Shooting Results in Murder.

Hammond Tribune: Henry Back the Wabash brakeman, who was shot down by an unknown ruffian near Hegewisch, Saturday night after the latter had broken the air and brought the train to a stand still, died at St. Margaret’s hospital last night about nine o’clock as a result of the gunshot would be received. His wife arrived Sunday morning from their home at Ashley and was with him when he passed away.
