across the, C, street bridge, accom

North Bend as Mrs. Gordon, once
more occupies the oentcr in tho
blinding calcium of tho ne-wMpniw
limelight. According to" tho Port

Lerch received a decree of divorce
from Gordon, carrying with it a judg
ment for ?G,000. She says that tho
money has '.not satisfied her and that

the streets of this city in the past few

the day with Attorneys Dimick &
Dlmick. She stated that she was per
fectly satisfied with the divorce she
received In the local court and
thought that with the ?6,000 she
could get along for a short time at
least.
When asked how long this short
time meant she said that she would
again be married in a couplo of
weeks, more or less, to a man named
S. S. Gordon. Miss Lerch spoke
freely of the case and said that Gor
don was the only man sho could
really love. j"
She said she would leave Portland
in a few days for Coos Bay, where
she would sell considerable of the
property awarded to her by the di
vorce and would then settle down In
her home for a quiet, peaceful life."
Beforo she left she stated that she
loved Gordon with all bis faults, and
that there would very soon be more
for the newspapers to talk about.
Miss Lerch is a conspicuous figure in
this city. She visited many of tho re
sorts about the city yesterday and
seemed in tho best of spirits, stating
many tlmbs that sho and Gordon
