Canning factories are a very sub

people around Newark are losing
hundreds of dollars by not having
a canning factory in this town.

THREATENS LIFE OF
WIFE WHO LEFT HIM
Sam Oliver Goes on Warpath Be
cause Wife Refused to Return
and Live With Him
A difficulty that threatened to
end in murder occurred Sunday in
the public road near Paroquet
when Sam Oliver, who lives in
Jackson county, undertook to com
pel his wife to return to his home
and live with him.
Oliver and his wife seperated
some time ago, his wife leaving
him and returning to Paroquet
where she has been making her
home with her sister, Mrs. Lizzie
Martin. Last Sunday, Oliver
went to Paroquet for the purpose
of getting his wife to return and
live with him, which she refused
to do.
Sunday afternoon as Mrs. Oliver
and her sister, Mrs. Martin, and
others, were returning home from
the baptizing, Oliver overtook
them in the road and demanded
that his wife return home with
him. She refused to do, telling
Oliver that he would not treat her
right and she could not live with
him.
Angered at her refusal, Oliver
is alleged to have told her that he
would kill her, and made an at
tempt to get to her, but by the
assistance of the others of the
party she succeeded in getting
away from him and Oliver was
prevented from carrying out his
threat. Oliver left but was seen
in the communnity again Tuesday
morning and it was feared that he
had returned to make good his
threat. Being informed of Oliver’s
presence in the neighborhood
again, Mrs. Oliver boarded the lo
cal for Newport to swear out a
warrant for Oliver.
