CAVEMAN LOVER IS HELD
XSD1XX BRIDE SATS HTJSBAXD
CHOKED AXD BEAT HER.
Romance of Far Kortb. "With Wild
Alaskan Setting Is Told in
Judge Rossman's Court.
Romance of the far north "where
the tang of the cold makes blood
thick and passions rude as that of the
wolf, woven into the story of the
wooing and winning of an Indian
bride. - a graduate of the Chemawa
Indian training school, was told in
municipal court yesterday when
Rudolph Swarowsky, 834 Missouri
avenue, appeared to answer to a
charge of threatening to kill his
wife, Nellie Swarowsky.
Swarowsky was held to answer to
the grand jury after he had admitted
that he had choked his dusky bride
or three months, and after she had
Testified that he had threatened to
kill her and on numerous occasions
had given vent to his caveman style
of caressing by grabbing a knife or
sticking a 30-30 Winchester under her
nose.
Imagery and action such as a Rex
Beach or a Robert Service might have
envied was embodied in the tale told
by the two of the little home at Cor
dova, the home which was sold by the
girl for a paltry $250 when they left
for the "outside."
There was another man who had an
attraction for his bride Swarowsky
said, and it was against this that he
fought. When he was at work at the
blacksmith shop, or building his boat,
he was tormented by the apprehen
sion that his wife was meeting this
other man clandestinely on her way
for the mail. So they broke up the
little home and left this sinister In
fluence behind and came to Portland,
where he got a position in a black
smith shop.
The trouble started again when Mrs.
Swarowsky wrote letters to her rela
tives in Alaska last Tuesday. Swarow
sky became angered, choked and beat
his wife and told her he would kill
her, she said. Not content with this
she said he knocked down the 19-months-old
baby, a child of her
former husband.
"I have never done anything to
him," she said. "I have always tried
to please him. Just because I am a
half breed he calls me part Indian
and tries to take advantage of me."
Swarowsky, who said he was an
Austrian, ' born in Vienna, but had
served four years in the United States
marines, told his story to the judge
in a low hurried voice. J
"She has made a nervous wreck out I
or me, he said. "I love her and
would have died for her any day.' And
the other night she laughed in my
face while I was sitting there suf
fering. I chokad her I think."
Swarowsky said after the trouble
last Tuesday he made up his mind
to go away and leave her, but that
he later decided to stay on account of
their unborn child.
"From what you have told me you
are either going to kill your wife or
yourself and so I can d"o nothing more
than hold you for investigation by
the grand jury," said Judge Rossman.
men aro willing to go back on the iob
and remain there, giving an honest
aay s work for a good day s pay. ac
cording to George A. Rubedaw. man
ager of the Rupp-Holland Lumber
company.
The reason for the walkout, he
claims, was not the increase of 25
cents a day in the price of board, but
the desire of the men to come to Spo
kane and demand the release of I. W,
W. prisoners here and the withdraw
al of United States troops from Rus
sia and Siberia.
w hen the board was raised no pro
test was made and nothing said until
an agitator appeared and stirred up
discontent among the men. Many of
them are willing to go back to work
now, according to Mr. Rubedaw, but
are prevented by I. W. w. pickets.
SPE1ER TANGLE CLEARED
Alimony Payment to First Wife
Legalizes Second Marriage.
Agreement of David Speier to pay
alimony of $50 a month to Mrs. Sophia
Speier, from whom he received a
divorce without contest while she
was incarcerated in the asylum at
Salem, led Presiding Judge Gatens
to legalize his marriage to Mrs. Sarah
speier yesterday, by revocation of
former order reopening the divorce
case..
The contention of Bernstein &
Cohen, attorneys for Mrs. Sophia
Speier, was that she had not had her
day in court during her husband's
divorce suit, as her guardian ad litem.
a daughter, allowed the case to go by
default, instead of appearing as re
quired: Dy law.
The case was complicated by the
iact that six months after the divorce
was granted Speier married again
and now has a child by his second
wire, airs. Sarah Speier.
Mrs. Sophia Speier was committed
to the asylum in September, 1918, and
was released as cured in August, 1919.

"Last year I became affected with
ecaema. It started on the checks in
a rash, and the water spread and
made my face sore all around the
ear and partly on my head. The skin
was very safe and red, and the
breaking out itched and burned so
that I could hardly help scratching.
My ace was very disfigured.
"Then I used a free sample of
Cuticura. It helped so I bought three
cakes of Soap and one box of Oint
ment, and my face was healed."
