[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger November 17, 1887 GALLIA The Gallipolis Journal says: Giles Sisson's family resides in Clay township. Giles himself has not been living there much. Last week he came home and deliberately nailed his wife and children in a room of the house. He then proceeded to dismantle the home of its furniture and carried it away. The father of Mrs. Sisson, followed him, and by the aid of such argument as is to be found at the mussle (sic) of a shot gun, persuaded him to return the goods and chattles (sic), and then Giles left for parts unknown, promising never again to tread the ??? in Gallia.
