HAD SICK WIFE
INSURE HER LIFE
STRANGE ALLEGATIONS
IN DIVORCE SUIT
Anna B. Richardson's Says Husband
Persuaded Her TO Have Her Life
Insured and Then Told Her He Did
Not Care If She Died-Cruelty In
Various Forms Is Also Alleged.

When she was sick-very sick
her husband told her she ought to gel
her life insured so he could have the
money when she died, says the COM
plaint of Anna B. Richardson, who
for this and other alleged instances OF
cruel and inhuman treatment wants
a divorce from John G. Richardson.
According 10 the complaint Rich
ardson's methods of cruelty were
nothing if not refined. The wife
complains that for the last five years
her husband has refused to converse
with her except to scartstically find
fault.
On one occasion, the complaint sets
forth, the husband became angry
when his wife was assisting him to
corral some horses, and seizing the
tongue of their buggy attempted to
run her down with the vehicle. Yet
again, the complaint charges, when
the wife was frightened at a time
when the neckyoke of their hack fell
to the ground and the horses were
restless. the husband told his help
meet that it made no difference if
she was killed, anyway
There are two children. Pauline
and Alton, of whom the wife wants
custody. Also she desires one half
the estate, which amounts to land
worth $4,000 and $4,000 worth of
implements as set forth in
he complaint.
Another divorced asked. and this
IN grounds of desertion, is by H. ]. |
Flescher who desires dissolution of
he bonds of matrimony which unite
,im to Eleanor Fleischner by whom
lie has. the complaint alleges, been
or the last five years deserted.

PRESENT ROAD
LAW IS GOOD
SUCH Is THE OPINION OF
STATE SENATOR SMITH.
Doctor Thinks Present Statute Is
More Efficient Than One Vetoed by
Governor Chamberlain Two Years
Ago - Eastern Oregon Now Pays
for Roads Built Here, Not Some
where Else.

That the present district road law
is a good one and is much better for
this section of the state than would
be a. measure similar to the Johnson
bill, vetoed by the governor two years
ago, Is believed by Senator C. j,
Smith.
should we have a law drafted
along the lines OF the Johnson BILL"
said Senator Smith this morning. II
means that eastern Oregon counties
will be paying for roads that will be
built elsewhere. We would be paying
out money every year and it would be
many years before we would receive
any benefit. The present law. is bet
ter for the people OF eastern Oregon. 3"
fine District Law.
Under the terms OF the present law
the people of a road district may
provide for road improvement at
their own option. The road district
includes property within a radius of
two miles on either side of the road
and also takes in property one mile
beyond either terminus. When the
improvement is decided upon by the
residents of the district bonds are
voted and the cost of the improve
ment is levied upon the property of
the district.
This law places road improvements
on practically the same basis as
street improvements in this city, the
cost is paid by the abutting property
owners.
Furthermore, under the law town
property is also assessed for district
road purposes since towns will usual
ly lie within the one mile terminal
limit.
For instance, should new road be
desired between this place and Helix
the expense of making the road would
fall upon the people along the road
and upon thestown property of Helix
and In Pendleton.
Though this district road law has !

An amended complaint, in which
N. w. Thompson is specifically
charged with conspiring to help de-
fraud other prominent northwestern
stockmen who were victims of the
huge horse swlndle perpetrated by
Major Ferris, the Lamb brothers
George Sheldon and w. r. Clemans
was filed yesterday in the circuit
court. -
The allegations In the amended
complaint are along similar lines TO
those of the original pleading. ex-
cept asking more equitable relief, and
bringing Thompson of the Palo Alto
farm more directly into the case. The
plaintiffs are ]. f. Mason. NJ. c.
Metz, A. C. Ruby. A. p. Miller. r. w.
Case, Kingsland Bros. j. E. Shindler
and w. ]. Hoaglund
The complaint specifies the value
OF certain animals sold originally to
the Idaho men. most OF which are now
In the custody of Receiver Thompson
in this city. and some $4,000 COM
missions which were paid over to
Clemans for making the sales. II
then goes on to show how the other
stockmen interested became scared OF
the notes given by the Idaho men
as payment for the stock. after they
had discovered that the purchases
amounted to more than a couple Of
animals. and how Thompson, the,
90 4
been victimized attached the stock;
how an. agreement was made by VIC
Tins and victimizers by which
Thompson was TO release his attach
ment, and the animals were to be
turned back to the original owners.
According to the allegations of the
complaint, as soon as the attach
ment was released Thompson took
the animals under pretended sale
and attempted to ship them to the
Palo Alto farm at Boise, en- route to
which point the animals were sceized
when coming within the jurisdiction
OF the present court. The complaint
charges that Thompson did not pur-
chase the animals in good faith. that
he did not give good and valuable
consideration, but that he made an
agreement with Ferris, Sheldon and
the Lambs whereby he would pay
certain expenses to which they had
been put over the animals, and then
would sell the horses, be given the |
amounts due him for the animal orig |
inally sold them by him to them to-
gether with the amount of the note /,
given Clemans as commission. after |
which he was to receive 90 per cent
Of the amounts realized for the sale
Of the animals as commission. and |
was to return the remainder to the
four other alleged conspirators.
The complaint asks a decree re-
turning the horses to the original
owners. that where the original own
er can not be found, or where the
animals now I'm the hands of the re-
ceiver belong to the Idaho men they
shall be sold by the receiver and the
proceeds Of the sale be applied to re-
imbursing tn victims of the swindle
IN so far as possible for the amounts
paid out in commissions.

George Horseman is probably the
happiest man in the city of Pendle-
ton today, having received word this
morning that the supreme court had
granted him a new trial After a
lengthy trial, Horseman was found

diately gave notice of appeal to the
supreme court The appeal was ar
gued before the court when 1t met in
Pendleton recently and yesterdays de-
cision is the result.
The reversal of the decree is based
upon the refusal of the trial court to
admit evidence on the part of the de-
fendant. tending to prove self-defense.
The opinion is by Justice Moore
The particular evidence which it is
said Judge Bean refused to admit
were the threats made against Horse.
man by Cartwright, a relative of Nc
Broom. The opinion also holds that
the trial judge should have given the
jury the instructions requested by the
attorneys for the defense that the
threats and acts of Cartwright should
be considered by the jury.
District Attorney Phelps was out OF
town today and could not be seen but
it is believed the case will be tried
again at the next term of the circuit
court.
