Mrs. Clausen was married to Fred Clausen age 53.

to McGregor, Fred Clausen & Tony Jordon exchanged
words. There was a scuffle and Mr. Clausen was
knocked to the floor. When Tony Jordon shot him
at close range. The bullet shattered his collar bone.
Tony Jordon ran and Mr. Clausen caught up to
Tony Jordon, Jordon shot at him 3 more times. All
bullets missed Mr. Clausen. Tony Jordon starts off after
Dan Lozway. Dan Lozway was the one who had seen
Tony Jordon and Mrs. Clausen in Aitkin and was the one who
informed Mr. Clausen. Dan Lozway managed to evade
Tony Jordon.
Sheriff Newstrom telephoned Joe Hudson to assist
him in the capture of Tony Jordon. Joe Hudson formed a posse.
Tony Jordon  had retrieved to the woods and headed
East on the railroad tracks out of town. The posse caught up to
Tony Jordon. Joe Hudson ordered him stop many times.
Tony told Joe "Go to Hell!" and continued running.  Joe Hudson
shot in the air but Tony Jordon did not stop.
Joe Hudson shot Tony Jordon  in the back with a 30-30
Winchester. Tony Jordon  died 15min later. Fred Clausen

man and could really handle a six shooter. Joe Hudson

Fishing Report

McGregor area - November 6th~   McGregor -

 - , Fishing action has been nonexistent due to the wind and cold.

Most people have turned to hunting over the past week to 10 days.

By most accounts, duck numbers are good and more birds have

moved into the area this week. Grouse hunters also are doing well,

 but archery hunters haven't registered many deer.
