FACE ID SHOULDER
FILLED WITH SHOT Double Charge of Ammuni tion Fired by Hunter at Companion; May Die. Dr. J. A.

The trouble occurred on the prop erty of the Illinois Steel company, Bufflngton and as a result both the police at Indiana Harbor and South Chicago are on the trial of the three men. It Is said that the four men were quarreling while on a hunting trip in the neighborhood when one of them raised his shotgun and fired point plank at Riaski. The man who did the shooting and his two companions ran away as they saw the injured man fall and the victim of their wrath would probably still be lying where he fell if it had not been for the fact that he was dis covered soon after by the crew of a switch engine and was removed to the plant at Bufflngton and from there to Dr. Teegarden's office in Indiana Harbor.
