Asks For Divorce
THINKS SHE TOOK THAT sl63
Charles E. Berg, Superintendent
Prison Brick Yard Under
Charges by Wife

Charles E. Berg, superintendent OF
the brick yard at the state penitenti-
airy, was made a defendant in sensa-
tional divorce proceedings commenced
by Mrs. Berg in the superior court this
morning. Mrs. Berg's allegations
range all the way from personal
abuse she says she has received at
the hands of Mr.. Berg to being ac-
cused of taking the s163 stolen from
the Berg residence at $40 North
street a few weeks ago.
Mr. Bergs violent temper, 1t ap-
pears, has been the disturbing ele-
ment in their domestic relations Mrs.
Berg sets up in her complaint that
been exceedingly quarrelsome and
fault-finding toward her and has
wrongfully blamed and scolded her,
thereby making her very unhappy.
On the night of August 8, Mrs Berg
says her husband become exceeding
ly angry and violent and after abus-
ing her, rushed from the house. de-
claring he would never more return
to her and that he would not provide
for her support any longer.
After this outbreak she says he no
titled various merchants around town
not to give her any further credit on
his account and also published a sim
liar notice in the Walla Walla Union.
On the night Of August 10. Mrs.
Berg says he cut up so badly that the
whole neighborhood was scandalized
at his actions. AS a climax to her hu-
initiation she says Mr. Berg PRACTICAL
ly accused her of stealing the 1853
taken from their home by unknown
parties a few weeks ago.
Mrs. Berg says that prior to her
marriage to Mr.. Berg four years ago
she was the widow of A. S. Gear, de-
ceased. and is the mother Of two
sons. She asks that the court give her
the custody of the two children and
that Mr.. Berg pay her alimony of $40
a month She says he earns $85
month as superintendent of the brick
yard and is well able to pay that sum

The G. A. r. will elect a commander

next encampment today
Brown of Ohio, leads for Tanner s
chair. Ireland is likely to be the next
chaplain chief.
Commander Tanner gave his annual
address. He said in part:
"Despite 5000 deaths, which led me
to expect a decrease was inevitable,
the G. A. r. last year, increased its
membership by $500. During last year
while the public conscience was out
ragged by the exposure of corruption
in high places the minutest investiga-
ton reveals the fact that not one vet
eran of the civil war was among the
fallen and guilty.

the appeal for funds for the relief of
San Francisco. 1 hope Memorial day
will be kept sacred and 1 desire all to
work for the suppression of ball games
races and other sports on that day.
I'VE are assured of the cooperation
to all possible extent of the presi-
dent in securing $12 monthly for all
veterans and $12 for all widows, al
though it will take s34O0O,O0O from
the treasury at the very start"
The commander referred to the ac-
cident in which his wife was killed
He paid a touching tribute and said
nothing in his life had ever crushed
him so, not even the great loss at Bull

The cause of the explosion is not def

furnished the clue.
1t is thought the boy fired into the
car or a box of dynamite causing the

The dynamite was being unloaded
