"A FARMERS PITlFUL STORY
Asserted That the Establishments or
Zone Armed Jack"
WERE POTENT WITH THE WIFE.
Reported That She Had Come to Canton
and Had secured Employment Ina
Prominent Factory, But This
Proves to Have Been
Mistake,

A very pathetic story is to be at
tached to the visit of Arthur Brown and
his little son Raymond, who are in this
city in search of wife and mother.
Brown came to the police station Mon
day night and told the officers chat he
desired to remain in this city a few
days in search of his wife. not hav-
ing the means. to secure rooms at a hotel
he was permitted to make his tenn
porary home at the police station with
the little boy. The officers very kindly
assisted them in various ways and sup
piled them with such things as they
required for subsistence. All day
Tuesday Brown searched the city for
his wife. He had been informed that
she came here to work in the Dueber
works and he called at the Dueber
works and went over the list of en-
| ployes there, but without finding his
wife's name upon the roll. He return
ed to the police station very despon-
| dent and related to the officers there
how his wife had left her home. 1t
appears that man he designated as
"One Armed Jack" had come to the
small place at which he lived. When
he left the place Mrs. Brown is alleged
to have accompanied him, and it was
supposed they came to this city In
some manner Brown learned that a
woman of that name was working in
the Dueber works. and this caused him
to energetically search there for her.
1t is his desire to have his wife accom-
pany him home, for he stated that she
had no reasons for leaving there but
the promises evidently made to her by
| Jack"
The little boy who accompanied his
father on the trip, is bright lad and
very polite. He remains at the police
station during the day while his father
is out on the hunt for the woman. Both
father and son are miserably clad.
Arthur Browns search for his wife in
| this city the past week has been in
vain, but he received information Wed
nesday afternoon which will probably
result in locating the woman. Brown
visited the Dueber works. where she
is alleged to have been employed, but
he failed to recognize the woman. He
called at other places in this city where
female employment Is to be had, but
he was unable to secure any informa-
ton as to her whereabouts. 1t appears
that Wednesday afternoon he received
information that the woman had been
in this city but that she was located
in Navarro. Her mail had been direct
ed to her in this city for a short time
the latter part of last year but the
address was changed to Navarro. He
left the police station early Thursday
morning and took the Massillon car to
the west end city, accompanied by his.
little boy. After securing a resting
place for his son he will start to walk
to Navarro. a few miles distant, and
attempt to find his wife and have her
accompany him home. 1t appears that
the woman, when she left her home was
accompanied by her eight-year-old
daughter. Brown stated that his wife
had no reasons for leaving home, be-
yond the promises probably made by
"One Armed Jack" as he designates the
man whom he charges with enticing
his wife away. He says he will make
it hot for this fellow if he catches him.
