ATTEMPTED TO KILL.
Two FInIanders Held in Jail Awaiting Trial In
District Court

Two Finlanders giving the name of
John Hill and Jack Hill, working with a
threshing machine near Nekoma we're
arrested and bound over to district court

with deadly weapons with intent to kill
and being unabl.. to furnish bail are
lodged in the county Jail. The Fin
landers are charged with probably fatally
wounding Erick Narveson, a farmer
residing west of Nekoma, in Ramsey
county. Details of the affray are to the
effect that eight Finlanders got into a
quarrel with some hoboes, all being
under the influence of liquor, and the
hoboes proceeded ts drive the Finlanders
out of town. Mr.. Narveson had his
team tied near the depot and when he
saw the Films headed that way he
thought they might take his team and
so started after them. When the Firms
saw him coming they supposed 1t was
one of the party that had driven them
and the two Hills are alleged to have at
tackled him. one being armed with a
revolver and the other with a knife
The revolver was discharged, but went
wide of its mark, but the knife was used
with terrible effect and Narveson is in
the hospital with terrible cuts in head
and serious wound in one of his lungs
A posse of ten deputies was organized
by the village council and rounded up
the Films. The Hills were held for trial
and the others given sentences in justice
court for disorderly conduct.
