Complications Caused
By Double Crossing

Central Palmer, colored, alias
Charley Smith, is now in the county
Jail on a peace warrant charged with
threatening to kill a certain Bertha
Pierce, also colored.
It seems the trouble started over a
love affair between Palmer md the
colored woman. It is understood that
Palmer and Bertha Pierce had been
very close friends while Bertha's real
sweetheart was away at war. When
her sweetheart was finally discharged
from the service and returned home
she apparently dropped Palmer, who
she claims had theratene dto kill her.
Palmer was arrested this afternoon
and brought before Justice w. w.
Conaway. He claims that Bertha did
not have him arrested because he had
threatened to kill her, but because
of a certain promise which he had
made her.
He was placed. in Jail and will try
to get lawyer to assist him in de-
Tending himself. No date has been
set for his trial.
