HALF A WIFE EACH
Two Men Find Themselves Mar

Now She Is in Jail on a Charge
Of Bigamy.

But Would Not Wait for Her to
Get Divorce.

She Was "Single."

Oakland. CAL, Nov. give are
two men stung by the same woman"
Is a statement made by William r.
Hayner and Edmund Theile of San
francisco to District Attorney Thomas
P. Boyd of Marin county that led to
the arrest of Mrs. Hayner or Mrs.
Theile, at the Alta Vista apartment
house, 1858 Cestra street, on a charge
of bigamy. And confused in the story
of double husbands and mutual wife
is the opposed statement of Mrs. Hay
ner-Theile. She admits that she did
not secure divorce from Hayner.
but contends that Theile knew this
when he married her in San Rafael
last June. but pleaded that he could
not wait until she secured the decree.
Thetle declares that he knows now
that his supposed wife is Hayner's
spouse, but denies that he knew it I'M
til some time after his void marriage
to her. Deputy Sheriff George Agnew
came from San Rafael and conducted
Mrs. Hayner to that city, where she
was lodged in Jail under $4,000
bonds. If she can prove that Theile
knew that she was welded when he
married her charge of completely
IN her offense may be lodged against
the man.
How 1t Came About.
The whole transaction is explained
by the fact that Mrs. Hayner is a beau.
tiful and attractive woman.
Theile, who was a druggist at

illness to recall certain puzzling re-
marks his wife had made now and
again to her daughter, Theile sent a
letter to Denver addressed to the man
he says he thought was his wife's
divorced husband The letter was for
warded to San Francisco. Theile and
Hayner got into communication, told
their tale to District Attorney Boyd
and then Theile went to Portland and
enticed the woman back within the
jurisdiction of the California courts.
Theile alleges that while travelling
on his $500 Mrs. Hayner met third
man, Harry Brundage. a Colorado
druggist. with whom she Travelled
about the country. Brundage, accord
ing to Theile, is now employed at
Petaluma.
Mrs. Hayner was dressed in the
height of, fashion. and Theile declares
it is his money that purchased the
finery. He states that this is his sec
ond sorrowful venture into the sea of
matrimony, the first chance in the
lottery having been taken with a Ken
lucky belle. a dashing woman who
spent all his money and then deserted
him.
"Theile knew all the time that 1
was still married to my first hus-
band" Mrs. Hayner said in her cell
at the San Rafael Jail. II wanted
him to postpone our wedding until
an attorney I had secured in San
Francisco could free me. but he said
he would not wait, that he loved me,
and must make me his wife. Hayner
has made all this trouble by finding
that 1 was married again. He went to
Theile and the latter could do moth
ing but pretend surprise and declare
he wished to. prosecute me. In real
ity he knew, that 1 was married, and
persuaded me not to wait until my
divorce had been granted"

chancellor Of the exchequer has So
framed that in many more phases than
one it is not alone a Liberal budget,
but a socialistic one. 1t is the first
budget to advocate the taxation of land
values and unearned increments. This
an itself has been and is one of the
planks in the socialist platform.
Land values, unearned increments!
Why, they are as dear to their hearts
as Irish home rule to I. P. O'Connor or
Redmond. The man who has framed
this revolutionary budget is a Welsh
man OF the Welsh. Not many years
ago he was an obscure, one might al
most say, lawyer; but his impetuous
into the field of politics. He was I'M
der the limelight for the first time
practically during the Boer war where
he was one of the most vindictive of
men in his advocacy of the Boer cause
A Fighter from Birth.
In his 1nfatuation for his brother
Boer he invaded the sacred haunts of
the Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Biz
mingham. where if ever a man is wor-
shipped and loved wholly and souIly,
Mr.. Chamberlain is. Here he attempt
ed to brand Mr.. Chamberlain as a man
who made the war for commercial
gain. Needless to add he had to make
ar ignominiOus escape disguised as a
man but Lloyd George would have
dared to do it. This is the personality
of the man who has framed a budget
contrary to all ordinary methods of tax
alton. A fighter from his birth up.

Lloyd George and acknow edged TO be

SLINGS IN BATTLE.
Spain in Africa Takes Up an Old
Implement of War.

Melilla, Nov. 6.-While the world
is endeavoring to solve the problem of
effective offensive warfare by airships.
it is strange coincidence that on the
frontier of the only battlefield in the
world now active, airships are not be-
ing used to any great extent and bal
-oons are only being used for signaling
purposes. The one thing which is
being used as a novelty and is being
fo und effective is not a new invention,
but the use of the old primitive sling
Thus in the land of Xenophon's con-
quest, where his singers played SO
important a part in the warfare, today
Spain is using the same sling, but with
u new invention which makes it far
more effective. Instead of throwing
stones, as did xenophon's warriors,
small bombs. especially prepared are
fred by the Spanish troops against the
Riffs, and in the hands of expert
enced singers they have become one
of the most deadly and fatal weapons
of offense.
Forty men of the Chiclana battalion
were chosen to WELD the sings, and
owed their novel position to the fact
that they came either from the Ronda
bill jewellers of Toledo and Estrema-
dura-that is to say, from districts
whose people are accustomed to the
use of the sings. Speaking of new
weapons, it may be recalled that the
Moors have been turning ginger beer
and curacao bottles into bombs.
1t would not be strange if the world
powers took UP this novel means of
warfare and trained certain of their
troops to the use of the sling.

DIVIDED HIS PROPERTY.
Goshorn Gave His Wife Half Before

Goshorn. who disappeared from here
two weeks ago, was one of the best
known business men of the city. A
few days before leaving here he divid-

$4,000. OF this sum he gave his wife
$4,000 and took $4,000 for himself

costs from $3.50 to 1920 a ton could
be obtained for $10O less per ton
This, of course, necessitates a great
advance in price on the finished pro-
duct. 1t is now said that the twenty
five cent broom is now a thing of the
past and it is doubtful if ever
brooms can be had for that low fig
ure.
The 1909 crop of broom corn is one
of the smallest in recent years and is
exceedingly unsatisfactory. To those
who raised a good crop the result of
the seasons work is proving immense

exceptional cases, when their temper
is aroused. 1t is stated that the wild
ones" who number $50, and own no
allegiance to any party head, have
made compact to swamp the bud
get This they can easily do, for the
liberal peers number only sixty or
SO and If they do vote 'en bloc they
can turn the scale whether the Tory
peers want to pass 1t or not. It is this
uncertain floating element of lordly
hotsam that may drift into the house
of lords on the day the budget is voted
upon and upset Lloyd Georges "all
or nothing" and precipitate the crisis.
The King Was Deceived.
Should an appeal to the country be
made the chief planks in the platforms
will be the budget. free trade and tariff
reform. 1t was whispered that the king
had been given to think that the only
way the wild ones" could be placated
is to promise them that if the budget is
passed the ministry will dissolve; but,
and stoutly say they will not The
house of lords could compel the parlia-
ment to dissolve by yetoing every
measure they have before them The
Liberals say the lords dare not do this

Guide remedies for unemp loyment, sick
insurance, pensions. ETC., which the
conservative party is committed to.
But again. there are the wild ones"
With Winston Churchill in the thick
OF the fray for the Liberal party, Kerr
Hardie for the socialists and Lloyd
George the militant head, the quieter
personality OF the prime minister, Mr..
Asquith, is almost obscured, but it is
to be hoped that he can effect some
sort of compromise in the matter of a
budget so strikingly revolutionary in
its conception, so drastic in its meas
ures.
Not all the f1amboyant rhetoric can
pass that budget. no threats. no plead
ings. In the sanctity of the house of
lords lies its face, and a few days will
show whether the lords have got back

Five Years
of Heart Trouble Cured by
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy

Before I began taking DR..
Miles Heart Remedy had been
suffering from heart trouble for
over five years. l had pains in
my left side, and under my
shoulder blade, could not sleep
on the left side, and was so short
of breath the least exertion
would bring on the most distress
ing palpitation. l had scarcely
taken a half bottle of the Heart
Remedy before l could see a
marked change in my condition.
When I had taken six bottles I
was cured"
MRS. C. C. GORKEY,
Mortified, Va.
If there is futtering or palpi-
tation it is an indication of a
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the heart. It is not neces-
sarily diseased-just weak from
over-work. The heart may be
weak just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs. You
can make a weak heart strong
by taking DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy. Get a bottle from your
druggist, take it according to di-
rections, and if it. does not bene-
st he will return your money.
