Wright, John (29 Mar 1912) 
 

Saturday night John Wright, who has been living in the O’Neill house, and who, with his family, had taken up temporary quarters at Sol Joseph’s hotel, threatened to kill his wife and two children.  The threat was made just before supper, so Mrs. Wright said, and when the family went to the dining room, Mrs. Wright left the hotel and informed friends of the threat and Marshall Hommel was summoned.  He took Wright in charge and locked him up in the county jail where he remained until Monday.  Wright is seriously ill with dropsy, and may not live a great while.
