HERM|STON MAN LOSES BOTH
HIS FARM AND HIS WIFE

mess affairs, while Nichols returned
to the homestead. The REIMBURSEMENT
matter had been fixed up in the mean
time. About two weeks ago the wife
arrived, accompanied by a daughter,
and took up her residence on the
farm, north of Hermiston.
1t seems that all went well for a
time, but recently according to re-
ports the bride informed her spouse
that she liked his farm first rate,
but liked his company not bit. Fur
thermore she invited him to shake the
dust of the premises off his feet and
never show his face there again. So
strongly did she insist upon the in
vitation of departure, that Nichols
left.
He promptly employed an attorney.
The belligerent wife also employed an
attorney. Through the mediation of
these men a meeting was arranged at
the farm yesterday. Nothing was
gained for the husband by the meet
ing, however, for the woman inform
ed him that she was in possession and
intended to remain there. She fur
ther declared tina a gun was in her
possession and that this weapon would
be the means by which he would meet
an untimely death If he ever attempts
to enter the doorway again.
And thus the matter stands.

director OF the experiment station at
the agricultural college; Prof. II. ID.
Scudder, the college agronomist, and

partment of agriculture.

of an investigation to ascertain the
exact conditions here and note the
progress which Is being made in the
work under the direction Of Mr.. New
ell. the government engineer in
charge. The farm is being fenced,
buildings are being erected and dis
tributing bitches are being built,
preparatory to putting water on the
land The visitors expressed them
selves as being highly pleased with
the conditions and the progress Of the
work
A reception was rendered the Wis

address to the settlers and others in
terested, who were present. He
declared it was the purpose of both
the government and state depart
ments to cooperate with the settlers
to the fullest extent in the develop
ment of the project He expressed
himself as being well pleased with
the conditions thus far and with the
spirit manifested by the actual set
tiers on the project as well as by the
residents of the town of Hermiston.
He asked for continuation of this
cooperation, and expressed the belief
that the highest hopes and ambitions
of the settlers would be realized.
The speaker also said that while a |
man had not been selected to be plac-
ed in charge of the farm that they
were now looking for man for this
position. Applications have been re-
ceived from Utah and also Colorado
and he said 1t was the intention to Sc
cure a man who was practical and
who had had experience in this line
of work. 1t is possible that man
will be brought from one of the older
projects and placed In charge as su-
perintendent.

Especial Correspondence


Hermiston, Ore, March &c. p.
Nichols of this place, wanted a farm.
He also wanted wife. To get the
farm he filed on a homestead under
the government project. To get the
wife he married Mrs. Matte Jenkins
of Seattle. The satisfying of both
wants, however, was apparently tenn
porary for now he has neither wife
nor farm.
1t seems that after filing on the
homestead Mr.. Nichols remembered
having previously used his homestead
right I'm oklahoma. He confided this
fact TO a few intimate friends and his
attorney. from whom he sought advice
as to the best means of retaining pos
session of his homestead. They ad-
vised him to get a wife and then re-
llndulsh his claim in her favor.
Acting on this advice he went to
Seattle and induced Mrs. Matte Jen-
kins. q business woman of that city,
to take his name and farm. Accord
ingly the two came to Pendleton and
were united in marriage by DR.. T. b.
Ford. pastor of the Methodist church.
This occurred about four weeks ago.
Immediately after the ceremony
had been performed, the bride re-
turned to Seattle to close up her bus

MARRIAGE ANNULLED.
Mrs. Bennett Allowed to Resume Her
Maiden Name

Mrs. Jessie B. Benefits marriage
to William A. Bennett. was annulled
/ this morning by Circuit Judge Bean
and she was allowed to take her maid
en- name of Jessie Booth Before mar
rying Bennett the woman had been
married to Dave Carlan and her mar
riage to Bennett was annulled on the
ground that a sufficient length of time
had not been allowed to elapse fol-
lowing the granting of the divorce
from Carlan.
1t was alleged by Mrs. Bennett that
William A. Bennett had persuaded
her that they could go to some other
state and be married and that they
could then return to this state and
legally live together as man and wife.
He also told her that he had $4,000
in money. Accordingly they went to
Lewiston, Idaho last August and
were married. Soon after the cere-
mony was performed the groom pro-
ceeded to get on drunk and de-
manded money from his bride to con-
tinue the spree.
This she refused to furnish and
leaving him in disgust returned to
her home in this county He followed
her back here and falling in his de-
mands to get money from her, told
her he would have her sent to the
penitentiary for marrying him be-
fore the six months time had elapsed,
following the granting of the divorce
from her first husband, as provided
by law. Mrs. Bennett was represent
ed in the suit by Attorney Will NJ.

Nashville, March 19.-John d.
Sharpe, the former sheriff, was to-
day acquitted of the numbering of
former senator +. w. Carmack. The
jury failed to agree on a verdict in
the case Of Col. Duncan Cooper and
his son Robin. The court discharged
Sharpe, sent the jury back to con-
s,der the Cooper case. The jury has
been out over two days. The trial
is one of the costliest in the history
Of Tennessee and county funds are
exhausted. The killing of Carmack is
the outgrowth of long bitter po-
litical feul between the Cooper's and
Carmack, embracing many prominent
men in the state. If the jury is dis
missed IL is probable that the case
will not be tried for some time again
on account of the difficulty in get
ting a jury
Carmack was originally the protage
OF Col Cooper and they later became
enemies when Carmach went to the
United states senate. Carmack as
sailed Cooper in the paper which he
edited when he failed to secure the
reelection a year ago. The immedi-
ate trouble preceding the shooting
developed from the publication of an
article which Cooper warned Carmack
not to print. Soon afterward Car
mack met the Coopers on the street,
and after the exchange of few
words Carmack was shot down by
Robin Cooper. In defense Robin
Cooper declares that he thought his
father was in danger of death by
Carmack.
