CHARGED With Threats

Mary Bentley was arraigned before Jus
tice Young yesterday OH a charge of having
threatened the life of Guy S. Allen, jr.
Several days ago Allen appeared before
Justice Young and complained that the
woman had threatened to kill him, and
that he was afraid to return to Calabasas
until she had been arrested. A warrant
was issued for Mrs. Bentley's arrest, and
was sent to Harvey Branscomb, constable
of Calabasas, to serve. Yesterday Brans-
comb brought down his prisoner. From
his story it looks as though Mrs. Bentley
was the injured party. Branscomb says
that Allen was practicing medicine up in
the Calabasas, and that he had no license.
Recently he attended Mrs. Bentley in con-
finement, and as a result of his inexperi-
ence she suffered greatly in his hands. The
merits of the case will come out before
Township Justice Young.
