(Dallas Observer)
Wilbur Hughes won a jury verdict
of $2500 against Frank Holman and
others in his suit for $20,000, which
was set aside by Judge Belt imme
diately after the verdict was rendered.
Holman and the other defendants
are members of the local Apostolic
Faith organization and were accused
by Hughes of having alienated the af
fections of Mrs. Hughes by telling her
that she should have nothing to do
with her husband, who was not one
of the faith.
The case was bitterly fought in
court, and finally went to the jury.
The 12 men within a reasonable time
returned a verdict for $2500 against
the defendants. Upon hearing the
verdict read, Judge Belt announced
that he would set aside the finding,
that it was contrary to law, and that
there was no evidence to support the
same. The judge said there was no
evidence to support the charge of
conspiracy or concerted design upon
the part of the defendants, or any of
them, to alienate the affections of
the plaintiff's wife, and further that
it appeared to the court at the time
that the complaint failed to state a
cause of action.
Following the announcement of the
court that the verdict of the jury had
been set aside, Hughes, the plaintiff,
announced that he would appeal the
case to the state supreme court.
This case has attracted much atten
tion throughout the county. The
plaintiff feet up ins his complaint and
gave evidence to substantiate the
charge, that Mrs. Hughes had been
induced to attend the services of the
sect to the neglect of her family; also
refusing to accept treatment for can
cer, from which she was supposed to
be suffering.
The jurymen who rendered the
$2500 verdict that was set aside were:
H. K. Sickafoos, J. F. Powell, and E.
W. W. Staats of Monmouth; Martin
Deal of Independence; Bert Snyder of
. Buena Vista; Jackson Purvine of In
dependence; Robert Loe of Kickreall;
W. D. Gilliam of Guthrie; F. J. Crav
en and M. D. Wilson of Dallas.
Robert Brown, who was indicted by
the Polk county grand jury September
30 for the malicious destruction of the
personal property of Roy Bremmer,
district game warden, was fund mbt
guilty by the trial jury. The jury
returned Jheir verdict after a deliber
ation of 62 minutes. According to the
evidence, in April of this year, Browfti
was accused of cutting the tire on
the automobile of Mr. Bremmer
which was parked by the side of the
road near McNary station. The evi
dence showed that Mr. Bremmer was
proceeding to Salem on the highway
and saw Brown on a creek near
Brunk's comer with a fishing outfit,
Mr. Bremmer stopped to inform him
that the fishing season had not open
ed, which resulted in a heated argu
ment between them. After proceed
ing some distance toward Salem,
Bremmer returned and parked his car
near McNary station after Brown had
disappeared from the scene of the
controversy. Mr. Bremmer hid in) the
brush near by for the purpose of as
certaining whether or not Mr. Brown
would again fish. He was concealed
some time irt the brush near the sta-
tion and his car, when he saw Mr.
1 Brown approach his automobile.
I After this he heard a report as if a
( tire were losing air. Rushing to the
scene to see what was wrong, he dis
covered his tire cut and saw some per
son disappear in the woods.
The jury selected to try the Pugh
& Sauer case against the city of Dal
las could not reach an agreement and
was discharged at 4 a. m., Wednes
day monrdng. The 12 men had been
out from 9 o'clock the previous eve
ning. Pugh & Sauer, contractors, put in a
large number of cement sidewalks in
Dallas last year, and are suing for an
alleged balance due them of $1200.
The city holds that it owes them noth
ing, it is said that the juy was prac
tically evenly divided.
In the trial, as in the complaint,
Pugh & Sauer sought to shift the
blame, if blame there was according
to their view, to the shoulders of the
Dallas city engineer. The contractors
claimed and attempted to prove that
the engineer opened the sidewalks to
traffic before they were sufficiently
dry. Oil the other hand, the engineer
contended that the contractors used
certain sand and gravel without his
permission and against his orders.
The case was drawn out at great
length. Oscar Hayter appeared for.
the city and Grant Corby for the con
tractors. -The case was put on the
calandar for the second trial at the
January term of court.
The sidewalks over which this case
is being fought are the same famous
one's that so many people objected to
on the claim that few or no expansion
joints were put in, causing the walks
to crack and which will doubtless
cause them to continue to crack.

fungous disease. In muking a thor

When B. F. Mills, the noted moon
shiner, "checked out" of the county
jail Tuesday morning he left the Polk
county bastile without an occupant.
Thus, for the first time in some
months the official place of confine
ment of the county is without an oc
cupant. The neighborhood does not
seem the same. Those who pass the
jail daily have been in the habit of
seeing faces at the window and of
hearing teounds from the jail building.
All is now quiet. The jail is deserted.
Mr. Mills i3 the most noted prisoner
who has spent any great length of
time ini the jail for some time. After
being acquitted once in a sensational
trial Mills was caught by Sheriff Orr
in the act of delivering moonshine to
his residence in Independence. He
could not deny the charge this time
with the result that he went before
Jusice Baker at Independence and
entered a plea of guilty. He was sen
tenced to 60 days in jail and to pay
a fine of $250. He paid the fine shortly
after convictiom and served the full
time in jail.
Before leaving the place, Mills toid
the deputy sheriff that he did not
bear any grudges; that he had been
well treated, and promised that he
would not come back. He professed
to have made up his mind that moon
shining does not pay.

FALL TRAINING OF
LOGANBERRIES IS BEST
During the laist season a great deal
of die-back was in evidence in many
loganberry yards throughout the Wil
lamette valley. So many appeals
were sent to the Oregon Agricultural
college concerning the trouble that
special work on the problem was
taken up by Dr. S. M. Zeller of the
experiment station.
