Wright's Story Of the affair.
When asked as to how the assault
had been committed and the reasons
for the attack upon Uhly. Charles
Wright last night told the following
story:
''Uhly has long been associated
with sister of mine i'm this city, al
though he is married man. and we
of the family resented him having
any dealings with the family affairs,
as to tolerate such would be the same
as owning up to the fact that we
countenanced his actions Although
he has at no time had a right to in
terfere into our family affairs he has
done so with zest owing to associa4
tions with my sister. | did not want
to have any trouble but ii could not
be helped yesterday, as uhly's ac-
tions were such that no man could
have resisted punching him We as a
family did not wish to have any thing
to do with him, and especially SO
during the sickness and death OF our
father. He had on several instances
accompanied my sister to the home or
my father, and as he and my mother
are old people, Uhly could tell them
anything, and he told them on sew
eral instances that he and my sister

that he was already a married man.
Uhly was ordered to leave fathers

up until today when the funeral was
held. He had hired cab and had

though he was friend of the family

When We returned after the funeral
Uhly was still there and went about
ordering things as though he was
the boss. As the cabs had drawn near
the barn Th1y came walking up and
/ told him to leave the farm immedf-
ately for if he stayed around trouble
would follow. He swelled up and
said you cannot make me leave II
was then Uhly made pass as
though he was going to draw gun.
and ! grabbed his hand and began
punching him and would have prob
ably killed him If my brother and
several other witnesses to the affair
had not grabbed me and pulled me
from him. After ! had quit pounding
him he turned and ran, and later my
sister joined him in lane and coax
ed him to leave which he did
