WOES WEIGHING ON HIM,
BIG CHIEF GOES WHOOP!
Marrying Marion Led to Red
Wings Undoing.

Big Chief Red Wings domestic trou-
bles bore upon him so heavily that last
night he went to see his friend of two
weeks. Savel Woledidch. who has a
Russian antique shop at "a East Fortieth
street, and proceeded to unburden him
self.
a little more than two months ago
the Big Chief, an Ojibway Indian, came
back from serving in the British svia-
tior corps and married Marion Stehlik,
millner of 35s Fifth avenue. Life with
Marion. as the Big Chief explained last
night to Woledidich, has resulted in all
sorts Of trouble. She had him brought
before Magistrate Oberwager two weeks
ago and complained that he had con-
tinually abused her. failed to contribute
to her support and had threatened her
with disgrace IL she did not give him
money. The case later was dismissed.
but from what the Big Chief told Wole-
didich last night the troubles did not
cease.
And as the Big Chief talked he he:a'ne
more and more excited. Finally ne fell
to the floor Of the shop and shook him
self Then he arose. let out war whoop
that could be heard clear over at the
Public Library and began doing one of
the Ojibway war dances. Woledidich
thought even great domestic difficulties
could not justify that, SO he called the
police The Chief was taken to Belle
vue for observation. A two ounce vial
of hydrochloric acid was found on him,
but 1t had not been touched.
