with - blood,' splotches even s ap
pearing on the-. : ceiling , of the
room. The officers were forced
to make their way into the
honse through a window, as Mrs.
Wurtzbarger had locked all of the
doors when he left. ;
Mrs. Wurtibarger has been
married three times, and divorced
from ithe two former husbands.
The first husband - was Dennis
Carter, . father f of her daughter
now living in Salem and the sec
ond was H. K. Miles, by whom
She has a son, Otis Miles, a clerk
at the Multnomah hotel of Port
land She came to Salem from
Douglas. Ariz. Her slain hus
band has a son and daughter by
a former marriage, Mabel Wurtz
barger, now said to be in Van
couver, and a boy whose name is
not kn3wn, who was at one time
an inmate of the state training
school here, now in the army at
Honolulu.
- - Husband.. Violent, She Kay
-. Lodged in tho city jail, under
the care of Foliee" Matron Shanks,
Mrs. Wurtzbarger told her tory
to a reporter, yesterday, with ap-.
parent ly no reserve, 7. She spoke
in a low, confident tone, and look
ed the interviewer in the face
while giving most of.her" answers.
Mr. Wurtzbarger had ah un
bearable disposition," she said.
"He has always been that way,
but it was not until lately that he
became so violent. He was- Jeal
ous of every man that I spoke to,
and I was allowed to have no
friends. 7 I stayed in the house
most ef the time, doing my house
work, and I was seldom gone. He
never has treated ray children
risht,- an lately he has just Ig
nored them."
Questioned about Charles C
Gallagher, whose correspondence
is said by some to have been the
provocation of tle quarrel Satur
day night, she said:
"I seldom saw him, and sel
dom heard from him. He was
nothing ' more than a distant
friend to me. only he was more
of a friend than anyone else." ;
Daughter Defends. Mother
. "There was never anything in
our connection that should have
aroused jealousy, and there is no
more reason to pick him out than
any of the other, men that I
know," she declared.
"1 am positive that mother was
forced to do what she did by his
actions." her daughter, 7 Mr.
Ralph Derrick, emphatically : de
clared, ! Mrs. Derrick was with
her. mother for about two hours
yesterday.
Investigation yesterday- show
ed that Wurtzbarger had appar
ently not been nfade to save any
money. Indications now are that
there will not be sufficient money
to pay fotjthe expense of his bu
rial. His follow workers say
that he was a very efficient work
er, although he was . unable to
get along, with the men around
him. ; .'
Quarrels Frequent
Reginald Chapman, an Indian
boy, who some times worked at
the Wurtzbarger home, tells of,
frequent quarrels between- the
two, and of Wurtzbarger mistreat
ing her physically - and cursing
her. From their quarrels, the
lad declares,' he ' gathered that
Wurtzbarger, was jealous of a man
named Charles C. Gallagher, of .
Portland. TEe boy says he thought
Wurtzbarger had intercepter let
ters from, Gallagher to Mrs.
Wurtabarger. At the Salem jail
the woman Inadvertantly, dropped
an- ' intimation that he suspected
other men. She claimed not to
know Gallagher's address. t
Mrs. H. Ayers of Los Angeles,
daughter of James , Swaboda. ot
Chemawa, was living temporarily
in one-half of the cottage occu
pied by the WurtzbarKers. She
says she' was awakened about 3
o'clock Sunday morning by a
noise like a chair falling,' but
thought-little of-it as she hwl
become accustomed to disturb
ances of that kind. She tells of
having heard 5 profane remarks
burled. by Wurtzharger at his wife
on previous occasions.
Mr. and Mrs. Wurtzbarger and
young Miles were spectators for a
few minutes at a dance at Che
taawa, Saturday night, 4 leaving
about 9:30. ,,, .-

A Gigantic Effort on Our Part to Demonstrate th Purchasing
Power of Your Dollar Today as Compared With Prices in 1920:
' Who is there that fought so valiantly to reduce prices, who took greater
immediate losses and who sacrificed more heedlessly, with the ultimate mo
tive in view to bring prices down to the lowest ebb, than did the People's
Cash Store when others were commandeering higher prices. This institution
has always been and always will continue to be a bulwark against high
prices and for lowest profits.

the market conditions, take up our weapons and stand in readiness to pro-
