TWO SHOT IN
FIGHT ON TRAIN
C0l0red Porter and Travelfn0
Men in Shooting Affray
Near WayZata.

The following account Of thu
shooting affray which took place OF
train No. 8, due here las O'Clock
Sunday morning is taken from Sat
urdays Minneapolis Journal.
Two travelling statesmen were shot
and seriously wounded and col.
ored porter was badly beaten last
night in fight on the Great North
ern coast train just outside the city
limits.
The travelling men are William
Conner of Owatonna and John Ma.
gill of Morlett, Mich. The porte,
gave his name as Thomas G. Ro.
gers. All three are in the Robert.
son hospital at Litchfeld. where
they were taken from the train by
the authorities, and are held fo,
Sheriff Otto Langum. Langum
left for Litchfeld in a automobile
late today. The fight took place in
the sleeping car, and witnesses say
it resulted from a quarrel over a
bottle opener. Four travelling men
who were sitting together, asked
the porter for a bottle opener. He
brought it to them, and later re-
turned and asked for it. The men
are said to have denied having it,
and when the porter repeated his
request. one of them struck him
over the head with the bottle.
Rushing to the forward part of
the car, the porter obtained revol-
yer and returned. There was a
free-for-all fight and the porter
fired, it is said, the bullet striking
Conner in the forehead. John Ma
gill, an old man. rushed to the
fighting men, intending to separate
them, and was himself shot in the
forehead. The other travelling men
renewed their attack on the negro,
beat him over the head, cutting his
face and scalp, and finally over
powered him.
The train stopped at Wayzata.
where DR.. j. l. Tibbits was sum-
moned to treat the injured men.
He dressed their wounds, and the
police at I-itchfeld were notified
An ambulance met the train.
Sheriff Otto Langum was notified,
and as the fight took place in Hen
nepin county, the men will be
brought here as soon as they are
able to be moved. Physicians say
the travelling men will recover, but
the condition of the porter is said
to be serious.
The three men who were with
Conner at the time gave their
names as j. P. Lang, William Land
and J. C. eastman, all of Ovation
ma. Magill was not member of
the party and sat several seats away
when the trouble began.

1ident OF the outcome of the meeting,
although each naturally has it doped
out a different way. 1t will in all
probability be a contest between the
heavier muscle and superior strength
OF Deshler and the skill and speed of
the Philadelphian, although Dono-
vans strength is an unknown guam
tity.
AT any rate he expresses confidence
that he will be able to neutralize any
possible advantage in sheer strength
