VICTIM OF BIGAMY
IN SAN FRANCISCO
Second Marriage of George
Marsh, Who Deserted Army,
Revealed in Divorce Case
[SeeeioI Dispateh 10 The Call


BOSTON. Nov. 6.--A surprise was
sprung in the superior court at Brock
ton today when it became known dur
ing the divorce trial of his wife that
George L. Marsh of Brockton was also
named as defendant in annulment pro-
.eeedings brought by San Francisco
girl, who says that she married Marsh
without knowing that he had wife in
the east
Mrs. Marsh No. l. who was Miss Lena
NJ Kennedy. was granted her decree on
the ground of desertion During the
proceedings it was brought out that an
attorney representing the San Francisco
girl had been in Brockton more than a
week securing affidavits and other data
to be used at the annulment hearing in
the San Francisco courts.
Marsh. although a native of Brock
ton. has had rather spectacular ca
reer. Five years ago he was arrested
and charged with the murder of Chi
cago chauffeur, who was found dead
in an auto few miles from the Windy
City. Witnesses failed to identify
Marsh as the ehauheur's companion on
the night of the murder and Marsh
was released.
Shortly after his release he was re-
arrested by United States marshal
as a deserter from the army. He was
later released on account of physical
infirmity. His relatives in Brockton
deny that he is a bigamist. He is be-
lieved to be in the northwest.

eight awards, which entities it to the
honor of being the greatest prize
winning orchard in the United States.
No enterprise offers surer and more
attractive profits or more healthful
and pleasant occupation than the ap-
pie growing industry and there will
never be an over-production of first
class apples, as eastern states and
European markets are drawing more
and more upon the orchards of Idaho,
because of the Incompatible excel
lence of it's apples, and because Of
the fast diminishing production of
the crop in the eastern states.
Apples, peaches, pears, prunes and
apricots attain the height of perfec-
ton in this valley. Fruits grown by
irrigation are highly favored and will
keep better than fruit grown where
the rain touches the growing fruit.

Melted a profit of over 800 per acre.
There is no possibility of over pro-
duction or an unwilling market, as
the crop is contracted for in advance
and the money invaribly paid upon
the delivery of the beets.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are paid to farmers during the sea-
son of sugar-making.
HARD WHEAT.
The establishment of the largest
Touring mill in Idaho at Caldwell, re-
Gently, is calculated to wonderousIy
stimulate the growing of hard wheat,
as it's capacity is far in advance of the
production in this section, and as it
pays the highest cash market price
for the raw material. Oats and bar
ley produce as fine crops here as in
any part Of the world.
CLIMATE.
Caldwell and vicinity are rooted
with sky giving over 300 sunshiny
days yearly.
Our climate warns and nurses all
vegetable life to luxuriant growth,
has most salutary effect on the sheep
and cattle industries, and greatly
lengthens the lease Of life Of health
seekers.

measured and sold in the stack at
$4.75 per ton, bringing $2436.75. The
land being rented on halves, brought
SIS an acre cash rent, out of which
taxes and water assessment was paid
amounting to about $1.25 per acre"
This is a good local market for all
products, and in most instances the
amount produced is totally inadequate
to supply the demand.
