe was found.
Bloody Print Found.
Another discovery which, although
It may not have any direct bearing on
the case. Is probably Important, la tho
print of a bloody hand on a telephone
pole several hundred feet beyond th
trestle. Sheriff Mass is of the opinion
that when Ilernler he climbed back
upon the track was confused and In n
attempt to walk home walked in th
other direction. He might have wan
dered through tbe brush and along (he
track for hours, according to this the
ory before be even began to make that
blood-marked trail to his home.
Dr. Strickland was taken to the
scene of the tragedy Thursday after
noon and with Sheriff Mass went over
(he ground thoroughly. Dr. Strickland
was the first physician to see tbe in
jured man and is tbe one who dressed
his wounds. He believes that It Der
nier did find his way borne It was
through iustlnct alone. Dr. Strlck
land believes that a man Injured as
was Ilernler could hardly have walked
a quarter of a mile down the track,
across the first trestle, and to the Der
nier home.
Flaw Found.
The only flaw In the belief that Der
nier sustained his Injuries by falling
through the trestle Is the statement of
Dr. Sternberg, who declares that It
would have been Impossible for a man
Injured as was Dernier to walk a quar
ter of a mile. Dr. Sternberg further
declares that the wound was Inflicted
with a blunt instrument and that It Is
probable that two blows were struck.
The physician declares that within five
minutes after the injury was inflicted.
Dernier was "as blind as a bat" and
consequently could not have been able
to have walked the distance from the ,
trestle to his home.
The story of Mrs. Dernier coincides
with the theory of the officials. She
went to bed before her husband, she
says, and did not notice his absence un
til about 3 o'clock in the morning. She
heard a monn and went down stairs,
finding him on a couch in the living
room. His head was on a paper, sho
says, and his hands and face wer9
covered with blood. She bathed his
head and hands, first with cold water
and then with warm water. A few
minutes after 6 o'clock she called in
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Surber, neighbors,
and shortly after Dr. Strickland came.
People Talk Case.
The people of Oregon City hove
turned detectives and debators and on
every street corner there are groups
of men and women, talking the Der
nier "mystery." Interest in the Euro
pean situation has been followed by a
deeper Interest In the Injuries which
have been inflicted on Charles Per
nier, and every new development is
watched with the keenest interest.
All day long a small crowd was In
front of the Bernler home, although
Mrs. Bernler Is at tho home of her son
lu Portland at the present time. The
trestle over which some claim that Ber
nler took his headlong plunge to the
rocks 16 feet below, has attracted
scores who walk the quarter of a mile
down the track to view the spots of
blood.

ACCLIMATED SEED IS
SECRETARY FREYTAG EXPLAINS
HOW 12-FOOT CORN IS
GROWN
Secretary O. E. Freytag of the Ore
gon City Commercial club is proudly
displaying several stocks of corn,
sanding 12 feet above the floor with
ears in proportion to prove that Ore
gon is a corn growing state equal to
the best In the union.
The giant corn came from the place
of Harvey E. Cross of Gladstone, where
he has a field of corn of the same size.
The corn will be taken to the Clacka
mas County fair at Canby next month
and then to the state fair at Salem.
Secretary Freytag declares that such
corn can be grown almost any place in
the state and says that only a little
common sense mixed with farming will
enable every producer to gather larger
crops. The mistake of the Oregon
corn-grower Is In picking his seed,"
said Mr. Feytag. "Seed which has
been acclimated to Oregon should be
used and not eastern seed. Mr. Cross
was able to grow this corn by using
a variety of seed which has been In
Oregon for years. He did not plant
his corn extremely early so that it
could gain its great size but in the reg
ular time."
