A northbound Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul freight near Deerfield was boarded by two maskedmen who shot and killed Conductor Sargent and fatally wounded Detective Owens.

A farmer disabled them with a double-barrel blast, wounding both men identified as Will Lake and W F Gordon, about 44 years old. Citizens, angered by the lynching threat, dispersed the crowd.
