WOLF ON TRIAL
FOR SLAYING OF
WIFEIPIRER
Birdseye Creek Triangle
Which Resulted In Death
Of Bill Sheldon Aired In
Court Wife Witness,
Fred Wolf, a sturdy, stolid man of
foreign birth, who came to the Birds-
eye creek district a year ago last
September, went on trial today In
circuit court charged with man
slaughter for the slaying of Bill Shel
don, '20. as the tragic culmination
of a rural romance, on the evening
of May 4. last.
Sheldon was walking home with
Mrs. Wolf, carrying the milk pail,
wheu the tragedy occurred on a path
that meandered through a cow pas
ture. The trysts, that led to the
killing, the defense will contend,
were hejd while Mrs. Wolf was milk
ing the cows, and the length of time
required for the dairy duty, aroused
the suspicions of the husband.
Single Juror Excused
Selection of a Jury was underway
this morning. Three of the tentative
Jurors had served in the ballot trials,
and most of them were men of fami
lies. Two women Mrs. Mary L.
Phlpps and Mrs Mary Kleinhammer
were In the box. The defense in the
exercise of its first challenge, excused
Herman Herbert, a single man.
One of the chief witnesses for the
state will be Mrs. Wolf, who with her
mate were the only ones present be
sides Sheldon.
The defense will interpose the un
written la-w and self defense, as a
defense, it Is said.
Ten witnesses have been sub
poenaed by the defense, all residents
of the Birdseye creek district. They
are: Ira Childers. Mrs. Ira Chllders,
Mrs. Eda Otis, Joe Doe Carlson, O. W.
Horn, Mona I. Horn, Fred Caster, and
three John Does.
C.nsMp Readies Husband
The evidence will show that coun
try gossip for some time had linked
the names of Mrs. Wolf and Sheldon,
and finally reached the ears of the
husband. For confirmation he wait
ed near the cow pasture -'and saw
Sheldon carrying a milk pall and
walking with his wife He confront
ed them. Words followed and fists
were hurled in a bitter fight, It Is
alleged. When It was over Sheldon
was mortally wounded, by a bullet
from Wolfs gun.
Justification will be plead by the
defense, represented by Attornevs

Attorney E. E. Kelly, and Robert
Hammond. Jr., a recent addition to

NEW YORK, Oct. 3. (AP) The
New York. Giants and Washington
Senators prepared for a last minute
"fir drill" today before they plunge
Into the blazing competition of world
series combat In the polo grounda to

An overnight flood of New York
money had forced the betting odda,
favoring the Senators, down to 6 to S

further shortening to even money
unless stronger support developed for
the American league champions.

Indications that the ticket sales for
the first two games In New York, to

CHICAGO. Oct. 3. (AP) Presi
dent Roosevelt frankly outlined the

fore the American Legion today and
then pointed hla "comrades" to the

He told the veteran that the gov

But, he declared that "special ben
efits" would not be given to a man

Mr. Roosevelt added a third prin
ciple to the veterans program as
surance that the federal government
wouia give the same relief It gtvea

unconnected with war service but
unable to care for themselves.

from Infantile paralysis, went before
the convention today against the

relation of tho veterans to govern
