Especial Telegram to the Globe.
DULUTH, Oct. 29.-This place was the scene
of great excitement this afternoon, the first
cause being an alarm Of fire which proved only
too true. A large boarding house belonging
to Matt. Carroll, situated on Minnesota Point,
was completely destroyed. The building was
valued at about 81, 200 and was only covered
with small insurance if any. Mr.. Carroll at
the time was sick in bed with the typhoid fever.
He had some twenty-five boarders most of
whom were at work. Only few things could
be saved. One man. a carpenter, lost every
thing he had. Another man claims to have
lost $40. There was no insurance on the fur
niture. making total loss of over $1,5e0.
After the fire serious if not fatal shooting
vendetta took place. 1t seems that some weeks
ago man by the name of D. F. Lynch was
stabbed on Minnesota Point by some tramp, as
is understood, and, in order to get revenge,
Lynch, this afternoon, about the time of the
fire Is o'cIock) met the man who stabbed him
and gave him terrible trouncing. Everything
passed off quietly until about 5 o'clock, when
Lynch and some of his friends were on their
way to the depot, going to Pine City, but his
assailant and his friends, some four or five,
found him on his way, opposite the Bay View
house, and Immediately drew their revolvers
and commenced firing on the Lynch crowd,
who returned the fire. The bullets were fred
fast and thick by both sides, some fifteen or
twenty shots being exchanged. Lynch at last
retreated, on account of being out of ammuni-
tion, to the Clark house, holly pursued by his
assailants and was arrested by the chief of po-
lice, who lodged him jail where he now
is. The result of the shooting was at first sup
posed to be slight, but a few minutes subse-
quent brought the news that one man, by the
name of Murphy. was shot in the neck and his
wound will robably prove fatal. 1t is report
ed that he has since died. An innocent man,
Polander, was shot in the leg above the knee,
inficting slight flesh wound. A third man
was lightly scratched on the leg. Bystanders
say they shot without compunction until their
ammunition played out. Great excitement
prevailed until late this evening, but every.
thing is quiet now and no further trouble is
anticipated-at least not tonight.
