At THE HANDS OF SLAYER, c. H. REYNOLDS

PORTLAND, June 26.-An opal, the
stone of ill-luck and disaster. cast it's
baleful shadow over George H. Hib-
bins and. linked with the uneXpIa1n-
able premonitions of Charles H. Rey-
nolds, brought murder into the house
hold of the old-t time scout.
Such is the belief of the superstitious
who have learned of Mrs. Reynolds
gift to Hibbins, a short time prior to
his death, of a beautiful opal pin, which
he wore when Reynolds revolver
found him invading the battle proprie-
tors home.
Charles H. Reynolds was arraigned
before Judge Clelanj in the circuit

attorney the prisoner asked for an ex-
tension of time in which to plead and

BIG SPRAY IS
BEING WORKED

conditions for spraying could not
be better" Mr.. Whitney said this noon.
The trees are just right and we will
catch every moth. Now is the proper
time and we are making good use of
the opportunity to destroy the apple
pests"
Work at the Whitney orchard is
progressing in fine shape. Better time
is being made than the last time
Spraying was begun this morning and
will be completed this afternoon. To-
morrow the work is to be continued
on the Offner place and the Lennon
orchard will then be covered with the
mist so deadly to the Goblin.
Only about One-half as much arsenic
of lead is used in this application of
the solution as is used the first time
the trees are covered The spray is
applied until the trees are ready to
drip at which time enough of the
fluid has reached the apple to effectu-
ally destroy the dreaded moth. The
object of the spraying is to cover the
apple with fine coat of the lead prep
aratiOn. This destroys not only the
moth on the spple, but protects Il
against further ravageS.

who paid the price of her caresses
with his life.
Through his att.~aey Reynolds has
made a statement delving into the
tragedy. Over him, he says, there
brooded a terrible something uncon-
trollable and urging him on to des-
perate acts.
Yet now that it is past Reynolds
holds his wife innocent of serious
wrong, and believes that she had re-
sisted and was only slowly yielding to
the insidious arts of Hibbins, who
sought her continually.
According to the statement made by
Reynolds, some black foreboding pre-
sentiment of impending trouble
wrapped about him on Friday morn
ing. the day Hibbins reached Portland.
He tried to shake the feeling off but
could not, and when later his children
told him of seeing Hibbins and Mrs.
Reynolds in each others arms he knew
that the warning had not been sent in
va;n
Reynolds, months ago had intercept
ed letters written by Hibins to Mrs.
Reynolds and had found them over
flowing with endearing terms. He had
demonstrated with his wife, and she
had explained the language satisfac-
torlly to him. At his suggestion she
had written Hibins telling him she

said it was born as a result of the

us especially obnoxious. Everything
was done to discredit our motives and
cause disensiOnS in our ranks
There was never an inner circle as
has been charged" said Boyce en-
phatically.
He recited a number of times denials
that members of the executive COM

murder. He is no longer connected

NEW LAW MAKES HUSBAND LIABLE
TO PENALTY IN DIVORCE CASES

A new provision affecting divorce
cases which was enacted by the last
legislature went into effect June II,
whfchh. according TO Prosecuting At
torney Rupp will likely have the effect
of reducing the perjury which pre-
walls in a large number of divorce
cases instituted by women of this state.
The title of the new provision reads,
IAN act to prevent and punish family
desertion or nonsupport and TO pro-
vide for support bonds and for suspen-
sion of trial and sentence.
1t is the purpose of the act to pro-
vide punishment where it is brought
ont in the divorce suit that the hus-
hand has failed to properly provide
for his wife and family. The punish
ment for such offense may run from
light fine to confinement in the pen;-
tentiary for a period of three year"
This applies only to cases where no
lawful excuse for desertion can be
shown. and where it is proved the WIFE
is in destitute circumstances.

courts. Attorney Rupp states that in
cases which come under this provi-
sion and the offender can be reached
without great expense, the prosecu-
ton will unfailingly be made. He
doubts, however, the wisdom of send
ing to the other side of the continent
for such an offender, especially he
says. in view of the fact that a large
number of the divorce cases which
come up, originate merely from the de-
sire on the part of women to be oI-
vOrced from one man that they may
marry another.
There is he says, no desire on their
part as rule. to inf1ict punishment
upon the man from Hhom they wish to
be separated.
To avoid doing 80 under the new
provision, it will be Necessary to find
some other excuse for having the mar
ital bonds severed.
In other counties steps are being
taken to revive old divorce cases in
order TO prosecute under the charge OF
desertion.
