VETERAN DIES
Is Unearthed
While Circuit Judge J. U. Camp
bell enjoys a happy vacation at the
sea shore, the complaints for divorce
continue to stack up here for him to
work on when he returns. Maud Tait
meyer charges Otto Taitineyer with a
number of things tending to disrupt
any home, and asks for a decree of
divorce and the custody of their min
or child, Helen, ased 7. They were
married in Portland, in 1910, says the
complaint, and the defendant in - the
action is charged with falsely accus
ing his wife of having improper as
sociations with other men.
Myrtle DeWaal wants a divorce!
from Case( DeWaal, to whom she was
married in Portland, in January, 1912.
The basis for the complaint is the
alleged infliction of cruel and in
human treatment, commencing soon
after they were married. The husband
is said to have cursed his spouse, and
to have stayed away from home. Un
able to stand his abuse, the wife says
she left him in March of this year,
and now wants a legal separation to
make the job complete.
Mary Jane- Meyers has instituted
divorce proceedings against Arthur A.
Meyers, who she was married to at
Monmouth, Polk county, in Septem
ber, 190S. "Quarrelsone,- unkind, abus
ive, ana exasperating" are the spe
cific charges against this husband,
and she further says that he once told
her: "If you don't like it here, you
can leave any time, the doors swing
outward r.s well as In." In February
of this year, the plaintiff In the action
says that he struck her, and so viol
ently abused her that she was forced
to go to her mother's house for protection.
While A. J. Bell was tearing down

CloBe to this shoe are wooden shoes
that are being manufactured by a
