Description
People who came down from the copper country on yesterday's noon train say there was almost a riot on the train, caused by the Italians who were returning from work on the road endeavoring to force their way into coaches where they had no business and blood shed was only averted by the prompt measures taken by the conductor with the assistance of the train men and some of the passengers.
