Cards, whiskey and revolvers
played havoc among some of the
Italians working for the Milwau-
kee about three miles this side
of Summit Sunday morning.
Several of the men had been

this mixed with whiskey and
talking finally wound up in a
row, and the shooting of two or
three of the number. One
was shot through the thigh,

poisoning. Another was shot
through the abdeman, the bullet
coming out through his back.
A third one was struck on the
