An Investigation will be put under
way by District Attorney II. II. Dc
Armond to ascertain whether tho di
vorce obtained by Frank Brobert on
September IS was legal. This comes
a a result ot Mrs. Alma Brobert's
attempt to shoot her ex-husband.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Urobcrt
told her story to Attorney De Ar
mond. -She had written a note day
before yesterday telling her husband
that sho was about to comnilt'sulclde.
Sho took this note and went to his
home In the evening, also carrying
thn gun with which to take her own
life, not her husband's, a was orig
inally thought to have been the case.
Kronen returned earlier than she had
expected him and tho couple became
involved In tho argument which later
developed Into tho shooting.
Mrs. Urobcrt had several times
previous to Wednesday asked legal
advice concerning the divorce. She
had worked herself into a highly
nervous state and was worried con
siderably over some furniture which
site says belonged to her and Brobert
had taken tho liberty of selling.
No suit has yet been filed and Mr.
Do Armond Is working on the theory
that as no formal complaint has been
madn thero Is a possibility ot a recon
ciliation being effected.

BROOKS -SCANLON TO
INCREASE HOLDINGS.
Deal on to Take Over Portion of the
KhevUn-Hlxon and Rupp Tract
Amountn to Rearrange
ment of I'lne Ownership.
(Portland Telegram.)
Negotiations are pending for the
purchase of approximately 370,000,
000 feet ot timber by the Brooks
Scanlon Lumber company In Central
Oregon. The property involved Is at
present owned by the Shevlln-Hixon
company, of Bend', and the Palmer-
Rupp company.
The Brooks-Scanlon people are ne
gotiating for 22,000 acres owned by
Shevlln-Hixon and 5000 acres owned
by Palmer-Rupp. The former hold
ings represents about 300,000,000
feet of timber and the latter about
70,000.000 feet. The timber ot the
Shevlln-Hixon Company adjoins that
of Brooks-Scanlon, and it is easier
tor Brooks-Scanlon to handle it than
for Shevlln-Hixon. The 5000 acres ot
Palmer-Rupp are in the same bell. If
the deals are consummated, the re
sult will be that Brooks-Scanlon will
have an immense body of timber
which they Can operate conveniently.
Some time ago the Shevlln-Hixon
Company acquired a large tract of
timber from Brooks-Scanlon which
was near their holdings. Rather than
for each company to build a railroad
to get at these particular tracts, they
adjusted the matter by Shevlln-Hixon
taking the Brooks-Scanlon timber in
their neighborhood, and now Brooks
Scanlon are about to acquire the
Shevlln-Hixon timber in their own
vicinity. The arrangement is a con
venience for each ot the companies.
E. C. Shevlin says the negotiations
are pending, but so far as he knows
have not been completed. Norman
N". Rupp states that the papers are in
the east, but what progress Is being
made on the deal he does not know.
That negotiations tor the acquisi
tion by the Brdoks-Scanlon Company
of the timber land referred to In the
foregoing story from yesterday's
Portland Telegram are pending has
been known here tor several weeks.
The chief question to be determined
has been an agreement as to the scala
of timber on the tracts Involved and
to obtain this. Bob Mouncey, a Shev
lin scaler, has been here for some
time at work with a Brooks-Scanlon
representative.
The timber land in question is
owned by the Fremont Land Com
pany, a Shevlin company, and it sit-

STRIKE IN BEND
TRADE UNIONS ARE BETTER OR
GAMZEI) THAN IN ANY TOWN
OK SAME SIZE IN THE UNITEB
STATES, SAYS PIERSON.
Bend Is one of the few industrial
towns In the United States where
there will very likely be no disturb
ances caused by strikes, according to
Hairy Pearson, secretary of the Cen
tral Labor Council.
Mr. Pierson when Interviewed on
the possibility of strikes affecting this
section explained that the constitu
tion of the local council Is so worded
as to prevent sympathy strikes, which
are now causing so much trouble In
the east. The question In Portland
centers around the principle ot the
closed shop. In Bend this Is well
preserved.
"This is the only town Its size in
the United States which Is so thor
oughly organized," said Mr, Pierson.
"The entire population seems to work
in cooperation to a greater extent
than I have ever seen It done before.
There are ten trade unions here who
either already have charters or have
them on the way. All are strongly
In favor of settling disputes by arbi
tration. There would be little us
In striking." '
