| but return to me and bring back my
baby" moaned Valasco yesterday as
he told his story to the officers at the
police station.
II love my wife and not once during
the ten years of our married life has
ever thoughts of another woman
crossed my mind. My thoughts were
all of her and of our little one. For
them l worked for them I fought and
now am left deserted.
Last Sunday l came home unex-
pectedly," continued Valasco, and
found a man in the house with my
wife. I chided my wife but she begged
me to forgive her. / agreed to do so
for the little one and for three days
she was as loving and affectionate as
even the most exacting husband could
wish.
"wednesday 1 started for work, but
something impelled me to turn back.
l went to our bedroom and hid. Then
| overheard a conversation between my
wife and ner sister. / heard my wife
tell her sister to keep quiet about
things she had been doing and my wife
also told our baby not to tell me in
case she saw anyone in the house.
-Tas overcome. but at last rushed forth
and accused my wife. She pleaded
with me and at last consented to for
get the past and cherish her again.
II told her, however, would report
the matter to the police and ask the
advice of the captain as to what steps
to take. This frightened her greatly,
and when I went to telephone she took
all the clothing belonging to her and
to the little girl and when 1 returned

SAYS DOG Is MERE CUR,
ONLY FIT TO BITE MEAT
Quarrel Between Neighbors Ends in
Lawsuit, but Woman's Case Is
Dismissed on Technical
Grounds

Seeking to collect $66.25 which she
claimed was due her Mrs. Nat Hen
derson filed a suit in Justice Pierce's
court against C. B. Laid yesterday.
The two interested persons are neigh
boring ranchers at Vernon.
Ladd denied he owed the woman any
money. He said he had loaned Mrs.
Anderson horse, an incubator and a
brooder and had rendered her $40 but
she refused it.
Mrs Anderson claimed Ladd owed
her S. for dog. Ladd says he wanted
vicious dog, but all the animal Sc
cured from Mrs. Anderson would do
was eat. 1.-THE pup was a yellow cur
and wouldn't bite anything but chunk
of meat" was the way Ladd explained
the matter. THE pup just strayed into

sued"
After hearing the testimony the judge
dismissed the case. Mrs. Anderson
failed to name her husband as one OF
the parties in the complaint and this
