shaw "a drunk man lying in the
road" and when they responded to
her statement they found Wolf
seventy feet north of where his
truck was standing.
So far the identity of the hit and
run driver who ran Wolf down has
not been established, but officers
are still trying to apprehend him.

tion is still very serious, and that
even if he survives he will be pretty
badly crippled the balance of his
life.
