 William Roberts was in charge of one the engines of the douole-header pun ing delayed northbound passenger train No. 2, which reached the city late. AS he stepped from his engine, MT. Guy approached him. Without any pAriey- ing 1t is understood, Guy seized Rob erts and threw him and began pummel- ing him. Roberts, when seen at po- lice headuuarters this morning, had a mark about one inch long under the right eye It was stated that Roberts got from under Guy, who is much taller and stouter, and started away, 'juy again started at him and Roberts pulled a small bore pistol and fired.
