thought they did, l see the trail
is broken back of Brewers house;
said he would go over and see if
Curly's folks were up. Ten or fif-
teen minutes later I went over;
Brewer was building fire, Schieler
setting in chair. Brewer and I took |
drink; Schieler did not drink.
Wilson came out of the bedroom |
door. Schieler asked him why he
did not answer him; he said he did
not have to answer a one-eyed cur.
Schieler told him he must stay
away. Wilson said he would go
through whenever he wanted to,
and called him all the vile names
he could think of, at the same time
making threatening gestures to-
ward him; Said he would like to
see the one-eyed s. of b. that
tries to stop me. Did not hear RE
bold's name mentioned. l asked
Schieler to go to town; went out
side, talked with Brewer two or
three minutes. Schiller came out
of house, and walked past me. He
did not say anything to Brewer.
He went up to the mine. / told
Schieler to look out for Wilson. He
said it stood him in hand to look
out for him. Two weeks before at
a dance, Wilson asked me if / had
my pistol. 1 said no and asked him
why. He said: lam going to watch
Schieler and if he dances with my
wife l will put a hole through him.
In conversation with Schieler at
mine nothing was said like "I'll
lay for him, or shoot him." I said
to Helm: "Schieler and Wilson had
a racket" He said: "they are both
d fools" Wilson's general rep
utation was bad, Schieler's good.
