Historical Marriage and Divorce Pro.
coedlng of 18S6.
The old pioneers are fast passing
away, and with tbem, too often, inte -
esting facts in local history, which ap
pear in this day odd or unconventional.
But when it is remembered that the
three departments -of government, legis
lative, executive and judicial, were car
ried on in a very lax manner in those
early days, when the unlearned, nn-
practiced, but generally quite intelligent,
men. held the chief positions in church
or state, it is not to be wondered 'at that
the various transactions of these func
tionaries seemed at times a little irregu
lar from the standpoint ofjjurisprudence
or religion as administered today.
It is onr intention to give the particu
lars of a marriage and divorce of 1856.
i '
which happened on 15-Mile creek, near
Tbe Dalles. The facts are well authen
ticated, though the . historian prefers
that hia name be not mentioned openly.
In the year named Lew Henderson was
justice of the peace on 15-Mile creek,
with a jurisdiction of 100 miles or more
to the south and east and as far as the
Cascades to the west. There came one
beautiful morning a couple to be mar
ried, and Henderson was requested to
tie tbe knot. He of course did so in the
approved manner of the day. Three
months later the same couple came be
fore him, bright and smiling, but with
the following complaint, made by tbo
recently-made husband :
"Judge, three months ago you tied
the knot which made us one, but we
find we are not suited to each other.
We have made a mistake. There is -an
incompatibility between us, and we
want to be severed from tbe marriage
relation. We want a divorce."
"But, my dear sir," said Henderson,
I am only a justice of the peace. I
can marry you, but I have no authority
to grant a divorce."
"Who has?"
"I don't know ; perhaps Salem would
be the nearest place.'!
Well, now, we don't intend to walk
to Salem. You tied the knot, and I
don't see any reason why . you cannot
untie it. Can't you say 'whereas' some
thing and turn us loose?"
Henderson was tne most a ceo m mo
unting man in tne world. Me was,
plainly perplexed, but resolved to do
what he could to grant the prayer of the
couple standing before him. So he re
quired of each that they sign a contract
in duplicate absolving the other from
the vows of marriage they had taken
three .months previously, and in the
language of his petitioners, "turned
tnem loose. jn either Henderson nor
any one else has ever . heard of them
from that day to this. Perhaps both
are dead. The grass over Henderson's
grave has been green many springtimes,
