MAN ACCUSED OF CHOKING HIS WIFE

Edward Clark in Noisy and Quarrelsome Mood

Palmyra, Feb. 27 - Edward CLARK, a Belgian who has made Palmyra his home for several years and who has lately been employed as a bartender, started in to make things lively in Palmyra this morning, and he ended up in the police station with a charge of assault and intoxication against him.

CLARK lives in a room in the Rushmore building, next to the Powers Hotel, and Mrs. CLARK has been working in the kitchen of the hotel for some time. This morning CLARK appeared at the hotel and wanted to see his wife, but he was refused admission. He then sent a note in asking his wife to come to his rooms at once. The wife responded, and it is alleged that she had no sooner got into the hall of the building when CLARK grabbed her and choked her. Her cries attracted the attention of other persons in the building.

Mrs. CLARK at once sent for Officer DENNIS and had CLARK placed under arrest. As DENNIS was taking him to the station he suddenly bolted away and dashed down Cuyler street, with the officer close at his heels. DENNIS is somewhat of a sprinter and soon had his man again. CLARK will be given a hearing before Police Justice KELLY in the Morning.
CLARK really started in to do things last night, for during a performance at the opera house he got noisy and Officer DENNIS ejected him.
