trial came nobody appeared to prose
cute. However, Davis will have to
serve out several months old time just
the same. Davis's wife is belle in
fairyland. Wednesday night Davis,
who was ordered from the city some
time ago, returned and looked up the
woman who bore his name when not
disappearing under an assumed name.
| They quarreled and Davis threatened
to kill Mrs Davis. She called on the
police for assistance and the man was
, locked in Jail. The police went down
to the place to bring Mrs. Davis into
court but found the house deserted and
no vestiges of inhabitation remaining.
The woman and her companions have
left in order that they need not appear
against Harry. However. the man can
still be held just the same. Some time
ago he was arrested in gang headed
by Bert DePriez and sent to Jail as an
habitual vagrant. The Judge gave the
gang several months in Jail and then
RENTED the punishment under the
provision that they leave town. AS
Davis has broken his promise, he will
have to serve out his time.
