# Making Trouble for the Dodds Family. When the Miami Valley Savings Bank suspended in 1877, a woman named Constance Busch, residing on Main street, near Twelfth, lost considerable money. Since then she has been a source of terror to Mr. William B. Dodds, the President of the bank, and his entire family. She has several times attacked Mr. Ozro and Milo Dodds, and even Judge Wilson, who was a partner in the law business with Ozro Dodds. Yesterday she attacked Mr. Milo Dodds at his office with an umbrella, and threatened to shoot him. He had her arrested, thinking that by doing so he could prevent her from persecuting the Dodds family. She has even threatened to steal the child of Mr. William Dodds if she does not get her money. She was taken before Judge Wilson this morning, who continued her case for a week. If she behaves herself in the meantime, she will not be prosecuted any farther.
