| BERLIN - German police said on Friday six people were wounded in a shoot-out at a nightclub in Bremen between rival groups of foreigners from Albania and Lebanon.
A police spokesman said the incident began when an Albanian bouncer was beaten in front of one club. Two hours later he appeared in front of another club with reinforcements and began shooting, wounding two bystanders.
Fire was then returned from inside the club and spread onto the street.

| doomed miner |
| PHILIPPI, W.Va. - A coal miner left a detailed note showing that he and other trapped workers were alive at least 10 hours after an underground explosion, a family member said Saturday.
The daughter of 61-year-old Jim Bennett, who was a shuttle car operator in the mine, said the note has three or four entries, the first coming Monday at 11:40 a.m. and the last, in words that trailed off the page, at 4:25 p.m., nearly 10 hours after the blast.
“Each time he documented, you could tell it was getting worse,” Ann Merideth told The Associated Press. “Later on down the note he said that it was getting dark. It was getting smoky. They were losing air.”
