Turner, who is an animal train er, and his wife lived together but a few months . when they separated and he sued for divorce charging cruelty and alleging his wife nagged htm and called him names.' Mrs. Turner replied with a cross complaint in which she asked for an annulment of their marriage on the ground her bus band forced her to marry him at the point of a plchfork. He not only threatened to kill her, but told her he would kill her lion also, the cross complaint re cited.

SlbO for 80-Foot Jump Finds No One Wiltins Would you leap fifty feet off a high crag into a boiling rapids for 1100? This amount of money was recently offered by a motion pic ture company inning scenes for vne of their pictures up in the Maine woods and there were no takers. Natives of that wild backwoods country of the Pine Tree state who ra used to facing wounded moose n4 black bears in traps andIher dangers with which the T!ark wood there abounds turned down sold th chance to make It 00 by risking the jump into the rapids. The picture, during the making of which this particular Incident occurred, la "God's Couutr and the Law," the latest Curweod film drama, which will be show at the Oregon theatre on Thursday and Friday. The director of the company had to finally withdraw his offer and GJadyi Leslie, the star, un able to find anyoue to double in the leaping scene for her, went through with it with a great dis play of grit. She made tho leap, landed In the rapida and was fur ried several hundred yards down ctreaui befrre she was taken from immigration from Switzerland to the American continent. Content ment was a predominating charac teristic before the wave of post war unrest and depression. Now large numbers of the Industrious folks are turning hopeful faces to ward Canada. The influx Is ex pected to be large. ' Experience has shown that the Swiss are most desirable Immi grants. Their natural Industry makes them builders. Their quick adoption of western manners makes assimilation easy. Of Canada's total population the Swiss comprise less than 10 per cent. Practically all are prosper ous farmers. The forefathers nf many were pioneers. The first Swiss settlers came over just a hundred years ago. Clearing Land bv Fire in North Alberta Edmonton, Alta., Nov. 21.
