DROVE HIS WIFE OUT.
Perry Wyatt Creates Excitement Near
County Jail.

A man named Perry Wyatt narrow
ly escaped arrest last night, after he
had frightened his wife and raised a
disturbance which aroused neighbors.
Wyatt lives or works out of town, and
visits his wife. who lives on Jackson
street a few doors from the county
Jail, at uncertain intervals. One of his
semi visits came off last
night, but he had visited several booze
dispensaries on the way and was ripe
for trouble. He waved a revolver
around and made threats suitable to
the action. Mrs. Wyatt ran out of the
house and added to the disturbance.
John Wilkerson put on part of his
clothes and started out to hunt the
trouble. He was armed with a crouch
and a cane. 1t was about that time
that Wyatt decided that elsewhere
was a good place. and acted accord
ingly.
Mrs. Wyatt will not swear out a
complaint against her husband. She

spoiled another fight at the city hall.
The brick and cement men were gath
ering forces and a clash without a
former record was bound to occur. The
cement men claimed that the brick
men were grating the city council and
that the brick in this city was failure
as a sidewalk and always would be.
They used as their argument the fact
that practically every inside lot side
walk in the city was constructed of
cement at the present time. This would
go to show that the people themselves
wanted cement. The brick men paid
no attention to the ordinance or its
reading-they simply defended the
brick idea of sidewalks, saying that
brick was the first and only satiSfac-
tory manner in laying down the foot
paths.
But it is all over now and whatever
the people want in front of their prop
erty they shall have.

dren are clean and we'll cared for by
their mother. Henderson is charged
with being a professional drunk. He
was arrested Saturday night for MAX
ing trouble at the Holiday hotel. Il
appears that before his arrest. some
of the help around the hotel made a
respectable effort to quell his exuber-
ance. He wore a black eye when
brought into court, and is now held In
jail in default of bond. The COM
plant made by his wife was issued
after his arrest for disturbing the
peace.
The arrest of Henderson is based On
the newly enforced Juvenile laws of
1907 wherein the responsible parent
is held for the dependence of children.
Other states have laws which make it
a crime for a parent to desert or fail
to provide for minor children, and
this is the opening of a fair start in
the same direction here.
