the effects of drink, sewed- her lord
and master up in pair of blankets
and gave him severe horsewhipping
He is confined to his home as result
of the beating and certain promises
he made to her.
According to his wife, Olgrey has
been in the habit of coming home
| from town drunk and beating her. She
states that she warned him Of her in
tention to punish him if he persisted,
but he laughed at her. He went to
town, coming home in his usual con.
dition. After some words, he is said
to have given his wife several severe
lashes across the back, she finally run
ming to the barn to make her escape
! from him.
Olgrey soon relapsed into drunken
stupor and was taken to his room and

Olgrey soon followed, and, taking
some carpet warp, she sewed her
spouse securely into the blankets in
such manner that 1t was impossible
| for him to move hand or foot.
Going then to the barn, she secured
q heavy whip which she laid on with
such enthusiasm that the pain soon
brought Olgrey to consciousness and
made him roar for mercy. His plead.
ings for clemency. however, were UNI

brought him into thorough submission
She extracted promises from him of a
complete reformation, made him sign
a pledge and agree to confine himself
to the farm for period of six months.
His wife is to do all the business that
requires departure from the con.
fines of the home place during that
period. The whole affair was seen by
the hired man and the agreement was
put into writing, he acting as witness.
