R|NGL|NG ENGINEER IS
LAID Up At TER FIGHT
WITH SOLDIER R-F|REMAN \

Robert Bell, q locomotive engineer
on the Ringing line, is in semicon-
scious condition at his home ON IL
street northwest as the result of an
alteration last night with his fire
man, Elmer Webb. Physicians say he
may have a fractured skull or concus-
sion of the brain.
Webb, who was discharged from the
347th infantry, S7th division, about four
months ago, was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Jim Carter after the difficulty
and is held pending the outcome of
Bells injuries. AS yet no charge has
been preferred against him.
The two men are said to have had
trouble on the run yesterday, which
ended in fight about 1880 O'Clock last
night while the two were on their way
home from the roundhouse. Bell is
said to have told three different stories
about the affair, when able to talk.
He first said he was struck from be
hind with an iron bar Next he was hit
by a rock. His third version was that
he suffered from pair of knucks.
Webb, who is a smaller man than
Bell, says that Bell has been abusive
toward him for some time and during
the run yesterday continued to heap
abuse and curses upon him. Webb
states that he said nothing while the
men were on the engine, but that when
they started home from the round
house he told Bell he did not intend TO
stand for his abuse and wanted him
to cut it out" Webb says Bell then
said: You're too little to fight" and
then struck at the fireman. Webb says
he warded off the blow and picked up
a rock and with hand grenade tactics
hit Bell on top of the head, causing
the cash. He says they then fought
with their fists for short time until
Bell asked him not to hit him again.
According to Webb, the two men then
walked down the street together after
the fight for two blocks. Bell saying
he would have Webb arrested. Webb
further stated that Bell was not in
groggy condition when he left him
block from the engineers home.
