School Board Meeting Ends
Rough and Tumble Battle
DESERTION IS
ALLEGATION IN
DIVORCE SUIT
With every evidence of peace and
harmony, the school board of the
Clarke district, 12 miles southeast of
Oregon City, convened in regular meet
ing Friday afternoon. A half hour
later, if meager return from the front
line trenches are to be believed, the
school meeting broke up in a general
free-for-all, with Kev. W. H. Wettlau-
fer, clerk of tho district, bearing evi
dence of what must have proven a
thrilling encounter.
Warrants were issued from Justice
Slever' court Saturday noon charging
B. Sullivan and A. V. Buc.he, two mem
bers of tho board, with assault and bat
tery and they will be arraigned Mon
day. According to Rev. Wettlaufer's
tory he was assaulted by his fellow
member Mr. Sullivan following an
argument over the teacher' contract,
and before the smoke ot battle cleared
away, he had. been knocked from bl
chair and bruised and otherwise mal
treated by Messrs. Sullivan and Buche.
While the two had him on the floor
pummeling bim about In an undigni
fied manner, it is claimed that Mrs.
Wettlaufer, chairman of the school
board, came to her husband's assist
ance and finally the trio were separ
ated. The teacher, Miss Florence
Stromgren, who was present with the
board, made a strategic retreat, when
John William Stafford has filed a
desertion charge against Delia C.
Stafford and asks for a decree dis
solving the marriage contract. The
couple were married In Los Angeles
In 1910 and the desertion occurred
some three years latter according to
the charges In the complaint.
the battle assumed serious propor
tions, it Is said, and the other members
present maintained strict neutrality
during the encounter. In the exclt
ment the meeting broke up without
any official adjournment, and so to
all legal Intents anl purpose the mem
orable meeting of the hoard is still in
progress.
Officials intimate there has been bad
blood between Wettlaufer and Sullivan
for son.e time. Wettlaufer, who was
chosen clerk, after bitter fight last
fall, filed his proper bonds, which a
majority of the board refused to ap
prove for some reason or other. After
waiting thirty days tho majority mem
bers in tho feud, choose C. F. Bergman
as clerk. In the meantime the teach
er's salary and other district appro
priations have been held op pending
final adjustment of the situation.
With the outbreak of physical hos
tltles Friday, tho solution of tho mat
ter Is still further away than ever, and
probably mandamus proceedings will
be brought in the near future to com
pel approval of the bonds.
The parties are all well known resi
dents of the Clarkes country, and ReT.
Wettlaufer is pastor of the local
church In the district Ho claims to
have "turned the other cheek" when
ho was assaulted by the other mem
bers of the board, and did not try to
defend himself.

chased, W. S. Buckner a Marlon coun
ty farmer claims (5360.00 damages

sion ot the place at that time, and that
