H. J.. Burns, a cook for the track
laying crew Of the Bismarck, Wash
burn & Great Falls railway, was fear
fully carved up with a butcher knife.
in the hands of Timekeeper Brumm,
who has been in the employ of the
road for some time. The carving
took place Sunday morning and Burns
was brought in ana placed in the hos
pital. He was badly sliced up. Both
arms were slashed fearfully, the cuts
extending into the bone, and the flesh
being almost ripped from the rms.
On one arm the cut is above the elbow
and on the other below the elbow.
The worst injury, however, was a2cut
in the head, several inches long, and.
extending through the scalp and skull
into the brain, the cut being smooth
and clean as though done with a sabre.
The principal ill effect of the other in
juries was the loss of blood, which was
profuse, but the injury to the head
may have serious results, although
Burns is resting easily today, after his
injuries were dressed by the doctors,
and is conscious.
The cutting occurred as a result of
a quarrel between the two men. It
is stated that Brumm came into the
cook tent Sunday morning, and had
some words with the cook over break
fast. The cook ordered Brumm to
put a cup into the sink abusing him
and ordering him out of the place. 1t
is also stated that the cook struck.
Brumm with a wooden paddle that he
used to remove pies n similar articles
of food from the oven. Brumm went
after the cook with the butcher knife
which is of the largest of it's class
and resembles a young sabre. The
cook says he thought Brumm had a
stick, not seeing that it was a knife
with which he was being attacked.
Brumm appears to have done a good
job with the knife. He made a few
passes at the cook and laid his flesh
open in several places, besides open
ing up his head. After the ARRAY,
Brumm took a track velocipede and
came to town, giving himself up to the
sheriff. $7
The cook was brought to town at
once and taken to the hospital, phys
icians were summoned and his injur-
les dressed. He was SO weak from loss
of blood that it was feared at first he
would collapse, and the dressing had
to be postponed for a little time until
he recovered his strength. The dress
ing and sewing up of his wounds took
the greater part of the afternoon. He
rallied, however, and was resting re.
markedly well this morning.
Sheriff Bogue and Nels White went
out to the camp, which is about three
miles from the city, Immediately upor
receiving word of the ARRAY, and Sc
cured the weapon with which the cut
ting was done, as well as the woode1
implement with which the cook is saie
to have struck Brumm. The latter
is covered with blood, which poured
over it from the cooks wounds
Brumm had already left for town, ant
was found in town when the sheriff
returned. He was lodged in jail
where he now is.
Brumm is in jail awaiting the acton
of the authorities. States Attorne,
Allen has not filed an information
against him yet, awaiting the result Q
the Injuries on Burns. Brumm ha
always had a reputation in the city a
being a quiet and ~inoffensiye citize,
and it is not believed by his friend
that he would have committed an III
provoked assault. 3s
