afternoon row in South MINNEAPOLIS
saloon eliminated in fatal shooting af-
fray. The facts, as CLEANED by q GLOBE
reporter, are substantially as follows:
Philip Hartman's saloon on the corner of
Fourteenth avenue south and Sixth street
was the scene of the sad occurrence. In
this saloon were VIM. McGowan, employ
ed by Hall & Dunn, cooper, and two
iron moulders named A. Dick and Thorn
as Randall. The two latter were en-
ployes of the Northwestern stove works.
These men had each been drinking i'm
moderately, and were
EXCEEDINGLY INTOXICATED.
1t seems that McGowan and Randall
had on former occasion engaged in a
desperate quarrel over some real or i'm
aginary wrong. Being fred with whisky
this old feud broke out with redoubled
energy, and resulted in blows. The bar
tender and others lnterposed, and the
contestants were driven into the back
yard, where MCGOWAN drew
LARGE, LOADED REVOLVER
Partly from his excitement and partly
from his intoxicated condition, he drop
ped the revolver to the ground Dick
saw it, and thought to prevent bloodshed
by securing it, but MCGOWAN succeeded
in picking it up, when he instantly
wheeled and fired The bullet entered
Dicks right eye, directly above the orb,
and lodged in the brain. He
fell insensible, and was at once
taken TO the Cottage hospital for
treatment. Drs. Ames and Salisbury
and Coroner Fairbairn were at once
summoned and made a comprehensive
examination of the wound of the unfor-
tunate man. Although he is alive at the
present writing
HIS DEATH
Is momentarily expected. The physicians
pronouce him beyond possible surgical
aid. On his person was found a receipt
showing that he had paid his dues to an
Odd Fellows lodge in Milwaukee. Dick is
stranger here, having been in
the employ of the stove works
but very short time. He was esteemed
by his foreman as a quiet and we'll be-
haved workman. A number of the lead
ing Odd Fellows have taken the matter
IN hand and kilograms were sent to Mil
waukee, but the particulars of the same
were not ascertained by the reporter.
McGovern was placed under arrest and is
now confined in the police station. He is
considered quarrelsome, and especially
when under the influence of liquor, a
dangerous man.
