SHEfS WILLING, SAYS WIRE
Wires Himi "Coma When Convenient,
Will Marry Collie." So Xe Says
Hell Oo to 8. T. to Get Her.
(Untt4 Preaa Leaf W!r.
Los Angeles, Jan. 13. The world
smiled again today on Samuel S.
Sprecher. a Portland business man.
who filed suit here yesterday against
Mrs. Dollle Magoon of Portland, ask
ing $30,000 for her alleged breach of
promise to become his wife. Mrs. Ma
goon has relented, Sprecher happily
declared, and the couple will be mar
ried after all.
"Come when convenient; will be
married JJOUie."
This was the text of a telegram
Sprecher received Mast evening from
can rrancisco, wnere Airs. Magoon
had hastenrri- mMM4i.li afi.r th.
papers in. the suit were served. What
occasioned me laays cnange or mm.
precner was unable to say, but he
was- satisfied with things as they
are.
"I filed the suit just to bring her
to her right mind," Sprecher said, "and
to get ner out of the Influence of my
enemies." He refused to elaborate on
his statement. He will leave for Sar
Francisco late this week. '
Sprecher's suit will not be dropped,
however, until he is safely wed. His
attorney, William H. James, made an
emphatic statement to that effect to
day after Sprecher had told htm of
the telegram he had received.
"Mr. Sprecher believes that it is the
part of wisdom to let matters rest as
they stand until Mrs. Magoon becomes
his wife," the lawyer said. "After that
it will be easier just to let the suit
drop. Everyone will be happy then.
According to Sprecher's complaint,
Mrs. Magoon promised in June, 1914.
to marry him, and their engagement
was announced. They decided to go to
Santa Ana to be wed, because of that
city s reputation as a Gretna Green.
December 31, 1914, they secured their
marriage license there, he declared.
But Mrs. Magoon refused to go
through with the ceremony, the plain
tiff sets forth, though he begged and
implored. He then decided to sue.
Mrs. Magoon is the widow of
Llewellyn B. . Magoon, a well known
Portlander who . died - about 20 years
ago. For many years he waa in the
livery and transfer business.
According to' tenants occupying
Mrs. Magoon s former home at 273 Va
Broadway she ha been in California
since the early part of December. She
is said .to have considerable property
here, owning the northwest corner of
Broadway and Jefferson streets and
other city real estate. -
Mr. Sprecher will be her third hus
band, if she marries him.
'Wave of Burglaries Subsides.
Only three small burglaries were
reported to the " police Tuesday, and

Nottingham feed store at East Second

some knives and pencils were stolen.
Tbe Favorite restaurant at 93 Nyth

Black Rot in Apples
To the Editor What is the remedy
for. black rot in apples? How -does
it make . its appearance, and how de
tected? Is it very prevalent In the
orchards of this section of country? I
have a neighbor that has had it In
his apples in his yard so badly .that
they were worthless until this year,
and now they are clear of it. He
claims to have treated his trees with
something and cured It in them. Any
way he and his wife both say their
apples are first class for the first
time since they became infected. He
proposes to demonstrate It free for a
few to show what be has. J. E. A.
Apple fruit black rot occurs over a
large part of the apple growing fruit
area of the United States, Disease
affects limbs' and fruit of apple, pear
and quince. Large limbs blacken, and
bark roughens and splits, disclosing
wood and causing a very rough, ugly
looking canker by the fact tbat in the
canker the bark does not split away
and disclose . wood beneath. Follow
ing Is the usual treatment, although
your neighbor may have discovered
something better: Remove and' destroy
the affected limbs; cut out diseased
bark, and jalnt over all wounds with
Bordeaux wash. When spraying in
regular orchard treatment, see that
the limbs are well covered with tbe
spray.
