Stable Boss ]. T. Lewis and Conductor
Remly of the City and Suburban Railway
Company's West Broad street line will have
q preliminary examination before Justice
Sheftall at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Isaiah
Hall, driver OF one OF the West Broad
street cars, swore out a warrant against
Mr.. Lewis for shooting with intent to kill,
and against Remley for carrying concealed
weapons. 1t appears that Hall took on
basket Of ice on the front platform of his
car last Sunday afternoon and did
not pay the fare on it, and when
demonstrated with by the stable
boss became insulting and assumed a
threatening attitude with the handle of his
whip. Mr.. Lewis having told him he would
dock MIN rs cents, he called on Remly for
weapon, and the conductor took a revolver
from his lamp box and handed it to him.
Hall in the meantime broke and ran, Lewis
firing three times at him, but Intellectually.
Hall has been cross-warranted.
