Man Who Terrorised Wife Released Friday Afternoon.

Jack Webb, the man who came from Chicago a couple of weeks ago and went to the home of his wife’s mother, Mrs. Prior Rowen, and terrorized them Uy flourishing a revolver, was released from the county jail Friday afternoon and went to Chicago on the Hoosier Limited, first telling acquaintances that he was ashamed of his conduct and would not return to Rensselaer for at least two years. It was agreed by his wife not to have him placed under a peace bond. Whiskey seems to have been Webb’s trouble on this occasion, as it apparently was on previous occasions when he 4ras unruly and, threatening. Charles Marlin, who haß been in jail for some time on a charge of stealing a bicycle, was released Thursday afternoon. He plead guilty to the charge and was fined $5 and costs and sentenced to jail for 90 days. As he had already served a long time in jail awaiting trial, the sentence was very properly suspended and the young man given a chance to get bn the right track again. Elizur Sage staid his fine and he will be employed on the Sage farm. i - J
