four eoIored men seized the COWS, demanded and
received s14 for their release, and then divided

4 SERIOUS AFFRAY.

Two blaeksmiths, named Jerry Robinson and
John Roberts, became engaged In an alteration
on Virginia avenue, between Second and Third
Streets Tuesday night, during which Robinson
was knocked dsEn by Roberts and his skull frac-
tured. The origin Of the difficulty was about as
follows: 1t seems that there was difference be-
tween them about q balance due Robinson for
labor and that on this occasion the latter went to
Roberts shop with cart for the purpose Of re-
moving his tools and ehecttng settlement Dur
ing the conversation angry words were raised,
and Roberts picked up felloe to o cartWheel and
struck RobinEon blow on the head, Telling him
on the spot, and followed II up with another blow
making him senseless Of1cer henna came up
and took Roberts into custody and locked him mp,
and had Robinson removed to the station-house,
where Drs. McWtiliams and Hazen were called
in and rendered medical aid, after which Ofieer
Edelin, removed him to his home, on Seventeenth
street, between d and E streets northwest. Rob
erts will have hearing when the results are as
eeTtaiped,
