AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR TIME.
Two Citizens Of st. Paul Shot
by Soldiers.


Yesterday afternoon as Mr.. Frank Iancke
and George Garig, two respectable German
citizens of st. Paul, were hunting for stray
cattle, being at the time on or ~ " the Young
farm, on the bottom lands about mile above
the Fort ferry, they discovered three soldiers
on the bank above them, aiming their guns as
if to fire. George called to the soldiers not to
fire till they had got by, when the response
was demand for whisky, to which answer
was given that they had none, whereupon the
soldiers damned them for coming up there
without whisky and finally fred at Mr.. Hancke
and his companion. Thei. ms were ev.
IDENTIFY loaded with chat.,e of duck
shot. One shot went through Mr.. Hancke's
upper lip and lodged at the root
his tongue; another passed through his scalp
on the right side and glanced around his skull
Two shots struck Mr.. Garig in the back, pen
etrating the flesh to the bone. The force of
the shot against Mr. Hancke's skull made him
faint and dizzy for few moments, and he
dropped to the ground, fortunately with tree
partly covering him from the soldiers. While
sitting there, another shot was fired at Him,
and the ball, used this time, knocked the bark
from the tree behind which he was and passed
close to his shoulders.
As soon as he was able, Mr. Hanckc returned
TO the Ferry, crossed to the Fort, obtain ed a
detail from the guard to attempt the arrest of
the soldiers who had shot at him. It was
found finally that the soldiers had crossed over
to the Fort in a skiff, and by aid of the boy
who had terried them and through the fact of
their having stolen goose from farmer, two
of them were discovered and arrested. They
appeared to be just about Old enough to en-
title them to enlist, but certainly not Old
enough to have acquired such reckless brutal
ty as they displayed in this unproyoked at
tempt to kill two quiet citizens. Its to be
hoped that their companion will be discovered
and that all three will be promptly and sutfi
cently punished.
