WIFE LOSES SUIT
Husband Is Granted Divorce in Suit
of Helnrich vs. Helnrich.
The divorce suit of Mary E. Hein
rlch vs Philip Heinrich, tried at St.
Helens, Oregon, on Friday and Satur
day of last week, was deolded in Mr.
Henrich'a favor, the Judge denying
the plaintiff's application for divorce,
alimony, etc. Mr. Heinrich is section
foreman for the Southern Pacific
Company p, Dallas, and when his
wife brought suit for divorce last
Spring he filed a cross-complaint.
After hearing the testimony of
numerous witnesses from Perrydale
and Dallas, Judge McBride, who tried
the case, decided that Mrs. Heinrich
was the party in fault, and that a
divorce ought to be granted the de
fendant. The Judge intimated that, inas
much as the parties had made $500 or
$600 while keeping boarders at Porry
dale, the proceeds of which were in the
possession of Mr. Heinrich, the
plaintiff, ought to receive $125 of this
amount for her work, and this amount
was accordingly paid her by the de
fendant. Dieting Invites Disease.

Cause of Lockjaw.
Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
in etreet dirt. It is inactive so lone &s
exposed to the air, but when carried be
neath the ekin ae in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
roused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger of lock
jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's
I'ain Balm freely as eoon as the injury
is received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes cuts, bruises and like injuries
to heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the usual
treatment. It is tor sale by Wilson

KICKED BY A HORSE
Sheriff Ford Meets With Painful Acci
dent While Driving Near
Falls City.
John T. Ford, sheriff of Polk county,
met with an accident last Saturday
that will prevent him from attending
to his office duties for several weeks.
While driving down the mountain
road from the Bryan-Lucas sawmill
to Falls City, the wheels of his buggy
dropped into a deep rut, bringing the
bed of the vehicle down to within a
few inches of the ground, and throw
ing the breeching of the harness
against the horse's hocks. The
animal, which, under ordinary cir
cumstances, is very kind and gentle,
became frightened and began kicking
viciously. One of its feet struck Mr.
Ford a glancing blow on the leg just
below the knee-cap, and landed with
full force on the officer's breast. Mrs.
Ford was riding in the buggy, but
escaped unhurt.
Sheriff Ford was painfully injured,
but pluckily drove to Dallas and
called a physician to dress his wound
ed leg. The cut made by the horse's
shoo was about one and one-half
inches In length, and it was found
necessary to put in three stitches to
bring the flesh together. The blow
over the breast caused Mr. Ford much
suffering, but fortunately resulted in
no internal injury. Sheriff Ford will
probably be confined to his room for
two or three weeks, but is resting
easy, and it is belioved that no perma
nent lameness will be caused by the
accident.
