MARION WHEELOCK ASKS FOR ARREST OF GEORGE JONES

Swore Out a Warrant for the Negro Before Justice Gibson Monday—Wheelock's Statement

—

As a result of an encounter had with George Jones, a negro, Marion M. Wheelock, of 1204 E. Washington Street, swore out a warrant for the arrest of Jones in Justice Gibson's court Monday.

As a result of the alleged assault made upon him by Jones, Wheelock's face was badly damaged and one of his wrists severely sprained. The incidents leading up to the assault as told by Wheelock are these:

On the evening of the Fourth of July he led several of his horses to a watering trough near his house. One of the horses, which seemed especially thirsty Wheelock left at the watering trough, the other he led back to the stable after it had gotten through drinking. When he returned from the stable, Wheelock says, he found Jones hurling large stones at the horse which was left at the trough. He remonstrated with Jones, but the latter, it is alleged, paid no heed to Wheelock's expostulations. Wheelock then, it appears, applied a violent epithet to Jones, when the latter sailed into him and gave him an unmerciful pummeling. In fact, it is said that when Jones got through with Wheelock the latter looked as though he had run up against the business end of a buzz saw. He has been laid up for several days and was only able to make an appearance down town Sunday.
