Rumor Has 1t Irate
Husband Shot Cyclist

Did an irate farmer or an irate hus-
band shoot Clayton Wolf, 226 Hum
devil of Harrisburg, on the river road
near CoXestown last night? is a ques-
ton being asked on Allison Hill to-
day.
Wolfe, on being interviewed this
orning, said he thinks he was shot by
a farmer who was guarding a peach
orchard. Rumor has it, however,
that Wolfe was shot by a Baltimore
man named Crist.
Some time ago Wolfe was attacked
by Crist in State street near Fourth,
but Wolfe bested both Crist and a
companion who was with him. Last
night Wolfe was riding with Mrs.
Nellie Crist, wife of the irate hus-
band, he admits. He has a severe
gunshot wound in the right leg.
