GREED BREAKS
Up HIS HOME
YOUNG FARMERS ANXIETY TO
GET RICH FAST LOSES HIM
HIS WIFE AND CHILD BY
COURTS DECREE.

Had Jay Lyle, the young Ores
cent farmer who was so intent on
getting rich that he had no time
for his family, been more thought,
full in this particular he might not
have seen the accumulation of his
years of toll on the farm swept
away in divorce proceedings and
his home rent asunder. Lyle, from
the evidence In the case. was so
engrossed in making money that
he was too busy to show much at
tention to his family, and friction
arose in consequence which has
now come to an unhappy termina-
ton in the divorce court.
The Lyle divorce suit, in which
at its trial nearly the whole of the
population of the Crescent neigh
borhood va called as witnesses,
has been passed upon by Judge D..
H. Carey of Colville, who tried the
case in November.
In the pleadings the plaintiff,
Mrs. Nina Lyle, charged the hus.
band with cruel treatment in COM
polling her to work like a man,
cleaning hos pens and stables.
feeding hogs and doing all sort of
farm work. The husband, in
cross bill, charged the wife with
p immortality.
Neither party at the trial was
made to appear quite as black as
they had painted each other in
their pleadings and Judge Carey
tried to effect a reconciliation, but
the woman refused to accept It.
The husband was willing to start
in new again and forget the. past.
Theh points at issue were the di-
vorce, custody of the son, aged
two, and a division of the property
valued at $4,000. In passing on the
case Judge Carey said neither
party was as bad as pictured, and
that the husband had failed to
show that his wife was immoral
In the eyes of the court, the worst
that could be charged against her
was indiscretion. To give the hus-
band the decree would reflect on
the character of the woman, said
the court, and this would place a
stigma on the child.
The court said that the mother
was the proper person to raise
child so long as her character was
good, and in view of these facts
gave Mrs. Lyle the decree on the
ground of cruel treatment, and also
the custody of the child so long as
she conducts herself above re-
proach. She was ordered to per-
NIT the husband to visit the child
at any time and take the little one
home with him from time to time
Both parents were warned against
prejudicing the mind of the child
against each other, in order that
the son might be permitted to
grow up with the love and respect
for his father and mother that was
due them.
In the property settlement the
court gave Mrs. Lyle $4,000, to be
paid in easy installments; 1926 at
torneys' fees, and $3.50 per year for
the support of the child.

usual stir around the club these

nary Is, Joe Reager got into
shape, then announced he would
be unable TO so. Thierault then
trained for few days, and found
that he could not so.
Eddie Mcfarland will go against
Dina Draga, 125 pound boxing; c.
H. Gesick, l45 pounds, and John
Adams. 1875 pounds, will represent
the club in wrestling.
Portland has not selected its

who announced he came. out here

But he put up good exhibition,
