F. F. linker, formerly residing at
Union, but now living at Spokane Fulls
is defendent in a divorce suit at Union,
in which he does not show up to any
particular advantage. Ho deserted
his wife and child some months ago
but the plucky woman returned from
Iowa and made it so hot for her in
grate husband that he incontinently
jumped the town. Last week he pass
ed through Pendleton on the east
bound train and returned two days la
ter accompanied by a woman to whom
ho seemed more than necessarily at
tentive. He had just about time to
make the trip to Weiser, and return
but might not have gone that far.
one thing is certain he had no busi
ness of sufficient importance to stop
over at Union. The suit against him
for divorce will come up next month
at Union and there will be sufficient
evidence to show to tho world how low
and despicable a man can descend.
