DEPRAVED
FOUND IN LINN CO. HOME
Frank Dobrkovsky, of Near
Scio, Arrested on Charge
of Beating Wife.
A case a interesting a it i re
volting came to the attention of the j
district attorney' office yesterday
when Mr. Mary Dobrkovsky and two
children, who live (even mile south
east of Scio, filed a complaint against
Frank Dobrkovsky for assault and
balctry.
. The Dobrkovsky' live on a farm
even mile southeast of Scio. In the
family are nine children. The wife, in
ber talk with District Attorney Gale
S. Hill and Willard L. Marks, stated
that on Tuesday her husband beat and
kicked her and otherwise illtreated
her. She has a bad bruise on her knee
to prove her tory. A she iat in the
office of Hill and Marks with her two
children, they presented' a pitiful
sight. 'Neither had underclothes, the
boy had no coat, (hoes or. stockings,
his feet were cracked and one of them
bled as they talked.
Some local people made up a purse
with which the children were pur-,
chased clothes and meals were pro
vided for all. Mr. Dobrkovsky claims
that her husband owns 60 acres of
land and that he is able to provide for
the family but will not. She say that
he goes to hi brother' place, which
is nearby, and-eatt most of bis meals,
leaving very little in the house for
the" wife and children. As they talked
yesterday the woman said that they
had had nothing to eat since the
morning before, and that there were
only potatoe in the house.
Dobrkovsky was arrested byAct
ing Canstable Ben Clelcn and brought
to the city. He was given a prelim
inary hearing last evening before Jus
tice of the Peace L. L. Swan, he
pleaded not guilty and hi trial set for
1:00 o'clock Saturday. The charge of
assault and battery was filed for the
present, the officers preferring to in
vestigate further before bringing a
non-support orotfiir charge. iv
The case is an example of deplor
able ignorance, deparvity and utter
selfishness. As the man sat in the
justice court denying everything that
he is charged with he punctuated his
remarks with swear words. Upon the
request of Judge Swan not to swear
in court the man said that he was not
swearing. Presently the same thmg
happened again and he was again cau
'tioncd. When it happened the third
time Judge-Swan became insistent
and demanded that swearing cease.
The man again insisted that he was
not swearing and asked what he said.
He was told that he said "By God."
whereupon he stated that he did not
know that he was swearing.
The case has very peculiar charac
teristics and some other developments
may result. .

LOCAL MEN GIVE THEIR
VIEWS ON SITUATION
Republicans Are Gams Losers
and Patriotically Support
the President.
Woodrow Wilson is conceded elect
ed president of the United' States,
politics is a thing of the past and ev
erybody i aettling-back to normal
again. During the strain of the last
few days before election and the
doubtful suspense that followed until
late last night, many members of the
republican party became confused and
got the idea thsrfa Democratic vic
tory meant ruin,-panics and the-de
moralization of the country.
The Democrat today presents 'the
views of some well known business
men upon the results of the election.
All look forward to a prosperous fu
ture, forgetting politics and getting
down to work for the -good of the
country. There is nothing hi howling
bard times, for nothing will start it
o quickly a the cry of "wolf, when
there is no wolf. -
When interviewed , this morning.
Willard L. Marks, Republican state
central commiteeeman from ' Linn
county said: ' '-'' ' '' "
For several reasons-1 favored the
election of . Mr.' Hughes. For ' one
thing, I felt that Republican success
would result in- improved business
conditions. But .the battle is over now
and nothing-can be gained by criti
cism of the result. I- believe -the -sensible
position for every citizen to take
now is to talk, think and act opti
mistically and try earnestly, to pro
mote business confidence -and pros
perity. . ,- c--
Hon.- E -D. Cusick, -state senator
from Lirtn' county, said: - i' . r- i '
"I favored the - Republican - candi
date, believing that-the timber-and
other products of Oregon needed pro
tection after the war. But our resourc
es are all here and I trust that the ex
pected prosperity will strike us. -
"Anyway, it is our duty to put our
shoulder to the wheel and work for
it's return. We cannot get "a perma
nent prosperity until we give np the
idea of making some one else pay the
taxes and "soaking" capital that is in-.
vested in the state." - mc..-, " . v
F. M. French, prominent jeweler, is
of the opinion that: 1 1 v'
"It is all over now and we should
forget it. Simply forget that there was
an election. The American people are
too smart to be fooled into: thinking
that this country is going to the wall.
T wanted Hughes elected because I
thought that his policies would be
better for the country.: Bnt the ma
jority said Wilson and we will have
to abide by the result We owe Wilson
the nonbr that 'is.due'the president of
these United States and our congrat
ulations bh hiselection.iThe" thing to
do now is to forget election, get down
to business and talk prosperity." ;
AI ' Sternberg, clothing , merchant
and wool buyer, says:.- "Forget it.
Make the best of what we have. The
country is all right." ' i: -1, '
1 G.; A.-' Flood, prominent drygoods
merchant and 'supporter of Chas. E.
Hughes, stated that:; "While T. sup
ported the candidacy of Mr. Hughes,
believing that it would be for the best
interest of the- country, I am for
President Wilson. L believe that the
Republican party would have ,meant
better times, because Mr. Hughes is
a clear thinker and a better business
man than Mr. Wilson. But since it.
is all over we will get down; to busi
ness again, give President Wilson our
united support,' and make the coming
four years the besti they have ever
been." '' ; ' - ;
