TRYS GUN PLAY
TO COLLECT BILL
J. S. Watkins Assaulted by a
Ranch Employe
Gus Weighelt is in Jail
Got the Money; Now Held to
Grand Jury for Assault With
Dangerous Weapon
Saturday morning as he was go
ing to his field to work John S.
Watkins met Gus Weighelt who had
been in Watkin's employ up to a
few days ago, and was told that he
would be shot forthwith if he tried
to go through the gate onto his own
premises.
Weighelt had worked himself into
a frenzy over the fact that Watkins
owed him $28 and had failed to pay
the amount. Watkins testified that
he never denied the bill but wanted
to delay payment until he could
come to town and get the money.
Weighelt succeeded in convincing
Watkins that he meant business, for
although the gun was a 22 caliber
rifle, he continued to point it at
Watkins and John testified that he
appeared to be nervous for he kept
moving his fingers about on the
hammer and trigger of the gun.
Watkins came to Prineville and
sent the check and a warrant out to
the scene of the trouble by the
sheriff who arrested Weighelt and
placed him in Jail. At the prelim
inary hearing which was held Mon
day evening, Aaron Watkins testified
that the accused man told him the
night before the trouble that he
would "put a bullet in John's head."
Weighelt was held under a $500
bond to appear before the grand
jury on the chagrge of assault by
Judge Bowman, in default of which
j he is boarding at the county jail.
