MANY DIVORCES.
For Coming Term of Court-Two
New Cases Were Filed
Yesterday.

The coming term Of the circuit
court promises to break all records
in the matter of divorces. Two
new cases were filed yesterday,
which in addition to the four al
ready mentioned in the TIMES
raises the total up 10 six. In view
of the fact that it is less than three
months since there was a term of
circuit court, the grists at the d.
vorce mill show more thanthe usual
amount of domestic infelicity.
One of the new cases is that of
Mrs E. W. Fawver versus John
w. Fawver. The defendant is the
man who eloped with IS year.o old
Lilly Howard, residing a few miles
east of Monroe. They left their
homes at midnight and journeyed
down the Willamette in a row boat
to Salem where they were appre-
hended by the authorities and
Fawver put under $500 bonds on a
charge of adultery. This happen
ed December 18th, and the incident
is cited as grounds for the divorce.
The wife asks for $50 a month for
the maintenance Of herself and the
four children in the family.
In the other divorce filed yester-
day v. R. Moore, is plaintiff. and
the wife. Mrs. M. A. Moore is de.
