William E. Martin hit fll-l suit In
ths circuit court against C&rrtuin John
neld for M00 danism. Martin alleges
In the complaint that Held alienated
the affection of Mrs. Martin; that the
hutband's business ruin followed, caut
Inn him a financial Iom of 1800, and
that hl monUl and physical anguish
can be ppeaned only through the pay
ment to him by the defendant of $4200.
Apart from the 15000 thus accounted for
Mnrtln wanta the court to levy the cot
of the action against Reld. The
papers In the tult were filed yesterday
by attorney 3. M. Hughe and George
Noland,
The complaint recites that William
Martin and Bertha B, Martin were
married at McMlnnvllle, this state, July
11 1895; that they lived together up to
January, 1903; that they came to Asto
ria to rmlle In June, 1902; that the
Issue of the marriage Is a son, William.
During 1902. the complaint states, the
dofendunt In the action and the plain
tiff's wife became acquainted and spent
a great deal of their lime together, Mrs.
Martin going away from her home as
often as four or five times a week to
t the defendant. Their clandestine
mevtltiK are said to have unusually
numerous during the months of Octo
her, Novsmber, and December, 1902, and
January, 1M3. The complaint sets
forth:
"That through the wiles and allure
ments of defendant, she (the plaintiffs
wife) 'as likewise induced to visit
drinking resorts and restaurant where
beer was sold for price, and' oyster
houses and other places questionable
fur women to enter, and all the whll
plaintiff protested atealnst these acts
and warned and advised her against

the defendant, John Reid, but she con
tlnued as before up and until the month
of January, 1903, -vhen defendant want
only and maliciously enticed her away
from her husband to Portland, and
she did not return thereafter,"
It is further stated that Martin asked
Reld to cease his attentions to Mrs.
Martin, but that Held, refused to do so,
"Interfering with plaintiff's private and
sacred relations to Bertha E. Martin
and corrupting the mind and morals of
plaintiffs wife."
The affair Is alleged to have resulted
in the ruination of the plaintiffs busi
ness and the breaking down of his
health, the monetary damage to
the business being $800; "and," accord
ing to the concluding paragraph In the
allegations, "the plaintiff was further
injured by the great mental strain and
suffering he was forced to undergo at
the hands of the defendant, all of
which ruined plaintiff financially and
caused him great and intense mental
and physical suffering, and added to
his Injury .aid damage at least and
reasonably 'n the sum of 1200."
Mr. and Mrs. Martin first became'
prominent in the public eye when the
woman kidnapped her child here, char
tered a launch and ran away to Kelso,
Wash. Mr. Martin went to the town,
found the child at play in the yard of
the home at which the wife was stop
ping and, securing it, made off In haste
down the railroad track. A crowd fol
lowed, but halted when Martin com
manded. The affair created a great
deal of interest at the time. '
. MILL IS PROGRESSING.
Work is prcferesslng rapidly on the
Warren ton mill and 'he contractors
have recently augmented the building
crew in order to hasten building oper
ations. The machinery has been order
ed from the ast and Is believed now to
be en route. It Is hoped that on Its ar
rival everything will be in readiness to
have It at once Installed and to this
end the preliminary work Is being
pushed. The company believes that
the mill will be In operation not later
than January 15th.
A fight to the death was witnessed
off the Columbia river by the members
of the crew of the French bark Ger
maine, which arrived in port a few days
ago from Newcastle, Australia, with a
cargo of coal. The participant in the
sanguinary contest were a mammoth
blacklist!, or whale, as the species Is
called, and a swordfish. After a battle
lasting fully an hour, the swordfish ran
his deally sword Into the vitals of the
blackfish, and the tatter succumbed.
The Oermalne was only a day off the
Columbia when the singular spectacle
w.is witnessed. The contestants were
ro deeply engrossed In their fight that
they paid no heed to the proximity of
the ship, which at times was within a
cable's length of the struggling mon
sters. The swordfish was the aggressor
throughout the contest, repeatedly at
tacking his bulky adversary. Captain
Trlxad'r, of the Germaine, says the
swordflsh's tactics were to Jump into
the air with the intention of sinking
the sword In the Jack of the blackfish,
but the latter managed for a long time
to successfully avoid a fatal stab.
"Frequently," said the captain yes
terday, In describing the fight, "the
swordfish leaped Into the air and at
tempted to bury his sharp sword In the
back of the whale, but the latter was
very nimble and eluded the Intended
blows. The swordfish was persistent
in his attacks, and for nearly an hour
the battle raged. The jibes of the
svfbrdflsh cut long gashes in the sides
of the whale and the sea was covered
with blood. Occasionally the battellng
monsters sank from sight, only to reap
pear again. Evidently the struggle
went on beneath the surface of the sea
as well as In sight of the ship's crew,
fcr there was a constant commotion
whenever the great fish sank. Finally,
after a long and bloody struggle, the
swordfish embedded his sword In the
