PROSECUTED HER HUSBAND
So NJ. Andrew Gets Divorce
and Welcome Relief
HIRED SMALL BOY TO FOLLOW HIM
SHE EVEN TRIED By MAIN
STRENGTH TO MAKE HER
HUB LOVE HER.

PORTLAND, March 4.-Charles B.
Andrew was granted a divorce from
Mrs. Ella G. Andrew by Judge Frazer
in the circuit court this morning after
a week of one of the most sensational
divorce trials ever heard in the local
court. Judge Frazer said that he was
forced to the conclusion that Andrew
had told the truth, and that Mrs. An
drew had not.
This woman has shown an ability in
the way of making diabolical accusa-
tions that is astounding" said the
judge in announcing his decision. Her
thing have ever read in fiction"
Andrew had based his suit for di-
vorce on allegations Of cruel and in
human treatment. Various sensational
episodes were charged by Andrew
among them that his wife had crawled
through the transOm over the door OF
his Office, had followed him into a sa-
loon and had threatened to commit sui
eide and send him her dead body for a
Christmas present. Detectives from
the Portland hotel, where Mrs. Andrew
lived after she and her husband sepa-
rated, testified that they had heard the
sound of kisses in her room near the
hour of midnight. Andrew said his
wife had promised to cease her perse-
cution if he would give her his prop
erty.
Sensational Charges.
All these charges were fatty denied
by Mrs. Andrew, and counter charges
of still more sensational nature made
She accused him of infidelity, saying

And Now Man Who Conducted Court
ship on Long Distance, May
Go to the Pen.

COLFAX, Wash, March 4.-F'reder-
ick A. Uhrich of Lewiston, Idaho, and
Miss Lillian Anderson of COlfax, were
united in marriage In this city. Uh'
rich was manager Of the telephone
service at Lewiston and Miss Ander
son held a position in the local tele-
phone office. The courtship, accord
ing TO report. was commenced over
the g-distance telephone, and Gull
minated in the marriage OF the couple
as above stated They immediately
left for Omaha. Monday the friends
and acuuaintsnces of Mrs. Uhrich,
(nee Anderson) were surprised when
thew learned that she had telegraphed
her mother, Mrs H. Harper, for none!
to come home on, in fact, stating that
she didn't have enough money with
which to buy the next meal. The mon
ey was telegraphed and the young lady
will soon be under the parental roof
again.
Fran all that can be gathered Uh
rich is a graceless scamp. He held
good position with the telephone com
nany at Lewiston, and is said to have
been short in his accounts in the
neiehborhood of $1,000. This sum the
bonding company has made good, and
there was a report that he was under
arrest at Omaha, but this could not

man has led a fast life at Lewiston
wine and the gambling table being al
hiring attractions. The deficiency, or
most of it. it is said, was spent be-
fore his marriage He is said to have
had only money enough to take the
two to Omaha. He was in great
hurry to leave here, and told his young
wife that he had won $500 at cards
and that they were after him, and in
order to avoid trouble he desired to
leave town as soon as the ceremony
was performed, which was done. 1t is
now apparent that he did not want to
| sace the charges of defalcation.
Urich has a widowed mother who
lives at Spokane. 1t is said she has
offered to give up her home (all she
has) to the bonding company in order
to save her son from going to the
penitentiary. The full facts in the
case will probably come to light in
few days. That he is stranded in the
Nebraska city is apparent, and thai

that his affections had been won by a
woman physician, Mrs. Jennie Bowen,
and that the. only reason Andrew
wanted a divorce was to allow him to
marry Mrs. Bowen.
Mrs. Andrew testified that she had
EMPLOYED a small boy to play the de-
tectiye for her and follow Andrew about
the city; that she had found Andrew
and Mrs. Bowen in compromising posi-
lions at Andrews office; that she had
gone to his office at night and copied
letters written to him by Mrs. Bowen,
and had employed lineman to tap
telephone wires and had listened to
conversations between Mrs. Bowen and
Andrew.
Judge Frazer reviewed the testimony
of both parties, declaring at the outset
that either Andrew was most de-
PRAYED individual and Mrs. Andrew
most extraordinarily affectionate, or
Mrs. Andrew had shown ability in the
way of making diabolical accusations
that was astounding. The judge point
ed out many discrepancies in Mrs. An
drew's story, and said that whenever
other witnesses gave testimony on mat
tiers in which Andrew and Mrs. Andrew
contradicted each other, the cOrObor-
ating testimony was always in favor of
Andrew.
Strenuous Love Making.
Mrs. Andrew had been particularly
strenuous in following her husband
and trying by main strength to make
him love her. 1t appears to the court
that no woman would have thus pur-
sued any man except for the purpose
of annoying him."
The court found that Mrs. Andrew
had struck her husband, and had sub
mitted him to all the prosecutions COM
planned of. Judge Frazer said that if
all the accusations made against An
drew regarding his relations with Mrs.
Bowen were true, it was unfortunate at
least that Mrs. Andrew had no testi-
mony in addition to her own to prove
the many meetings at various places In
the city that were charged. He said
that he believed RI. Joseph rather than
Mrs. Andrew where their testimony
conf1icted, and that the story Of the
tapped telephone wires was at least
highly improbable.
The couple were married in Denver
Colorado, in 1890. Andrew was form
erly prominent attorney of La Porte,
Indiana He said that his wife had
begun heaping indignities on him in
larly to an attempt to obtain $4,000
from her grandfather's estate by ques-
tiOnable means.

-: The Boundless Charity of the West -

GOODLAND, Kan, March All the
inhabitants of this town Clipped in for
special train yesterday to carry their
pastors baby to Denver for treatment
Billy Bruno, the 5-year- old, had fallen
into a tub of scalding water, and they
solved the problem in the most direct
way possible. This is the latest eX-
ample of the western spirit" which is
simple phrase meaning unbounded
loyalty in trouble and unbounded SYM
pathy. The loyalty is the kind that
doesn't stop at the pocketboOk.
Goodland is a collection of houses on
the Kansas prairie, where the farmers
try to make a living weekdays and go
to church regularly Sundays. There's
only one minister in town, because
they regulate those matters better out
here than they do in the small villages
of the eastern states. There are not
enough families to support representa-
tiveS to all the denominations, and it
would be mighty hard to tell exactly
what organized church would claim the
Rev r. A. Bruno His sermons are not
very doctrnal. They don't trouble the
nearer very much with "predestinatiOn"
and salvation through faith and that
sort of thing. But they seem to have
the knack of bringing the farmers and
the occasional cattlemen back Sunday
after Sunday.
Pastor and Family Won Everybody.
Perhaps it's the reverend gentleman's
way of looking carefully the other way
when he comes across the members
when they backslide at the saloon
open door, and the more than occa-
sional meal Mrs. Bruno cooks for the
cattleman off the range and long spell
at the chuck wagon that does it. Any
how the people Of GoOdland think they
drew four aces when Bruno and his
wife camped down here, the other aces
being a girl Of 16 who is ''prettier than
the pictures of Evelyn Thaw', accord
ing to the station master, and the little
chap whose mishap stirred the town
| from center to circumference.
Mrs. Bruno does her weekly washing
on F'ridays-why no one has ever been
able to find out. In fact this idiosyn-
Grassy causes more discussion than in
+, FAINT damnatiOn.
Yesterday she was hard at it. San
DIV" Horton, of the Double Triangle out
fit, was obligingly turning the crank OF
the washing machine and shifting the
air eagerly. Dinner was toward and
the crafty Sandy" hadn't forgotten
the chicken fricassee of "a former occa-
sion. His first COW pony nibbled about

bride, which meant to the horse thai
he was tied and mustn't go far. Or

RAILROADS WILL
 FIGHT 2-CENT RATE.

The 2-eent rate bill passed by the Arkansas General Assembly and signed by Acting Governor Moore will go into effect April 2, and at the present time 1t is stat ed on good authority that the railroads have not fully de- eided oH their line of action. The bill will be fought in the courts. This much is certain, but whether the railroads will submit to the law until the case has been decided IS not known. It IS understood that railway of fieialS wish to take all the time possible before deciding upon this matter.
 At present no printed tariffs based on a 2-cent rate have been prepared. In the Rock Island offices this work is underway, and when the rate becomes effee- tive this road will be prepared, regardless of the course adopted. The re-making of the Iron Noun tain sheets will be done at the roads headqua rterS in St. Louis, and nothing definite can be learn ed. It is probable, however, that the preparations of this road are in the same stage.
 There is no doubt that the 2 cent rate will be fought in court After the conclusion of a recent meeting of railway attorneys at St. Louis this much was definite ly announced. The lawyers de- clared that the rate was confiSca- tory i:1 it's nature, i'll as much as 1t would damage the value of property, and the attorneys gave the opinion that 1t might be sue cessfully attacked in court on this ground.
 In the event that the roads do not put rates on d reduced basis, an injunction will be asked re- straining the state from enforcing the law. Should the preliminary injunction be granted roads oper- ating in this state and parties to the injunction would be put un- der a heavy bond to cover losses sustained by passengers, and could then run trains on Scent basis until the petition to have the in'unctlons made perpetual was heard. The fight for the permanent injunction would rest upon the ground of unconstltu- tionality. and in the event 1t was lost would probably be carried to the highest tribunals.
 The fight-on the obnoxious rate bills has opened up in Ne braska, Mississippi and Alabama, but at present no case has been decided. In Mississippi the low er rate was ordered by the rail- road commission, and an iniune- tion is now being sought against them in the Missis- sippi courts of Nebraska and All abama against the states.
 That the railroads have not prepared for the going into ef- feet of the 2-eent rate cannot be taken as d sure indication that they will not submit to 1t at all. In Nebraska the new rate went
