Shang Foster, Roxy Queal and
others were involved in a card game at Jack Doyle’s Saloon. Foster apparently
was caught cheating at cards and a heated discussion occurred. Queal then shot
and killed Foster. According to one account … there were many in town who were
able to “riffle” the cards to produce a desired outcome. As a matter of fact, a
number of Minot residents made a “tidy living” dealing cards. The fact that
Foster was so inept at the skill was not acceptable. Perhaps Foster was shot as
an example. Queal then ran out of the saloon and was captured a short time
later on a train he had boarded heading west out of Minot
Tomorrow and Friday more stories connected to this event.
