day at noon by a fight between Mr., Yogel
and one of his bOarders, John Gregg, a b.
& o. yard brakeman, in which Vogel was
hit upon the head with a rock, cutting
quite a cash and causing blood to flow
freely, but not seriously injuring him.
Gregg, to save trouble, plead guilty, and
was fined $40 and costs. Mr.. VOgel claims
that Gregg owed him a board bill, and that
when be asked him for the money Gregg
hit him. On the other hsnd Mr.. Gregg
says that he only owes him three or four
days board, and his general reputation is
not that of a man who does not pay his
debts. At the time Vogel was struck he
had hold Of Gregg, and Gregg told him to
let go or he would hit him. Failing to
comply with the order Gregg struck him.
There has been trouble between the parties
for some time. In to-day's trouble NOgle
undoubtedly started the fuss, although, of
course, this does not justify Gregg's hitting
him with q rock.-BsLiaiTe Tribune.
