Friends, Hubby Claims
in His Petition
She slapped his face and he wants
a divorce.
John E. Connelly claims, in his pe
tition for divorce, that his wife slap
ped his face when he really couldn't
see the slightest reason for it and re
cites that he never understood it to
be the wife's duty to slap her husband
whenever she happened to have a fit
of rage over something that he had
done or that she thought he had done.
False accusations relating to his al
leged association with other women,
a constant nagging, and a violent tem
per are some of the other charges that
he brings against Marie Connelly, his
wife, in his action for a decree of sep
aration. They were married at
Wayne, Penn., June 1906.
"Catch me if you can," was the chal
lenge that Ida Kirk threw out to Nate
Kirk when he protested against her
alleged association with men, accord
ing to the story he tells in a complaint
filed in the circuit court Monday. A
daughter, Hallie, 14 years of age, is
asked for by the complainant as well
as the divorce decree. They were
married November 13, 1896, at Craw
fordsville, Oregon.
Delia Overlin charges her husband,
William S. Overlin, with cruelty and
inhuman treatment and with frequent
exhibitions of a violent temper, as the
basis for the divorce which she asks
from the circuit court. They were
married October 21, 1912 at San Fran

Footsore and Weary,
Penitent Girl Comes
Home to Her Parents
After wandering from city to city
throughout the northwest, and spend
ing' her time working as a waitress in
a restaurant and dodging juvenile of
ficers, Gladys Curtis, just past her
eighteenth birday, returned to her
worried and fear-stricken parents
Sunday night, after more than one
year's silence and absence from home.
About a year ago Miss Curtis mat
a circus man, who happened to be the
city, and, although she saw him only
once, this short acquaintance lead to
the exchange of letters which resulted
in the seventeen year-old girl running
away from home.
It is said that the couple borrowed
a marriage certificate from a friend,
and, with this, they travelled from
Original "Hard
Luck" Men on
Way Home
Oregon City may not hold any rec
ords for size or for beauty, but three
of its citizens hold an unquestionable
record for pure, concertrated, double
strength hard luck.
Saturday evening three young men,
Theodore Marley, Gilbert Thomas ana
Robert Green, set out on three brand
new bicycles to spend Sunday fishing
on Clear Creek. The evening and the
morning of the next day were spent
with nothing unusually unlucky hap
pening. It was not until the trip
home was started that trouble broke
loose from all sides.
First it was Marley. The tire blew
out of his front wheel and he shoved
it all the 12 miles home. Then it was
Gilbert Thomas. His . lamp became
tangled up with the spokes of his
front wheel and the result was that
he had to waltz his bicycle 11 miles
back to town on its real wheel. Then
cams Bob Green. He started down
the road and also down a steep hill
when he hit a rock and went over the'
handle bars and down an embank
ment. There were three weary, and mad,
and dirty young men who trudged into
town Sunday evening. Three young
men who were going to pull all the
fish out of Clear Creek and who came
back with a sum total of five.

the man left, and the girl, fearing her
parents and the local juvenile officers,
was afraid to. return to her worried
parents.
She stayed inj Seattle for a part of
the time, where she eked out -a mis
erable existence as waitress in a res
taurant. It was here that her anxious
father and mother first heard of her.
She wrote her younger sister but al
ways omitted her address so that pur

girl, the pangs of home sickness, the

Class on Field
and Diamond
John Mulkey, Harry Hargraves, and
Hugh Gurdon have just returned from
a trip into southern Oregon in which
they not only conquered the terrors of
the mountains, but also humilated the
people of the cities. '" '
The three left twa weeks ago for a
hunting trip in Douglas county about
30 miles the other side of Roseburg,
and the party was successful to the
extent of 10 deer. But they did not
consider this enough glory, so on
their return to Roseburg they organ
ized a baseball team and beat the reg
ular town team of that place to the
tune of seven to two.

BOARD
REFUSES
TO MAKE
CHANGE
TIMBER COMPANIES' PROTESTS
ARE DISREGARDED IN THE
ASSESSMENT LIST
NEESE CRUISE STANDS AS MADE
Written Kicks Have no Influence
With Equalization Board and
the Valuations Are
Not Altered
The valuations of timber claims
were unchanged when the county
board of equalization Monday refused
to lower one cent the assessment that
had been made against the Weyer-
; haeuser and Oregon & California land
and timber companies and their in
terests in this county. -
Both concerns filed written pro
tests with the board and asked for a
reduction in the valuations that had
been made. The board upon inquiry
and examination of the records and
the results of the Neese cruise refus
ed to reduce the valuations and the
assessments were ordered to stand as
they were.
The property of the Weyerhaeuser
company in this county amounts to
20,099 acres at a valuation of $537,345
and that of the Oregon & California
company at $1,053,035 for 89,772 acres.
Few protests have been received by
the board this year and the time has
now passed in which they "may be
filed. The remaining days of the ses
sion will be devoted to a consideration
of those already in the hands of the
county clerk.
BURGLAR ROBS STORE

street in this city, was broken into
either Saturday or Sunday night and
a number of valuable hides were stol
en. Mr. Streibig has offered a reward
ot'j50 for the arrest of the guilty
parties. . - -
Boards were ripped off and the "fa
side of the building ramsacked in an
effort to find everything of any value.
The damage done to the building, how
ever, is slight compared to the cost of
the hides taken.
This is one of a series of robberies
that has extended for some time in
the past, and Mr. Streibig is determin
ed that the thief shall be eaught. To
this end he has offered a reward of
$50 for the capture of the burglar.

through the hand and bullets shriek
ed about the ears of a thousand citi
zens when several thousand cartridges

speed, A. L. Robacker and R. C. Park
er were nearly arrested by Chief

help of Mr. Parker.
They returned and had the fire un
der control before much damage was
done. Chief Shaw saw them go
through", the city at a break-neck
speed, but was unable to stop them,
so he sent Officer Mays to follow
them. When the latter found out the
cause of the hurry, he returned with
out his prospective prisoners.
BOOR TELLS MANY
THINGS OF
L
All aboard! Get ready for a trip to
the great Panama Canal.
It isn't a boat trip, nor Is It a trip
by train.
What then?
Why, nothing less than a step into
the front door of Panama, on through
the isthmus by easy stages, and out in
to the Pacific ocean without even
wetting the sole of a shoe.
How's it all done?
The Enterprise gives you the oppor
tunity through a beautiful big illus
trated book called "Panama and the
Canal in Picture and Prose." This
book tells you of the strange natives
of the Canal zone, their characteristics
and customs; also their costumes,
which are designed to show more of
their anatomy than is shown even in
polite circles of modern society; it
portrays the beauties of the jungle,
the floating islands, the flowers and
trees of this wonderful tropical coun
try. All of these features are describ
ed in beautiful word pictures, inter
mingled with "rare illustrations, many
of which are made from water-color
studies and reproduced in splendid full
pages in their natural colorings. -
This volume then becomes a source
of education to every ene who pos
sesses it. Everybody should know of
the wonders of the great canal and
its- surrounding territory. The entire
story is told in this magnificent book.
The Enterprise has arranged to pre
sent these volumes to readers as ex
plained In the Panama Certificate,
which is printed daily in these col
umns. Six of these certificates are re
quired, together with a small expense
amount to cover the mere itmes of
the cost of distribution. No such op
portunity was ever before offered to
get a volume of this character for "only
the amount o fthe expense involved
in the transaction.
RECORDER ABSENT;
MAYOR HOLDS COURT
Mayor Linn E, Jones, in the absence
of Recorder Livy Stipp from the city,
held the muncipal court session Mon
day morning and handed down sen
tences and fines in rapid fire succes
sion as the various offenders against
th city ordinances were brought be
fore him.
Realizing that there is a large
amount of street work to be done at
this time of year, the men were given
fines and were given fines and were
allowed to work them out on the
streets if they did not care to hand
over the money into the city treasury.
William J. Williams and O. Williams
each received $10 or five days; Chis
File and Russel Way, $5 each, Sam
Smith and John Daly $10 or five days
each. AH were arrested on drunk or
disorderly charges.
A headline says, "Spain Short of
Funds." But surely that is no news.
Fair, fairs and more fairs, for weeks
ahead now. Fine things, too.
Early fall rains will cause schoools
as well as other things to grow.
Of course pumpkin pies will be the
main feed at the Junction City pump
kin show.
Tip for the weather bureau: It's
usually safe to predict rain for state
fair week." .

GREATEST FAIR IN RECENT
YEARS TO HAVE LARGE

FARM AND LIVESTOCK FEATURES
Exhibits of Every Kind Are Coming
From All Parts to Canby
Grounds and Are Now
Ready for Opening
The jjext four days will be the chief
days of the year for Canby and Clack,
amas county, for during them; will be
held the seventh annual Clackamas
County fair. Everything at the big ex
hibition grounds is ready for the open
ing Wednesday morning, and all indi
cations point to one of the most suc
cessful and interesting - displays ever
staged. There are more and better ex
hibits already in place than at any
previous fair, and the few booths yet
to be filled will be of equal merit
with those already waiting for visitors.
Lots of Farm Produce. ,
The display of farm produce' this
year is surprising in its variety and
excellence, and gives an excellent idea
of the extreme fertility of the county
soil, and of its varid and profuse crops.
There has been much development of
agricultural land and products since
last year's fair, and the displays of
new crops and yields reflect this
growth most accurately. The many
cash prizes and valuable trophies that
are offered have stimulated farmers
and ranchers to make larger exhibits
than usual'., and the result is that the ,
fair will be a surprise even to those
who have believed heretofore that they
were familiar with the county's re
sources. Livestock Exhibits.
The livestock exhibits will show a
general-tendency toward the universal
adoption of pure-blooded stock, and
some excellent animals of all kinds
will be on view. The poultry division
is also much' larger this year than be
fore, and will contain many 'pens of
fine birds. In addition to this there
have been excellent entries for the
daily horse races; and the other ex
hibits and attractions are of the very
best. The fair, will be open Wednes
day, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
from 10 o'clock a. m .to 8:00 o'clock
p. m., and three bands will furnish
music throughout the sessions. , .
