Says Husband Threw Her
Out of House Into Storm

Elizabeth Caller testified yester-
day. before Judge Troup that her
husband, William, threw her out of
their sod house on a claim near Dali
ton, Neb., during a storm and while
she was clad only in a night gown.
She said later he tied rope around
her neck and threatened to drag her
at the back of wagon. The wife
said he struck her with a club and
later forced her to sign a quit claim
deed to their farm, giving her $50,
which the next day he took away.
Caller alleges that his wife enter
tanned his brother Jim while he was
away working on threshing ma
chine.
The Callers were married in
Council Bluffs in 1911. Mrs. Caller
mad previously been married and dr.
vorced. In 1918 they moved to
Cheyenne county, Neb,, and there
they were remarked in the Catholic
church at Sidney
The husband says his wife left
him several times before the final
time in August, 1918. Since coming
to Omaha she has been living at
2l6 South Twenty-fifth street. She
worked as an elevator operator in
the Brandeis theater building for a
/ while.

The gathering Of oil and gas men at
Wheeling this week for the fourth an.
nual convention OF the West Virginia
Gas Producers Association is suffi-
cient excuse for interest in oil and gas
matters as recorded in state history.
Petroleum was first obtained in any
quantity on the Little Kanawha river
near Parkersbrug in 1860 but the
thriving business that developed was
ruined by the Confederate Army in
1863. After the war the development
began again and extended before 1870
by operations covering Writ. Wood and
Peasants counties. In Monongalla
county there was oil excitement as
early as 1861 but It was quieted by the
war. There was excitement in Wet.
eel and Tyler counties also and along
the West Fork river in Lewis county.
There were strikes of oil in Richie
county and some little excitement in
Taylor. Although Harrison county
has since been viewed as an important
place In the gas fields Hardesty His.

gas or oil development, combining its
industrial boosts to coal.
