KARL HON TAKES
A
Land In County Jail Last Week
as Result of Appropriation
SHERIFF (JETS AN ALLEGED SLACKER
Marriage License at Tillamook Tells of
Chas. O'Brien's Age
Karl Krunton, a German who
talks but little English, helped
himself to a horse and buggy be
longing to Hanse Fosague, near
the Standard Box plant, at Sco-
field, last week, and started on
a tour of the surrounding coun
try. He was caught down at
Manning, and it was found that
he had also picked up a water
pail as another "found" asset.
Krunton was lodged in jail
here and when asked why he
helped himself to the equine and
vehicle, said he was looking for
work. He is not overly bright,
and may be a subject for the
asylum. Any man with any
sense of the law of averages
would hardly Bteal a horse with
the price of feed up to the top
of Mt. Hood. He will be held to
investigation by the grand jury.
Chas. O Bnen, of lillamook,
was picked up in the P. 1L & N.
yards here the last of the week
and held as an alleged slacker.
O'Brien took out a marriage li
cense at Tillamook a few days
ago and swore he was 21 last
May. He had r.ot registered,
and his license led ihe otticials to
look him up. He will be held
until the law makes a full in
vestigation.
I'HARAILDO VANTI:l) LOUIS.
The Meltebeke family again broke
into the limelight the last ot the
week. Some weeks ago Frank
Meltebeke sud Pharailde, his
wife, for divorce, alleging that
his brother Louis had first place
in the wife's atfections. A few
days after the suit was filed, the
brother, Louis, was brought to
the county seat and charged with
insanity. Upon examination he
was ordered committed. A few
days laier the divorce case went
to trial, and Mrs. M. fought the
cause, asking for a decree and
the property.
The Court decided that r rank
was entitled to the divorce and to
half of the property.
After the divorce decree Mrs.
Meltebeke visited the asylum to
see her brother-in-law, and was
told that he had sufhently recov
ered if any one in authority could
stand sponser for him. She re
turned home and on last lhurs
day she and her son went where
the ex-husdand was staying at
a married daughter's home and
forcibly abducted Frank, taking
him to the old Meltebeke home.
On Friday morning Mrs. Melte
beke sent her son to Salem in
company with the ex-husband, to
get the brother and co-respond
ent out of the' asylum. The
sheriff's office was notified, but
not in time to head off the ma
chine. The ex-husband says that
the wife and son captured him in
his shirt sleeves, and he was
taken away coat less and hatless.
The asylum authorities were no
tified of the situation.

from F. E. Harlow on grounds

he upbraided her in the presence
of her dancing class pupils.
The patrons of Banks Route 3
are trying hard to get a mail ser
vice out of Portland that will
carry the morning daily out on
the route on the day of publica
tion. As the matter now stands
the S. P. gets into Banks, en
route tor Tillamook at 10:30 when
it is not late. This makes the
morning paper reach them
many of them the next after
noon after publication, and they
naturally want a mail service
better than this. The S. P.. it
is said, wishes to make connec
tions with a California tram,
hence the late start out of Port
land. Postmaster Vandervelden
says the carriers on the routes
can't make their trips and get
back before nine and ten in the
evening if they await the arrival
of the Tillamook train for the
mails.
