Polk County Observer. School Funds In Good Shape. Financial outlook for the public schools of Clarke county was never Mrs. Knfamaia Bolovonorf Ie clarcs Husband Didn't Appre ciate American Home. After giving up her dream of an "American home" because her hus band insisted that it was a crazy idea, Mrs. Eufamaia Bolovonoff, native of Russia, attempted to burn her furniture in order to win back her husband, according to a con fession made to Captain Roberts of the fire marshal's office. With the confession to setting fire to her furniture in rooms at iZlM Delay street on August 19, in order to . obtain 700 insurance money, Mrs. Bolovonoff unfolded a pathetic story of struggles she had made during the last few years to have an "American home." Work Done Domestic. Twelve years ago this woman came to America from Russia, and according to her own story, worked for some years at domestic and farm work, principally among her own country folk. Then ehe began working as a domestic in America Homes ana became obsessed with a. desire to have "an American home as her own." She saved her pennies, sacri fieine at every turn. About a year and a half ago, a Russian logger entered her me. ie promised to marry her, to purchase a home, to take her on a trip to Europe. It seemed as though her dreams were soon to come true. But after living with this man for six months, his wife appeared on the scene and he departed with his wife and Eufamaia's savings, which at that time had reached J750. Eufamaia Goes Back to Work. Back to work went Eufamaia. determined that again she would save until she had funds sufficient to have her own home like an American. Later she met another Russian logger and was married to him. He would come in from the logging camps and visit with her over week-ends now and then and she continued to work and save. Someone told her of installment plans, under which one could pur chase furniture and pay something down and something every month. After considering this plan for a time, Eufamaia decided to take J200 of her husband's money and J150 of her own, fit up a three-room apartment and then call him in and surprise him. She found the rooms at 447 Sherman street, fitted them up with upholstered furniture, modern in every detail and purchased a gilded cage in which she placed a canary bird. Letter Written Husband. With her establishment just like an American's, she wrote to her husband. He came, but instead of agreeable surprise he registered unmistakable disgust, according to her etory. "Oh. hell." he said, according to the confession. "You crazy. Sell the furniture and put money in savings. I go back to woods and no come back until you sell furni .ture." So poor Eufamaia began the task of disposing of her furniture. Twice she made deals, both of which fell through. Then the "American insur ance" plan came to her mind. She 'would insure the furniture, , after moving it to some shack, burn it, then collect and her husband would corns back again. So she moved to 521 Delay street, insured the furniture, but tried again to sell it. Her new Quarters did not compare with the ideal home she had vacated. Kerosene Fire Started. Hiring a room on the west side, she packed up her clothes and those belonging to her husband, took the bird in its gilded cage and deposited all in "the room. Then she went back, purchased some kerosene at a small store on the east side of the Broadway bridge and saturated the walls and furniture. About 1 o'clock in the morning she set the fire and then ran to the street and yelled "Fire." The efficiency of the Portland f're bureau upset her plans for the fire was put out before the kerosene-soaked effects had caught fire. At first the Russian woman in sisted that she knew nothing about how the blaze started, but finally she told how she had set the fire to win back the love of her hus band, who did not believe in "Amer ican homes." Mrs. Bolovonoff is now at the city Jail, unable to raise the required bond of J1O0O. CORVAI.I.IS FAIXI.TY JOIXED BY EXPERT FORESTER. & ' r 4 i r - ' if- h 1 " 3 Tharmaa J. Starker.
