THREATENS A FAMILY
j. Carver Bennett Becomes Desper-
ate When His Love is Not
Returned.

j. Carver Bennett, a Bowling farm
er about 25 years of age. was brought
to this city this morning by Bailiff
Olmsted and Constable Sample on a
warrant sworn out by Moses ii, Tut
tie, a neighbor, charging him with
Threatening violence to the members
of Tuttle's family.
The Young man, who has been act
ing rather strangely of late, it is
said, had been paying his attentions
to Miss Blair, who made her home
with the Tuttles. The young lady
has not favored his suit, it appears.
and he became desperate.
Not long ago he wrote letter to
Mr. futile. in which he asked the old
people to assist him i'm his suit and as
an inducement he conveyed the infor-
nation that he would resort to vio-
lence if a favorable reply were not
received in Il specified time, which eX-
pired last night.
Mr.. and Mrs. futile became some
what alarmed and concluded that the
best thing To do under the circum-
stances was to take time by the fore
lock and begin proceedings for n
peace warrant. Accordingly before
Bennett had an opportunity To- carry
out his threats he was placed under
arrest.
His trial is i'm progress before Mag
istratc johnson this afternoon.
