BECAUSE he P|MCAEO WIFE
Farmer Made Defendant N Novel
Divorce Suit

PORTLAND, Ore, April pa ma
mia for pinching his wife on the arm
gave rise to family troubles which re-
suited in the separation of Edward f.
Parrish, a we'll to do farmer of Linn
county, from Luella C. Parrish. If the
pinches had been gentle and loving
the wife would not have objected. but
Parrisn's hands are sinewy and the
thumb and finger squeezes left black
and blue marks.
Parrish's cruelty was set forth in a
complaint just filed in the circuit court
by the woman's attorney. Mrs. Par
IRISH does not want a divorce. but she
does want to be supported and her suit
was brought to compel Parrish to pay
her 500 per month for the mainte-
nance of herself and her two children.
The story Of the pinching is told as
part Of the plaintiffs explanation of
why she cannot live with the defend
ant.
The couple were married in Albany,
Oregon, 20 years ago. and lived to-
gether until three years ago. During
that three years the mother has sup
ported the two children, but now she
says that her resources have run out
and that she is too sisk to work. She
asks the court to issue a restraining
order preventing Parrish from dispos-
ing of his farm, the value Of which she
estimates at $4,000.

II minutes behind the sOuthbound
train. The auto reached Athena Slight
ly ahead of the train and Il race from

which they. were traveling- one of the
party decided to board the train at
Athena and did so. his place in the
touring car being taken by a pas
senger who volunteered fer the ride.
While speeding down Wild Horse
creek the auto car encountered two
rigs. One of tnem contained some la
dies who became. frightened and
jumped from their buggy. letting the
horses go. Some time was consumed
by the auto party in getting the team
quieted and as result the train ar
rived in this city slightly in the lead.
However. the auto made the entire run
from Walla Walla to Pendleton in what
is almost a record for that trip.
