MEMORIAL SHOOTING FRAY

C. Roachford, a waiter at Memorial Hall, shot and seriously injured H. Hughes, a fellow waiter, early yesterday afternoon. The trouble started in the servants' dressing room with a dispute over dishes; the men became excited and were soon engaged in a lively brawl. A. Terry, another waiter, attempted to separate the fighters, whereupon, Roachford pulled a revolver and fired several shots at Hughes, striking him in the arm and abdomen. Roachford immediately ran out of the Hall, pursued by Jones, a waiter, and Gale, who is employed in the office. Gale and Jones lost track of Roachford on Harvard street, but falling in with Policemen Baggane and Hezlett, of the First Station, they jumped into a passing peddler's wagon and drove rapidly toward the City Hall. At Dana street the wagon overtook Roachford, the police jumping out and making the capture. Roachford was taken to the police station. Hughes is now in the Cambridge Hospital in a very serious condition.
