DESERTED MAN
GETS HEAVY
DAMAGES


One of the strangest cases ever
heard in Pierce county courts
came to an end this morning
when a jury in Judge Cards court
decided that the love Of Wenden
Moebius' wife, taken from him
after 28 years by William Colisch,
his landlord, was worth just
$4,000.
Colisch didn't appear to defend
the damage suit of $40, 900
brought against him, and the
statement was made in court that
he and Mrs. Moebius have gone to
Germany.
The next step will be to get the
money. Before leaving, 1t is said,
Colisch disposed of all his proper
ty. A sale of his farm for SIS, 500
may be overturned in Moebius'
favor.
The Old Story.
1t was the story of the rich man
and the poor woman, according to
the testimony a few months ago
when Colisch asked for a divorce.
Moebius was renting Colisch s
farm near Harris lake. He and his
wife had worked hard together,
the woman sharing the hardest
manuel labor with the man.
Then Colisch came along. Moe

titled, with tears in their eyes, at

quently when Mobius was away.
Moebius was given a decree,
and the alienation suit followed.

LEGISLATURE TO ADJOURN
ON SATURDAY
SALEM, Ore. Feb. 14.-Final ad

SALEM, Ore, Feb. 14.-Final ad-
journment will be taken by the legis-
lature at IL o'clock noon Saturday,
February IS. A joint resolution
fixing this time for dissolving the
legislative assembly was adopted by
both houses yesterday.
First of the night sessions of the
legislature was held last night, when
the senate decided to spend the even
ing in cleaning up business. The
house adjourned as usual, however.
Opponents of the state highway
board and highway commissioner sur
rendered today, but not until they
had gained some concessions. These
included an amendment to the Gill
bill prescribing a method by which
counties shall issue bonds for i'm
proving roads and an agreement by
friends of the Good Roads association
not to insist on the passage of the
state-aid bill, appropriating $780,
900, or the measure providing for the
working of state and county prison
ers on the public roads.
Following the report of the COM
mittoe to which 1t was referred for
the purpose of exempting the incum-
bent's term from It's provisions, the
senate late tonight passed the flat
salary bill for the state printer by a
vote of 10 to 10 against.
Bills carrying appropriations ag-
gregating s516,100 were passed by
the house today. Not single bill
asking an appropriation was turned
down. Neither was the amount re-
quested in single bill cut down.
All got what they asked for, so far as
the house was concerned, although
few reductions were made by the
ways and means committee before
the bills were finally reported to the
house.

CORRESPONDENT CONSIDERS
CITY FENCES UNNECESSARY

In recent editorial in The
Courier residents in this city are
urged to improve their property by
putting up fences. think this is
a great mistake, as there are greater
improvements to be made by taking
down fences than by putting up
more. OF course, in the country
fences are very essential improve
ment. The same might be true
around the outskirts of the town
where outside cattle stray in, but
through the main residence portion
of town there Is no excuse for the
old fashioned fence and the sooner
it is torn down and disposed of the
better. There may be some few ex-
ceptions to this rule. For instance,
where lot has been used for years
as cutoff by pedestrians it might
be best after building to string some
wires on stakes from the inside corn
er of sidewalk to nearest corner of
house and cover with sweet peas or
nasturtiums.
ooh, but l can not run the risk of
having my garden and lawn ruined
by stray stock" some one may say.
Don't be alarmed. The great
majority of the best residence lots
in the city are now going unfenced;
or possibly a low hedge with no
gate. Take a drive through the
north part of town and notice the
places that are fenced in. Only one
on Lawnridge avenue, one on Wash
ington boulevard, and just few
on North Fourth and Fifth streets.
Join the improvement society, tear
down your fence and then help us
enforce the stock ordinances by re-
porting to the marshal any stray
stock seen in your locality. The city
needs the money aud the stock
owners need the lesson.
