The trouble started shortly before Q
o'clock, A half dozen foreign lsborers were
In Bakers saloon when one OF them be-
came involved In dispute with the bar
tender and the others took part In the row.
All were elected from the saloon A few
minutes later one OF them returned with
double barreled shot gun and revolver
and opening the door began shooting prom
lscuously.
After the shooting the men ran to the
boxcar, where the laborers were housed
by the railroad companies, and threatened
their pursuers with guns. Justice Martin
Christensen took charge OF the hunt and
posted guards about 3 o'clock around the
car, This morning the car was searched
and about twenty occupants lined up, but
the men we're not found.
II Is now believed they escaped from
the car before the guard was posted ana
walked across country TO scribner. which
Is fourteen miles away. The other Italians
returned 10 work this morning and there
was no hostile demonstration against them.
OF the men shot last night Charles
EGnig was injured the worst. having a bull
let wound In the flsshy part OF each leg.
From the number o. shots fired By the
Italians and the bartender and Oscar Lind
