Under the above caption last week’s
leone of the Gletrwood Poet has the
following:
“Coming to this city a week ago
from Meeker in the hopes of securing
work at their chosen trades, Mr. an<t
Mrs. Benjamin Franklin Ives started
the end of their short stay by engag
ing in a street brawl at Blver Front
and Bennett avenue Wednesday
night
“Both were haled before Magis
trate White Thursday morning and
fined $26 and costs, the same to be
remitted in case they left town by 10
o’clock Thursday night
“It is claimed that Ives, who is a
pointer, get on a spreo and started in
to do some shooting. He claimed to
be looking for his wife, and her story
agreed with his. They met on River
Front and the trouble started over
her absence from home. Ives Is
said to have drawn a .St caliber re
volver from his pocket and made
threats to kill-both himself and wife.
She grabbed the gun and in the me
lee that followed the gun was dis
charged. Mrs. Ives succeeded in
getting the gun from him and hur
ried home, where she hid it. The
local officers got wise to the doings
and put Ives in the city jail until
Thuiwlay morning, when Magistrate
White opened court, when Ives was
brought from his celL He was shak
ing like an aspen leaf, but a good
snort of “red eye’’ from a bandy bot
tle seemed to give him new courage.
“The evidence was taken and Mag
istrate White delivered a lecture that
should be remembered by the un
happy couple, who claim to have
been married in Grand Junction four
years ago. He said, ’There are so
many bad characters comirfg to Glen
wood from Grand Junction and other
towns that we have to do something
with them in order to protect our
taxpayers. I will fine you $26 and
costs, and give you until 10 o'clock
tonight to get out of town, and if you.
ever come before me again we will
pat balls and chains on you and give
you something to do. Now behave
yourselves and go to work.' ”
{Hr. Post man, permit us to oorreot
you a bit. The above named party
was In Meeker for two or three
months Said he came from Glen
wood here. We got rid of him ns
soon ns ws could. You have our per
mission to pass him on.— Ed. Hbb-
