SOON 10 MEET HIS TWO WIVES.
TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 9.-Leopold
Wolfe, well known as an old resi-
dent Of Tacoma, the owner of the
California bakery and brother Of
Samuel Wolfe, a wholesale grocer OF
this city, will find himself con
fronted by two wives when he re.
turns from his trip to Germany, and
before then there is likely to be
trouble and some i'll feeling mani
tested between the aforesaid wives.
Nine years ago Wolfe came to this
country from Neumark, Germany.
In 1875 he married one Of the pretty
girls Of Neumark. When he left
the fatherland he was unaccom-
panied by his wife, whom he has
never seen since. In February, 1885,
he commenced proceedings in this
city for a divorce from his wife,
claiming that "the defendant will
! fully and without cause abandoned
him, and has ever since lived apart
from him. The divorce was
granted. About one year elapsed,
and Wolfe married again, and has
continues ever since to reside here.
A few w eks ago he decided to take
trip to the home of his boyhocd
and started, leaving Mrs. Wolfe No.
to manage the business during his
absence. In the meantime, Ernest
Hoppe, Of the county probate court,
has received a letter from the Ger
man consul at San Francisco, stat
ing that WOlfe's wife whom he loft
In Germany, has started with her
children, who claim Wolfe as their
father, to join him in Tacoma. 1t
is not definitely known whether
upon her arrival Mrs. Wolfe No. |
will try and upset the decision OF
the court, but as she is supposed not
to be In very good financial circum-
stances, II is probable that che will
call upon Wolfe to support her and
the children.
