A Finnish Fl6ht.

A special from Red Lodge to the
Butte Miner, says: An exciting time
prevailed on the street in front of the
Pollard hotel Sunday night growing
out of a couple of fights. In one of
them Finlander named Hunney was
so seriously injured that he may die.
1t is alleged he was stabbed in the side
by a fellaw countrymen, who is under
| arrest, but whose exact name is not
known to the officers. A big Finnish
wedding was celebrated in Finn hall,
and about 200 were in attendance.
City Marshal James McAllister was
notified that two fights were in pro-
gress in the rear of Coleman's saloon.
He repaired to the scene at once,
he where saw three men engaged in one
fight and two others in one nearby.
All were Finlanders. The marshal
stopped both fights, and admonished
all concerned to keep the peace. A few
minutes later Hunny came to the mar
shall and complained that he had been
stabbed in fight, and described it.
Hunny was forthwith taken to the
doctor, who probed the wound and pro-
nounced it very serious, the knife hav-
ing penetrated four or five inches and
entered the kidneys.
In the meantime the marshal went
after the men who were fighting, and
found one with knife open. He was
arrested, and the marshal started with
him for the city lookup. The officer
loosened his hold to open the door and
the prisoner was off like a shot.
Marshal McAllister took up the
chase, and fired one shot after the fu-
gitive, but refrained from shooting
again for fear of hitting others. He
caught up with the prisoner right in
front of the Pollard hotel. He raised
his gun to strike the fellow when the
latter fell into the gutter with the mar
shall on top of him. The officers gun
slipped from his grasp and flew out in
gathered in an instant.
The marshal was temporarily un-
armed, and he feared there might be
some demonstration from the prison
er's countrymen, such as occurred two
years ago in fatal affair growing out
of a Finnish charivari. The marshal
ordered the crowd to keep back, and
in the meantime Charles Bell and 9TH
ers came to his assistance. His gun
was found and restored to him.
| Later Marshal McAlllster went to
a boarding house and arrested Charles
Hendrikson, who had gone to bed. Hem
drikson is said to be the third man who
was mixed up in the fight in which
Hunney was stabbed.
