WOMAN GETS DIVORCE
FROM CRUEL HUSBAND
Stanfield Couple Air Troubles in Court
With Result That Separation Is
Granted-Mrs. William F. Hah-
merit Is Single for Third Time.

Umatilla's youngest town is now
really and truly on the may by reason
of having secured its first divorce.
The decree of legal separation was
rendered yesterday afternoon by Cir
cult Judge Bean in the case of Mrs.
Dora c. Hahnert against William F.
Hahnert and the one remaining act to
enable the town to be full fledged
had been accomplished.
The Hahnerts We're united in the
holy bonds of matrimony in the city
of Spokane, August Z, 1907, and for
them the supposedly lucky "seven"
had no charms. According to the
complaint of Mrs. Hahnert this was
the second matrimonial venture for
each of the parties and this fact
probably had something to do with
their domestic troubles, since each
had children by their former mar
riages.
Mrs. Hahnert alleged that soon af-
ter their marriage that he began the
usual course of cruel and inhuman
treatment. He would become drunk
and stay out late at nights or not
CvlhC AOllie at Oil anu "Aei4 hS uiu
come home would call her vile names
and accuse her of being unfaithful to
her marriage vows and too intimate
with other men. 1t is alleged that he
accused her of being lazy and when
she was seriously i'll he said there
was nothing the matter with her but
laziness and refused to get medicine
for her. AS a result of this treatment
she says she became broken down in
health and went down from 1876
pounds to 105 pounds in weight.

Trees and Soil Washed Away.

Mrs. HI. FL. SpaldiDg returned last week
from AlmOta, having been there since
early in March. She went to investigate
the extent of the damage to her orchards
by the food and found that she had been
a heavy loser. The damage was done
by the water in Almota creek. The can
yon carrying that stream was filled with
mighty torrent and everything went
before it. An orchard of about 700 trees
was swept away, 81 being all that were
left standing. Not only trees, hut soil
also was washed away, leaving the cite
of the orchard rock pile. The China
men who have rented and successfully
operated the orchards for several years
say that they will sluice soil from the
higher ground and restore it, but it will
take much time and effort. The loss in
small fruits was also great, and not q

into the Snake river was heavy all along,

OF the nature of heart-to heart talk on
various matters of supreme moment to
the city of Colfax at this time. Protest
ors, as well as those in favor OF graphing
the bulls by the horns in going ahead
with civic improvements, we're there, but
it was noticeable that many of the pro
testors had changed attitude and will
offer no objection to the proposed pave
ment of Main street and the macadam
of Mill street, having become more famil-
lar with the plans proposed. Hence in
due time We may expect to see those
thoroughfares rehabilitated along the
lines heretofore outlined in these
columns, albeit details may be changed
in various particulars. 1t was at no
time the desire Of the mayor and council
to push this work without first looking
at the pros and cons, they wishing to
adopt the best methods of carrying on
the work. In this they will have the CO.
operation of a vast majority of the citi-
zens of Colfax, taxpayers and laymen
alike. 1t is recognized that now is the
time to act-nOw is the time to make

more substantial than ever in it's history
