that county required but 55.9S per
cent of the fees collected to pay the
expenses of the office. Wahkiakum

having taken more than twice the
amount of fees collected to carry on
the department, the percentage be-
ing 2S9.3s.

totaled $20,077, while the cost of
running the Office was $tS,075, maxi

VERA PROsSER AGAIN
IN THE L|MEl|GHT
Woman Who Made Sensation
Here Before She Killed Her
First Husband Defendant

Vera Prosser Is again In the lime
light. Vera Is pretty and vivacious
lady who shot her former husband.
Reese Prosser. on q Great Northern
car in Montana last year and was ac-
quilted. Just before that she and
Prosser had been in North Yakima
and the Jealousy of the woman had
cut things wide open here on one or
two occasions. Vera was acquitted of
killing Prosser and she married Lloyd
Il. Scott, young piano dealer. who Is
now suing her for divorce. They were
married last January Just after the
handsome Vera was released from
custody. In his complaint for divorce
Scott says his wife has terrorized him
with threats to end his existence as
she did that Of husband No. 1. The
suit has been filed at Bloomington.
Illinois.
Jewels Again in Dispute
Vera accused her first husband of
having squandered all her money and
having converted her Jewels into cash.
She apparently had some jewels left
for she makes similar charge against
her second husband.
The case has several sensational an
giles, for. according to the stories Scott
and his wife are now telling, Vera's
second matrimonial venture has been
as fruitful of scandal and connubial
warfare as the first. Shortly after
the marriage Vera rushed into the
limelight of newspaper notoriety
again by accusing Scott OF stealing
$4,000 worth of diamonds. In tho con-
troversy that followed she charged
that clandestine love affair. in which
she had become involved with Scott
during her marriage to Prosser, had
been the cause OF the fatal quarrel
between Prosser and her.
