# / W ashington C ounty N ews VOL. V FO REST G RO VE, Gone for two Weeks. WITH ANOTHER’S WIFE Doors and Returns Consigned Goods Back to Owners. “ Loved Ones" Behind on Warpath. Something of a sensation was sprung in this city the first of the week when it was reported that B. F. Wagley, the vehicle man who opened up a business place here some few months ago, had left for parts unknown and with him it is said, he took Mrs. Lillian Bond, who will also be rem em bered as having had a residence here until recently, when she and her husband moved to Ta coma. Rumors have been current here for some time but no definite information could be found until T h e News man met Mr. Bond, the husband of the eloping woman, in Portland last Satur day. Bond was pacing the streets of that city with an anxious eve cast on everybody who looked in the least like his better half, when he met The News man. H e immediaiely began an in- qiury concerning the movements of our late vehicle dealer and on being in formed that he had not been seen in Forest Grove for a week past, it seemed to blast all hopes of finding any trace of Mrs. Bond. Bond stated that Wag- ley had arrived at Tacom a on the pre ceding Friday and on Sunday, two weeks ago they left ror pa ts unknown. Mrs. Bond was staying with her sister in that city and when she suspicioned that an elopem ent was in progress she immediately informed Mr. Bond, who was working for a sister at Castle R ock, Wash., and he set out for Tacom a and found that his wife had disappeared. H e then returned to Portland hoping there to get some clue to their where abouts. Bond says that her sister told him that she thought W agley and Mrs. Bond had gone to California, where Bond claims he will go in search of them after he is satisfied that they are not in Portland. Almost immediately following the disappearance of Mr. Wagley, Mr. G. H . Cash, representing the Studebaker Bros. C o., of Portland, arrived in For est Grove, and is holding down a chair in the doorway of the business place of Mr. Wagley. W nen seen by The News he denied all knowledge of the affair and assured us that Mr. Wagley was expected back any day. When asked if he came out here to take charge of the store he stated that he had not, but assured The News that Art Caples was in charge. Mr. Caples is in the em ploy of Mr. Wagley but does not know any more about the whereabouts of his employer than does any of the rest. That it is a case of elopem ent pure and simple, seems apparent as The News has com e into possession of a letter from Mrs. B. F. W agley, written from Lakeview, Wash, to a friend here asking for informrtion concerning Mr. W agley’ s whereabouts. In the letter Mrs. Wagley claims that “ he (W a g le y ) is a little off and has been lately. W here he is now I do not know. That woman is at the bottom of it all.” She expresses hope of soon finding him and bringing him back to his "norm al condition again.” She further states that, “ I wrote the Portland firm to take charge of his business down there.” T h e letter infers that it is not any financial difficulty that occasioned his disapt earance as she further states, “ I am not worrying about what he owes as much as where he is.” Mr. Wagley came to Forest Grove som e time in the early part of the year with Mrs. Bond and started her up in the restaurant business which termi nated abruptly when Mrs. Bond’ s hus band appeared on the scene and pro ceeded to make matters decided y warm for the vehicle man bv a fistic encounter in which Mr. Wagley cam e out where Britt did in San Francisco Tuesday night. This infuriated him to the extent that he called on Sheriff Connell to assist him in setting the Bonds into the street. This action brought about two ten thousand dollar damage suits; one against the sheriff and the other against Mr. W agley. A few months later the suits were adjust ed out of court by Mr. W agley and the O R E ., The regular annual election of the W. C. T . U . of Washington county will be held in Hillsboro, next W ednes day, September 18, at the Methodist church. At 9 a. m. devotional exercises by the Beaverton (Jnion will be given and after which the State President, L. H . Abbiton of Portland, will call the m eet ing to order. T h e appointment of com m ittees follows and then the Hills boro Union will give the address of w elcom e to which Mrs. Roberts of the Forest Grove Union will respond. There will be noontide prayer and a social lunch hour. At two o ’ clock there will be a department drill by the state president and at 2:30 Lucy Broad, the world traveling missionary, will speak upon “ The Aspect of Tem per ance Work in New Zealand.” In the evening there will be d ev o tional services and an address by Miss Broad again upon the subject “ T e m perance in Corea” and the state presi dent also gives an address. A silver offering concludes the m eet ing. Mrs. Roberts is the local presi dent and reports that the Union is in a better condition than in previous years. They intend to fight harder for temper ance the com in g year than ever before. Bonds left for Tacoma, where the tale begins over again. Deputy Sheriff Kane came to this city this morning and turned the goods which were sold to B. F. Wagley on consignment, back to the Studebaker Bros. Co. and they will be moved to Portland tomorrow.

Prominent Figure In Business Here W A S H IN G T O N Mrs. William Kane on Fifth Street, has been having jewelry stolen from her residence for the past few weeks until she has a very few pieces left. The theif is some one who is acquaited with the house and the movements of its occupants and the ariicles are re moved in the daytime and when there is no one at home. Mr. and Mrs. Kane have been in the habit of leaving the doors of the house unlocked while away which in each case the jewelry has been taken with the exception of the last article, when the theif becam e bolder and took advantage of the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Kane were in the front yard reading, which occurred last Sunday. Mrs. Kane reports that she has thus far lost a stickpin with a gold nugget setting, a gold wire ring with a garnet setting, pair cuff buttons, her Eastern Star pin, collar button with a pearl center and lastly, a gold breast pin with some twenty-three or four pearls. Most all these articles were keepsakes and to lose them is to part with something that is very dear to her. In each case the theif has entered the house from the rear and at times when the back door was known to be locked, a ladder which stood against the house, has been the means of en trance. T o do this the theif has layed in wait until Mrs. Kane left the house. N o other articles have been touched and the articles have been removed from the dresser. It is thought by her that she has a good idea who the petty theif is and every possible means will be taken to recover the property if it is not returned in due course of time. T H U R SD A Y .
