STABBING FRAY AT NEW
ULM-MAN NEAR DEATH

Moonshine played its part in a
stabbing fray at New Ulm Friday
night, sending one man to the hospit-
al where, for several days, he hover
ed between life and death. The man
is Merle Griffith of Estherville, Iowa,
member of an M. & st. L. bridge crew
employed in the New Ulm community
and the alteration is said to have
occurred in bunk car, occupied by
the crew.
When police were called they found
a gallon glass jug, nearly half full
of what appeared to be moonshine.
Griffith almost lost his life while
pummeling the wielder of the knife,
w. T. Ranes of Des Moines, Iowa.
Just how the affair started could not
be determined, but it was found that
Ranes dug out his 32-calibre revolver
and threatened to shoot Griffith.
The latter overpowered his would
be assassin, who was finally disarmed
by other members of the party. A
tussle between the two original belli-
gerents followed, and they landed on
bunk where the brawl continued.
While thus engaged, Ranes drew out
his pocket knife, opened it and
slashed and stabbed Griffith repeatly.
Other members of the crew reported
that they did not see the knife until
it was too late. One of the stabs
extended into the mans liver.
Pending the outcome of Griffith's
condition, no formal complaint has as
yet been lodged against Ranes.
