BLOODY FIGHT on TRAIN.
Finlanders Use Knives With Probably
Fatal Results.

A desperate fight between three Fin.
landers occurred on a Northern Pc
cific train between Moorhead and
Glyndon. The men were on their way
Fast and got into a row, knives
flashed and the passengers in the car
fled from the vicinity of the fight.
Henry Newman, one OF the party
engaged in the fight was terribly cut
on the neck, head and face. the most
serious injury being cut on the neck,
the wound extending from the back
of the neck to the point of the jaw
and being about two inches deep.
Newman was taken from the train
and conveyed to Moorhead. where he
received medical attention. He was
very weak from loss of blood, but If
no complications SET in he may have
chance of recovery. The two FIN
landers who did the cutting were
taken on to Staples and delivered to
the police.

left eye as the result of a gunshot
wound, but although he knows he will
lose his eye he will not tell the name
of the boy who shot him, because it
was only an accident. He is Rhein-
hart Hornemann, eight years old, and
lives at Young America
The boy, in company with several
companions, took an air gun and went
out to shoot rabbits. No one knows
how it happened, for Rheinhart won't
tell, but he came home an hour later

counties of southwestern Minnesota
that came into existence under the
