WAS FORCED TO MARRY.
Crookston Couple Separated After q
Month of Married Life.

Carl Kraus of Crookston has started
an action for divorce from his wife
Catherine c. krauss. The case is
sensational in its statements and the
plaintiff gives as his grounds an in
tention on the part of the defendant to
defraud. The story began years ago
IN Russia when the couple we're boy
and girl together. At the age of twelve
Catherine and her parents came to
this country and have since resided
at Crookston. Carl Krauss came over
In 1902 but in that time he had not
forgotten his Russian playmate. The
parties both resided in Crookston and
on Sept. they were married. Hardly
year has elapsed before the husband
Is suing for divorce. He claims that
In August, 1905, Mrs. Kraus had him
arrested and taken before Judge Nc
Lean claiming that he was the father
of her unborn child. Believing this
to be the case an dto save the girls
reputation Krauss married her and
took her to his fathers home to live.
Hardly a month had elapsed before
the infant was born and it lived but
four months. Krauss asserted that
the child was not his and the couple
separated. Both parties are very
young, Kraus being 81 and his wife
only 10. He claims that at the time
she had him arrested, she knew he was
not the parent of the child. 1t is the
same old story with the same unhappy
ending.
The Daily Fire.
1t is indeed a dull day when there
Is no fire alarm in this city. The one
this morning occurred about 10 o'clock
and was in a load of hay standing by
A. o. Lystad's barn. The hay was
loaded on wagon and had been
drawn to the barn last night shortly
after o'clock. 1t stood close against
the building, and the fire started mar
the middle of the load lengthwise and
at the bottom near the rack. 1t was
discovered by John McComas, who
was hauling manure from a nearby
barn. When he drove his team from
behind the building by which he was
loading, he discovered the fire. He
gave the alarm and with the assist
ance of some others pulled the wagon
into the street. where it was destroyed.
When he saw the fire it had probably
been burning two or three minute i,
but no one was near it at the time.
The position of the wagon and hay
was such that the fire could not have
been started except by some one
crawling under the load. The sides of
the barn were badly scorched and in a
few minutes the building would have
been a mass of flames.

A Runaway. :,
One of the heavy teams belonging to
the Gund Brewing company concluded
to do race stunt on DeMers avenue
this morning and started on the west
side, giving some drivers on the bridge
considerable scare in getting out Of
the way. The team raced up DeMers
avenue, but their weight made the
progress decidedly slow. A couple Of
fruitless efforts were made to stop
them. but they refused to be signaled.
When the team passed the Office one
of the drivers succeeded in getting on
the wagon, but found one of the lines
broken and was unable to stop the
team The horses ran to the barn.
where they stopped of their own ac-
cord. No damage was done.

School Opens
With Four Teachers

School began here Monday vita the
several departments well organized,
Notwithstanding the vexatious annoy
ances which the board had experien-
ced in securing teachers, two who
had been regularly employed and who
had sent their acceptances having
violated their agreements only few
days before school was to begin.
Prof. Joubert's assistant in the hich
school is Miss Nellie Kennedy, of
Tacoma, recent graduate of the
state university. The intermediate
department is in charge of Miss Re-
becca Harrison, who has tanght sew
eral yeals in eastern Washington
and holds first-grade certi1 ate.
She spent the past year in San Fran
cisco studying at the Hopkins Insti-
tute o. Art and was there at the time
of the earthquake. The primary de-
partment is presided ever by Miss
Blanche Gordon, of Bellevue, King
county, who comes here well recon-
mended by the superintendent OF the
King county schools and the Pacific
Teachers Agency. She is a gradu-
ate of the Seattle high school and has
had some special normal training.

COURT AWARDS
CHAS. MCKAY $3.50
DAMAGES FOR susTArN.
ED IN FALLING FROM BRIDGE
Held To Be Liable For Lack
OfRa1lings Even Though the Plain-
tiff Was Fully Aware of the Defect
Case May Be Appealed to the
Supreme Court.
JOINER rendered his de-

D0G 0OA1NAAs ICAOCI0u Ills uc~
cision in the Mckay damage
case Wednesday,, giving Mr.. Mckay
judgment against the county for
$4,000 for damagee sustained last
January in falling from the bridge
on First street, Friday Harbor.
The decision was rendered orally
and the ISLANDER for that rea-
son is able to give only the substance
of it. The court holds that while the
bridge was safe enough for ordinary
travel, it's use as part of the only
thoroughfare connecting the business
part of the town Of Friday Harbor
with one Of the principal residence
sections of the town made it incum-
bent upon the county to provide sub
stantial ratings along the sides Of
the bridge to protect pedestrians
from falling off. AS to the slight ir-
regularity Of the planks along the
side of the bridge from which Mr..
Mckay fell the judge holds that it
was not material defect, but in his
opinion the absence of ratings was.
He is further of the opinion that Mr..
McKay's admitted knowledge OF the
lack Of ratings and of the danger
that he incurred in attempting to
cross when he did, without a light,
was not contributory negligence to
such an extent as to debar him from
the right to recover damages.
Prosecuting Attorney Wynn says
that in rendering his decision Judge
Joiner reviewed the case fully and
fairly, but nevertheless Mr.. Wynn
will advise an appeal to the supreme
court for the reason that there are
one or two important points involved
upon which that tribunal has not yet
passed.
Mr.. Mckay is naturally somewhat
with the amount OF dam
ages awarded him, for the reason
that after paying his attorneys one
half, if the judgment is affirmed, ac-
cording to his agreement with them,
he will have left less than the amount
which the commissioners offered him
to settle the matter without taking
it into court.
