A Pendleton Woman Shakes
Her Ninth Hubby By Paying
: Him $2000 Alimony. .
Font times Ellen Deering Grangrow
tried to get rid of ber ninth husband
whom she married at Walla Walla
but not till last week was she suc-
oesef ol. . The final dissolution of the
marital tie that binds was seoored at
Oregon City, Oregon.
Worth $30,000 in her own name
she gave nnder the terms of the settle
ment 2000 to her last sonlmate, Grant
Nioholas Grangrow, as alimony, live
of her husbands left her by dying,
four others have been divorced, in
cluding the stioker in Walla Walla.
Intimations that an attempt at poison
ing bad been 'made came ont doling
trial, as did also a letter from J. S.
Wood in which be suggested that an
offer of money had teen made for the
testimony of a witness in the oase.
The couple are Indians and lived at
Pendleton for a number of years.
The oomplaint upon which the woman
brought the notion against her latest
husband was that of desertion. Twice
the case was bionght in Multnomah
oounty, ouoe in Claokamas and onoe
in Marion county
Not until it appeared in the oirouit
court of Claokamas oounty did the
woman win her point and get the di
vorce deoree for whioh she prayed. '
.According to the testimony whioh
was introdnoed the nusband tooK
lunoh with her on June 14. 1912 and
next day was ill. According to a
summary of the case made by pnyBi-
oians, he had taken strychnine. He
believed that be bad reoeived it in
the fcod that he ate at her table that
day and that she bad made an effort to
rid herself of him by other means
than the divorce court. This feature
of the oase was not gone into however
and no attempt was made to prove the
statement.
Mrs. Grangrow married her ninth
husband at Walla Walla October 1.
1908. They lived in PeDdleton a
greater part of the time. She is now
a resident of Gladstone.

We want you here and we want you to see the
full showing before a single garment is sold. We
believe that we have made wise selections, and
that women in general will be more pleased with 4
the coats and suits to be displayed than they ever
have been. In the first place, the variety is great.
A few general style ideas will be found in all of
the garments, but the designing and the little
touches of artists in such work give each garment
an individuality difficult to find in ordinary makes
or in garments not trade-marked. Each coat and
suit in this display has a trade-mark which is re
produced here. We call attention to the trade
marks, because all over the country it means
quality, -style, satisfaction, value.
Fortunately for you, the "PALMER" and
REDFERN" Garments are so designed that
they fit with fewer alterations than any other.
Usually the garment fits perfectly, with no alterations whatever; thus saving you time, annoyance and money.
In the suits nd this is to be a big suit season we have some exquisite designs, sure to please you. In
the coats, the predominance of pUe fabrics-Astrachan, Ural lamb, Persiana, Matelafse, plush will attract you.
