WILL DROP DIVORCE SUIT
Asks Court for Separation From
Husband In Afternoon, but by
Mght Agrees to With
draw Proceedings.
DMertin hM- home In the Sheffield
apartments Saturday, her nunband aearcn
1nt the city lor her and offering a re
Svard for her discovery on Sunday, filing
a auit for divorce Monday, returning
home Monday night and agreeing to
withdraw divorce proceedings today
these are the scenes In the little do
mestic comedy, or tragedy rather, of
Mrs. Charlotte Hoover and her husband.
U J. Hoover. The husband said last
night that the suit would be quashed
today and that the disagreeable incident
was over.
"My wife has been nervous and 111."
said Mr. Hoover last night, "and this
condition caused her to leave home and
bring this suit for divorce. She haa come
back home and has agreed to-drop the
whole thing. She had no cause to com
plain of her treatment and had she not
been ill she would not have done such
a thing."
The complaint In the divorce case filed
by Mrs. Hoover's attorneys alleges cruel
and inhuman treatment and was filed
shortly after noon yesterday. The plaln
tix represented that life with Hoover
had become an unbearable burden be
cause of his 111 treatment of her and that
she 6?slred the marital bonds severed.
The happy outcome of the Hoovers'
troubles clears up what was believed to
be the mysterious disappearance of the
woman, who left home wearing six dia
mond rings and carrying almost 1000 in
money. Instead of meeting with violence
from thieves, as was feared, or trying
to commit suicide because of her trou
bles, real or Imagined, Mrs. Hoover went
to the home of a friend in the city Sat
urday afternoon and remained there that
night. Sunday Mr. Hoover offered $50
for news of his wife, but the city, police
could not earn the reward.
Yesterday Hoover was served with the
papers in his wife's divorce action and
he forthwith hunted up her attorneys

He then pleaded with her to come back
home, which she did. She will, he says,
stop the divorce proceedings this morning.

FULLS UNDER TRAIN
Trestle on East Third Col
lapses With Dirt Cars.
TWO ARE HURT IN WRECK
Conductor Jumps and Saves His
Iiife, "While Motorman Is Thrown
From Box Accident Due to.
Flimsy Timber Work.
More than 100 feet of trestle" suddenly
collapsed and precipitated an entire train
of seven loaded cars of dirt a distance
of 18 feet into the gully yesterday after
noon about 4 o'clock, on East Third
street, between East Washington and
East Alder streets. At this point the
Pacific Bridge Company is making a fill
extending on East Third street from
East Morrison street to East Washington
street. For this purpose a temporary
trestle has been erected, on which trains
are being hauled with dirt and gravel.
On the loaded train when it fell were
Jonas Young, motorman, of 781 Savier
street, and W. W. Witherbe, of 800
Lowell street, Montavilla. ' Both are em
ployes of the Pacific Bridge Company.
Loaded trains had passed over the same
spot where the accident occurred many
times during the day without developing
the fact that the structure was unsafe.
Motorman Toung backed his train in
from East Morrison Btreet, he being at
the rear end of the train and Conductor
Witherbe being at the front. When they
reached the trestle between Bast Wash
ington and East Alder streets, at a point
little more than half way across, the tim
bers instantly and without any warning
cracks or creaks toppled over and the
train and its crew of two were hurled into
the gulch. Witherbe, being out on an
open car, saw his danger before the tons
of earth and metal struck the ground and
jumped. His action no doubt saved his
Ufa. tar Dortiaa of the train where
he had been riding was telescoped into
a mass of wreckage when it struck. He
escaped with a few bruises and a bad
wrench to one of his legs. He was con
veyed to his home.
Young, however, was not quite so lucky.
Hto duty as motorman confined him in a
little box-like inclosure on the motor car,
and he was unable to get. out in time to
Jump. He was thrown out through the
doorway to his work box and struck his
head on the sill as he went flying through
the air. He landed on a pile of dirt out
side without further injury. His wound
In the head proved to be a serious one,
and he was taken to Dr. Alan Welch
Smith In the Red Cross ambulance. After
his wound was dressed he was also re
moved to bis home.
Some of the cars in falling broke their
connecting pins and turned a somersault
in the descent, while others turned turtle.
The damage to the cars and the trestle
work will probably amount to J1000. The
accident was due to the flimsy construc
tion of the timber work. Those in charge
of the work for the, bridge company said
that the large piling suporting the track
had merely been stood on end and had not
been permanently fastened, because it
was planned to fill in about these sup
ports at once. Instead of making the fill
at once, however, it was used for many
trips where the loaded cars bore great
weight. i

Tacoma Judge Rules It Is Unlawful
to Sell Liquor Without License.
TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 24. (Special.)
"A mighty thirst" will reign In the prom
inent clubs In and about the city for
some time to come. Judge Reid today
overruled the demurrers filed by the
clubs to the informations filed against
them by the Prosecuting Attorney. This
means that the clubs will either have to
stop selling liquor or pay a license fee
every year of J1O00, and the amount of in
toxicants sold by - the clubs does not
amount to nearly enough to enable them
to pay this fee. The clubs affected are
the Union Club. University Club, Com
mercial Club, Country Club and the Elks
Lodge. The bars have been maintained as
a convenience for members.

urday afternoon, when the members of
