ASSAULTED HIS WIFE.
Ed switxler Raises Disturbance at His
Home in Pendleton

Ed switxler Raises Disturbance at His
Home in Pendleton.
Ed. Switzler, known in Athena,
brutally assaulted and mistreated his
wife at their home in Pendleton early
Saturday morning. Mrs. Switzler
has commenced proceedings for di-
vorce. Concerning the assault the
East Oregonian of Saturday says:
Residents of Water street were
awakened at O'Clock this morning by
the screams of woman issuing from
the home of Ed Switzler, the we'll
known tinhorn gambler, and before
the neighbors could realize swhat was
going on, Mrs. Switzler rushed ont Of
her home and on to the street closely
followed by her husband.
He overlook her in front of the resi-
dence of Major Lee Morehouse, and in
a few seconds all the neighbors in
that vicinity were gathered around
them, and friends were endeavoring
to make Switzler stop abusing his
wife, who exhibited evey sign Of
agitation and fear.
It is alleged that Switzler came
home from his gambling debauch and
Immediately began abusing his wife
and accusing her. Her screams and
appeals to him awakened the neigh
bors and the greatest excitement pre-
vailed in that vicinity for few min
utes.
Switzler was seized by friends and
held until he became quieted, when
he returned to his home. Mrs. Switz-
Ter went to the home of W.. T. Ayers,
where she told, with almost breaking
heart, the story of her drunken hus-
bands abuse and assault upon her.
Switzler is one of the leading tin
horns of Pendleton and has been on a
drunk for several days and in his
moIose mood has accused his wife,
who is an estimable lady, in the most
disgusting manner.
Mrs. Switzler has host of friends
in Pendleton and the sympathy ex-
pressed for her is universal, but little
liberation is shown for her husband.
II is possible that complaint of wife
beating will be lodged against Switz-
Ter

siderably loser, inasmuch as her bust
ness men are placed at disadvantage
in not having an equal chance with
business men of adjacent towns who
are allowed to keep their places of
business open on Sunday. Finding
business houses closed here, customers
went to towns not closed and pur-
chased supplies. Dollars count in
business, and if the other fellow gets
them it is their bills that are paid
below and you have to hustle or
make an assignment. This is about
the way the situation looks to the
average business man in Athena.
The saloon man thinks it only matter
of right that if the Sunday closing
law is enforced against him, he has
the privilege of seeing that it is en-
forced against others and Sunday was
an object lesson of the practical en-
forcement of this privilege. The
wonder of all concerned is where it
will end. Is Athena, already knock
ed" on every side, to be made the
scapegoat CT other towns of the coun-
ty from business point of view by
being placed and kept under the clos
ing ban while other towns, always
competing for trade in Athena terri
tory under normal conditions, are
given the mailed hand of preference
and prestige? Or is the Civic League,
said to be county organization, using
Athena as starting point" to be
relied upon to keep the ball rolling to
the extent of closing up saloons in
other tonws of the county? Should
the League continue its work, and
saloon men in other towns elect to
exercise the privilege of closing bust
ness houses, then the Athena business
man would be treated fair and equal
otherwise he is taking the short end
of it. It's up to the League to dem
onstrate practically whether it is a
county organization or purely local in
its effectiveness No one can have
objection with application of its
methods to the county as whole,
but to close up one town and leave
others open is policy that will wreck
itself of its own weight. Athena has
been closed, other towns are open, and
it's up to the league to proceed.
