Wilmington, July 19—H.J. Southwell, Atlantic Coast Line engineer, was fatally shot last night by H.E. Dallas, yardmaster and special guard at the Atlantic Coast Line yards.
The trouble was precipitated, it is alleged, when Southwell half jokingly referred to Dallas as a “scab.” Dallas is held in jail without bond. There is no indication of trouble now as a result of the shooting.
