In "The Interlopers," which family won possession of the disputed land in the lawsuit ?

In Saki's The Interlopers, Ulrich's family is the one that owns the land legally. Georg is the one that is technically trespassing because he continues to hunt on Ulrich's land anyway. After a tree branch falls on each man, they grow to accept their situation and mend their ways by ending the feud that has plagued both of their families for years. However, when the situation appears to be one for rejoicing, it soon grows bleak again. The ten figures that Ulrich observes on the hill are really wolves. It is likely that the two men will meet their demise at the hand of wolves, not one another.
