Fruit Growers Should Arrange Meet
George Nesbit Armstrong, Mm*
Melba’ s son, has been divorced in
London by his wife, formerly Ruby
Otwav, after twenty months of un
happy union. A curious circumstance
is that any one reading the reports of
the suit in the London papers would

ent as the son o f the famous prima
donna. This shows what a person
with a big "p u ll” can do with the im
peccable press there.
Ruby Armstrong, not yet 20, told a
pitiable story o f violence and infidelity
on the part o f her husband. She said
he began to quarrel with and abuse her
within two months after their marriage.
They went to Texas and there he beat
ber and locked her in her room. Later
they went to Australia, where her un
happiness became intensified.
On their return to London, early this
year, Armstrong was thrashed by an
r a t! nushand, Mr. Hoffman, who found
him with Mrs, Hoffman at the Hotel
Metropole.
Young Armstrong grew up on a little
ranch in Klamath County with his
father, who separated from his now
famous wife when the boy was a baby.
When Melba visited Oregon a few years
ago a meeting was arranged between
the boy and his mother, the result of
which wan that he le ft the old simple
country life and was taken to Europe
and introduced to "society.” The final
chapter indicates that perhaps the son

he were still herding sheep on the old
