PORTLAND, Nov. 11.-Rev. Payson
Young, central figure in the disappear
ance of Miss Edna Clark, Berkeley
art student, was divorced by his wife
in Portland six months ago.
1t was in May, 1907, that Mrs. Pay
son Young called at the office of a
Portland attorney and wanted d.
vorce. That was four months after
she had married the clergyman. The
woman was informed that under the
laws of Oregon she could not secure a
divorce until she had been a resident of
the state for a year.
Mrs. Young walked out of the office
ad exactly one year later, May 8, 1908,
she again visited the lawyer, told her
story and received her decree, Mr..
Young making no protest
According to Mrs. Young she met the
minister in a small town near Chey-
enne, Wyo. She was a widow. He
proposed marriage and was accepted.
They went to Denver for their honey
moon, he establishing her in one hotel
while he went to another.
The next day the marriage was per-
formed and they were to depart for Los
Angeles.
Had Los Angeles Church?
He is alleged to have represented
that he had congregation in a town
near the city of the Angels.
The day following Young told her
his money was all gone and proposed
that they remain in Denver until he
could draw on his account in Califor-
MIA Mrs. Young had money and with
it they proceeded to Los Angeles.
Young did not introduce his wife to
any of his friends. giving evasive ex-
cuses for his negligence.
Young said he had been given va
cation by his congregation. Mrs. Young
told her lawyer a story of illness and
of her later desertion by her husband
on May 13, the husband going to Oak
land, where she followed him. He in
structed her to come to Portland.
1t is alleged that ne deserted her
after she had given him 5000, and re-
fused longer to support him.
In discussing her disastrous matri-
monial adventure, Mrs. Young said she
found letters addressed to her husband
under various names and when she
spoke to him about it he replied that
he had his name changed legally. al
though the woman believes that Pay
son Young is not his correct name. The
preacher received many letters from
Canada, Illinois, Indiana, Florida and
the Atlantic seaboard states.
Mrs. Young was restored to her
maiden name of Selma M. johnson.

which has come TO our knowledge
is the bill of $1,000 for beef sent
to the board of education by Messrs.
Shepherd & Lilly 1t is not known
for what purpose the board of edu-
cation needed beef and one member
of the board remarked, that he
couldn't imagine why 81 was sent,
and says that this is bill which
at least one member OF the board
will not entertain. II the school
children are being supplied with
beef the appetites are quite small
or Messrs. Shepherd e Lilly are sell
Ing at remarkably low price. One
member OF the board OF education
says that the bill can be seen and
confesses his surprise at the re-
ceipt OF such statement. There
are some things funnier than those
