Main Medford MXH. TRIBUNE 1 living in Medf ord, has filed a civu auit asking tne Muitnoman County circuit court to deter mine which of two women is his legal wife and entitled to share in the income from the sale of his Curry county timber. The bank brought suit against Thornton and his present wife, Ruby E. Huber, whom it said he married at Skamania March 16 1956. Ruby E. Huber last week filed suit against him for separate maintenance on charges of gen eral acts of cruelty through her attorney. O. H. Bengtson, of Medford. Bengston said the second Mrs Thornton is asking the court for possession of his house, automo bile, furniture and $800 a month living expenses, since she alleg es she is unable to do physical labor. She is also asking the court $2,500 In court and attor ney fees, Bengtson said. Declared Incompetent The Portland Trust bank, how- ever, contended the marriage was not legal on the ground Thornton had been declared in competent by Eureka, Calif., au thorities, that his present wife knew of the declaration, and that she married him while it was in effect. It also contended in the suit that Thornton was married to Ida Whipple July 9 ,1931, at Gold Beach, that they had five chil dren, four of whom are living and that they were not divorced They were reported to have been separated for some time. Th bank asked the court for a decree as to whether Ruby E Huber is the legal wife of Thorn- tion and whether the bank is justified in giving her any of the funds held for Thornton. Thornton, an Indian, received over a million dollar share of his mother's two million dollar estate at Gold Beach, Calif., when she died. The other half of the estate went to Thornton's brother. He met his present wife in the Holland hotel about the first of the year, where she was a cook. In her complaint she states they were married March 16, in Stev enson, Wash. Bengston will de fend her against the claims of the Portland Trust bank in Portland June 11. , FRIGHTENED PEOPLE SCARE LION Madrid, Spain (U.R A lion ess which escaped from a busy American circus wandered into one of Madrid's busiest streets and terrorized hundreds of pass ersby Friday.
