SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1918) GHIEF WOLF 16 (ARESTED FOR THREAT TO AIL! {continued From Page One) gun from his hand,” says Gehres, “or j would have tried it. As it was I yan to the house to get a shotgun snd he followed me with a drawn gun.” ‘i At this point the Gehres family is said to haye intervened with the re- sult that Gehres ordered Wolf off the premises and the latter returned | to the city. ‘ Gehres followed a little later and swore out a Warrant for Wolf, charg- ing him with assault With intent to} kill. His evidence, he declares, will be substantiated at the hearing, by his wife and another member of his| family. The warrant was served in front of the Henning hotel by Under- sheriff Elswick and Wolf accom- panied the former to justice ‘court | where the necessary bond was fixed. Chief Wolf’s version of the story, which is unsubstantiated by wit- nesses, dismissed the gun episode as a fabrication, Im fact he dismisses the whole affair as hardly worth no- ticing. He says the trouble came up over the story published by the Press, ig- noring the charge that he went to the ranch east’ of town looking for trouble, and that the Press story served its purpose in warning the party who was doing the poisoning. According to the chief the two had words, which led to the lie being passed, when he (the chief) started to take off his coat. Gehres fled wien the controversy reached this stage, the chief says. However, the correction, which has not yet appeared in the Press rela-! tive to the poisoning, concerns itself with the fact that Chief Wolf owns absolutely ne interest in the “hog ranch” he was said to have “pur- chased last spring,” Gehres being the sole owner, Likewise the majority of hogs poisoned by some enemy of the chief were owned by Gehres and not the chief. Chief Wolf is said to- have pur- chased 21 head of pigs at the time arrangements were made _ between them and, according “to contract, Gehres was to feed and care for them on a percentage basis, The feed was obtained frem restaurant refuse and Was contracted by Chief Wolf., Had Chief Wolf’shiégs reached full ma- turity and had all of them died he would have lost something in excess of $1,000, less the percentage Geh- res would have received. according to his contract. - Notwithstanding a promise to pub-| lish any correction Gehres might fur- nish, the Press as yet has offered nothing in rebuttal to the report that Wolf had “superceded Gehres as owner of the ranch, neither has any- thing been published relative to the chief's arrest, probably thru inability at this time to draw comparisons be- tween the chief’s marvelous gift at | “self-contrdl” and some other aspir- ant for his job who uses his fist in- stead of a gun, 479,000 SPENT IN POST ROADS FOR PAST YEAR Construction Wofk Awaited Re- turn of Peace Conditions Says Secretary Houston in An- nual Report Today or expenditure on the post roads Tom the federal aid road act, only $425,445 was paid from tiie federal funds jn the highway construction Season of 1918 on all projects.
