NO HAY IN TOWN.

Feed Dealers Complain of Famine in
Usually Plentiful Product.
lFrom Saturdays Daily.I
Local dealers are just now exper.
fencing famine in hay and today
that product is as scarce as was hard
coal few weeks ago. A search this
afternoon in the feed stores developed
the fact that there was not bale of
hay in the stores visited The con.
ditions of the roads and the fields
make it almost an impossibility for
the farmers to bring their hay to the
city. The dealers say, however that
nothing need be feared from the tenn
porary famine, as there is a good sup.
ply of nay if the roads would permit
the farmers to bring it in. The last
of the product was sold by the local
dealers yesterday was owing to the
scarcity and the price they were com
PEELED to pay, it was sold at slightly
increased price. The hay this year is
of poorer quality than usual owing
to the heavy rains during the summer
months.

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
Family of Fred Church Faces a Hard
Prospect.

From Saturdays Daily
Gloomy indeed is the prospect for
the coming winter for Mrs. Fred.
Church. Left alone by her husband
with family of five children, none
of whom is able to earn living, with
only a son to aid her in her efforts to
keep the wolf from the door, unless,
perchance, the father softens his heart
and helps support the children. And
even then, judging from the present
circumstances of the family, there will
be room for Improvement. The family
resides in a frame house of two rooms
at sos Richmond avenue.
What might have made more trouble
is the action of the husband, who yes
terday called upon Judge Moon for the
purpose of swearing to information ac
cusing his wife of attempting to poi
son him. He told his story, but in
the opinion of Judge Moon it was not
enough to warrant arresting the wom-
an and the mans request for her ar
rest was refused. This morning he
appeared again and asked for war
rant saying that he feared She would
poison the smallest child, but again
he was sent away.
J uS SitpfCIl TiOT1Gs ft
Yesterday afternoon a representa-
tive of the Courier, in company with
Chief of Police Gray, visited the home
of the Church family at SOC Richmond
avenue for the purpose of hearing the
woman's side of the story. Mrs.
Church was found withsher five chill
dren, boy and four girls, the eldest
child being a girl of about Ia years.
The house contains but two rooms, in
one of which is a battered cook-stove
and few chairs, and in the other two
beds and a small heating stove. This
is practically the extent of the fur
nishings, Mr. Church having removed
a bed and few other articles from
the house yesterday.
The woman told her story, crying as
she did so. She protested that such a
thought as that of killing her husband
had never entered her mind. She adj
mitted that there had been trouble be-
tween them at times and that their life
had not run smoothly of late but said
that her outbreaks of anger resulted
from the harsh treatment accorded by
her husband.
During this conversation the man
entered the house Without paying
any attention to the presence of his
wife he began a recital to Chief Gray
of the trouble which had taken place
between himself and Mrs. Church.
Mrs. Church, between sobs, denied
time after time that she had attempted
to poison her husband, but the man
would not be convinced He claimed
that his wife had put poison of some
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1902-12-09

unknown kind into cup of water she
had given him at his request on Thurs
day evening. AS proof that he had
been poisoned he said he had been ill
all day, although he said he drank
only a cup Of the water. Here the
woman suggested that the illness
might have been caused by medicine
which Church took Thursday night
for the purpose, he said, of counter
acting the poison.
by Chief Gray to induce Mr.. Church
to return home and resume his life
with his family, the man could not be
persuaded He claimed that he was
afraid to do it and stated that he had
decided to stay at the Hotel Iowa on
Church street.
Mr.. Church promised to help sup
port the children, but limited that they
should be sent to a home and given
over to the care of some institution.
1t was indeed pitiful to behold the
mother when this was mentioned.
With tears in her eyes she beseeched
the officer that tho children would not
be taken away from her, and declared
that as long as she retained her own
lie they should he cared for. The
scene was one to touch the hearts of
even those who are accustomed to
such occasions. but the husband and
father showed no signs of giving
up his decision to desert his
family. He left in company with the
officer and reporter and returned to
his hotel.
This morning he appeared at police
court and asked that his wife be arres-
ted, claiming that he feared that she
would poison the baby, little child,
scarcely two years old. However
Judge Moon, after questioning the
man, refused to issue warrant and
finally the man left, agreeing to let
the matter rest until further develop.
ments should become known. He still
refuses to return 10 his family.
