II. Vanderller. a man who waa In tha
employ of Erlckson & Petterson, grad
ing contractors, up to tlia flrat day
of the present month. 1
At the time Vanderller aevered nis
connection with tha grading outfit he
had a full month's wages due him. He
applied to. the paymaster for what waa
due and received a 'statement of ac
count," or time check, across tha face
of whlclf waa .tamped: "payable April

telephone iald that tha acts of the
contractors were well within the law,
but If Vanderller showed a dlapoaltlon
tr. s-at uariv about tha matter they
would take but time check up at Its

Mr. Wilson say. that hs had a daughter-
who married a man named Howe
against hi. wlahea soma ten year. ago.
Her name, however, wa Hulda and the
last he heard of her she wa living la

Mr. Wilson' wife and son ar alao In

The .circumstance of Mr. Howe, ber
mother and children went from bad to

As a last resort Mrs. Howa threat
ened to com to Portland, even If ah
