RODGERS BOUND OVER.
Held in $7o0 Bonds Charged With As- sauIt-Fine of $25 and Costs for ReveIIo.

Domonecco Rodgers, charged with assault with intent to kill, and Antonio Revello, with carrying concealend weapons, were before Judge William A. Arnold in police court Monday morning Rodgers entered a plea of not guilty. Revello entered the same plea.
 The Rodgers case was first taken up. Revello testified that he and Rodgers had had a few words in a house on Jackson place. He came to this city from Taftville Saturday evening and that he saw Rodgers for the first time on Sunday. Rodgers went out one door and witness went out another. He saw Rodgers on the street a little later.
 Revello was in the yard and Rod gers. aiming a revolver at him, cried Stand up there, I'm going to shoot you" Rodgers fired the revolver twice. Someone passed witness a re- volver, but he did not use 1t, but put it in his pocket as Rodgers ran down Jackson place.
 Miss Anna L. Robinson testified that she was in her house and saw Rodgers standing out near the alley. Saw him discharge the revolver twice. could not see at whom he was shooting. She knew Rodgers and positively identified him as the man who fired the revol- yer.
 Mrs. Francis Hines heard the two revolver shots and upon going to the door to ascertain the reason saw Rodgers running toward the railroad tracks very fast. He bumped into her little boy and knocked him down.
 Herbert W. Smith testified that he was sleeping, but was awakened by the pistol shots and going to the door saw Rodgers hurrying toward the railroad tracks.
 Officer Ernander testified to arrest ing Rodgers in his room at the Irwin house at o'clock Sunday evening. No revolver was found and Rodgers stout ly denied all implication in the affair.
 In lis Own Behalf.
 Rodgers stated that about s.so o'clock Sunday afternoon he left his hotel and went to Jackson place; meeting some friends, they talked for some time. They afterwards went into a house and Revello was there with others playing cards. Revello was noisy and had the appearance of haV- ing been drinking freely. He made some remark to the accused about coming in without being invited.
 The accused. being asked to sit in, did so; Revello commenced to crit icize his style of play until at last the party broke up. Before Rodgers went out Revello hit him a crack in the nose that caused it to bleed. They met later in the yard and Revello had a revolver in his hand and shot twice at the ac- cused and some bystander handed him two bullets to replace the empty car tridges. He thought that Revello was surely going to kill him and began to run through Jackson place as fast as he could. He did not have any pistol and was afraid of Revello.
 With reference to the testimony of Miss Robinson. witness claimed that 1t was untrue and that he and she had kept company" some time ago and had a misunderstanding and that was the reason she tried to put in on to him.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Hunter, who was conducting the case, questioned Rodgers as to why he ran. Rodgers replied: Well, if you had a man shooting at you, and you had no gun yourself you would run as fast as you could. One is not going to stand there and take a chance at being killed when the opportunity to ruk is at hand. No, sir, nobody will stand still and let another man shoot at him."
 ReveIIo's Denial.
 Revello was called in rebuttal and denied that he had shot at Rodgers. Claimed that he could not tell who handed him the revolver He admit red that Rodgers had made no threats against him and he could not really say why Rodgers had fired at him.
