GRAVE CHARGE PREFERRED.
A Reputable Citizen DIsgraced-
Revenge the Alleged Cause.

A sensation which has grown out of the
recent trouble OF l.. Davis and A. Jones,
father and Son-in law, who were arrested
and placed in jail several days ago, on
the charge of selling mortgaged property,
pamely, the Alamo Flats restaurant,
purchased of these two parties by Mr..
Guy Lallier, a young man favorably
known in this city.
1t seems that Mr.. Lallier yesterday
learned that the Alamo restaurant would
be sold shortly, IL the mortgage was not
paid by the Davis people, and hearing
that Mrs. s. u. Davis, wife OF the former
proprietor, had money, thought it advisa-
her to cancel the debt, and by so doing,
release her husband from behind the
bars. He called at her home on Avenue
C, about IL o'clock Yesterday morning.
He at once, made known the object of
his informal visit, and was informed by
Mrs. Davis that she possessed but 40
cents: that her mother had only 81; that
the house rent was due today and also
that they had scarcely anything in the
house TO eat. This sad state of affairs
greatly grieved the young man and his
sympathy was at once extended to
the supposed heart broken lady.
Mr.. Lallier offered her job in his kitch-
en- at s. a week, and also extended to her
An invitation to take her meals at his
place free of charge until her trouble was
over, after which he left the house.
About , o'clock yesterday afternoon
Deputy Constable PaloSki arrested Mr..
Lailier on the charge of agra
waited assault, preferred by Mrs.
Davis. He gave bond ia the sum
of $3.50 and returned to his home.
Mrs. Davis accuses him OF acting in
an indecent manner toward her, and fur
Their states that his actions were the first
steps to an attempt at outrage.
Mr.. Lalier said to a LIGHT reporter
that this charge was made against him
simply for revenge, as he had caused the
arrest of her husband and father.
