ENDS IK COURT
Nineteen Divorce Cases At
Present Term of Court
Five Granted.
(Special to The Times)
COQUILLE, Ore., Sept. 1G. Mar
riage is something of a failure in
Coos county according to the records
of the present term of court. There
are nineteen cases of domestic in
felicity reported in nineteen applica
tions for divorce. It Is rather re
markable with this large showing
that there is not a single sensational
case in the lot. The men and women
who weary of their wedded bonds in
Coos county Just seem to be "quit
ters." They get'tire'd, leave home
and forget to come back. The major
ity of the cases specify "desertion"
as the cause for complaint. Bandoh
has the record for the largest num
ber of cases filed. Of the nineteen
cases, filed only five have been grant
ed, the others not having been reach
ed on the calendar or else continued
for various causes. Those thus fat
granted are as follows:
Chas. H. Chandler vs. Artha Genia
Chandler, both of Bandon, decree
granted.
Paul J. Mcintosh vs. Olive May
Mcintosh, of Bandon, decree grant
ed. '
Julius Rones vs. Lydla Rones of

ren of Coquille, decree granted.
Divorces Granted.
Today Judge Coke granted Mrs.
Maybelle McGann of Coos River, a
divorce from J. G. McGann of Cali
fornia, the case going by default.
A divorce was also granted in the
case of Gardiner vs. Gardiner, the
parties to the suit residing in North
Bend.
Sam Marsden's Horse Cap
tures $500 Purse at State
Fair Races.
Fm Marsden wired relatives here
to.lav that his horse Mack N had
won the $500 purse at the Salem
State Fair races yesterday, winning
thiee out of the four heats run.
There were twelve other entries,
Mack N being thus pitted against
some of the best horses of his class
in Oregon.
This on top of the big winning
made at Eugene the Qther day,
makes Marsden a big winner. Be
sides the Salem races, Mack N will
probably be entered in the Portland
races.
No news of the other horses has
been received, aside from, F. P. Nor
ton's Zomoak who finished fifth the
day before yesterday.

GETTINS CASE
IS WITH JURY
No Verdict Yet In Suit
Knuppenberg Deal
Here.
Over!
(Special to The Times.)
COQUILLE, Ore., Sept. 1G. The
case of F. K. Gettins of Marshfield,
vs. Patrick Hennessey to recover pay
from the latter because his name was
used by M. N. Knuppenberg in the,
latter's frenzied finance deals on
Coos Bay, went to the Jury at 2
o'clock this afternoon. Owing to its
being so hard fought, no verdict is
expected for several hours. I
The Coos county grand Jury has
made fits final report, returning a '
number of secret Indictments. Until
nrr.t. ,n,i0 ,i,neo .m i,

made public.
Among the matters, investigated by
the grand Jury, was M. N. Knuppen
berg's deals on the Bay. What dis
position of them was made is not
known.
The grand Jury also decided to
pass up the "bawdy house" question
to the Marshfield city authorities, de
clailng them necessary evils that
must be regulated by the city officials
In the towns wheie they are located.
This afternoon, the case of John
Wall et al, vs. Ed. Barzee was taken
up for hearing. '
The "Ko Keel Klub," the new so
cial organization of Coquille was
made an object of investigation by
the special grand jury yesterday. As
soon as the matter was called to the
attention of Prosecuting Attorney
Liljeqvist, who is himself a member
of the club, the grand jury was in
vited to the club room and provided
with a copy of the rules and reg
ulations. The evidence that the
club was a benefit to the city and
not a menace to Its morals was so
overwhelmnlg that the grand Jury
considered the matter of commend
ing instead of condemning it. The
investigation is said to have been
prompted by some "spite work."

(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, Sept. 1G. The postal
savings bank question came to tho
fore today at the meeting df thp
savings bank section of the Ameri
can Bankers' Association's conven
tion. In the midst of a committee's
report adverse to the postal savings
bank and speeches depreciating the
entrance of the government Into the
banking business, an open letter was
received from the Postal Savings
Bank League of the United States.
The letter is addressed to Geo. M.
Reynolds, president of the American
Bankers' Association and signed by
Julius Goldserer and is a plea for
postal banks and calls upon the bank
ers for assistance In securing tho
postal savings banks in the following
words: "Here Js a place and a time
when broad patriotism urges that
opposition to tho postal depository
measure favored by the president
shall cease and that the American
Bankers' Association win the trust,
esteem and profound respect of the
American, people by publicly and
frankly endorsing that measure, un
mindful of the seeming self-interests
to the contrary. Experience in other
countries has shown that so far from
Injuriously affecting the banking
business, postal savings banks have
acted as feeders to the banks, In
creasing the deposits In number and
volume." No action was taken.

a piece of iope to tie up the bad man
with, tho latter escaped.
A few hours afterward, Shoupq

not romomber having met Jensen
Whether Nay was the victim of the

taken for Inter work Is a problem for
tho local followers of Sherlock
