Yesterday afternoon, about 6.30 o'clock, a call was received by tel- ophoiio at police headquarters from the W. X. C. R. E, depot, in this city, asking that officers be sent there at once to arrest a man who had tried to kill tho Pullman conductor on the mail traiu going 'west. Accordingly, officers Haikins and Hamton, accompanied by t hief W .Khlell, jumped 111 a car ii;p.ro. and upon arriving at the depot saw Higgins, pistol in hand, making for the timber. Tho of ficers save chase and were rapidly gainiug upon Higgins when the latter threw his weapon into a thicket and redoubled his speed. Officer Harkins followed him and finally succeeded in running him down. Uoth prisoner and officer were nearlv exhausted after the long run, and when help came in the shape of officer Hampton, who had stopped to secure the pistol, the prisoner was put in a carriage, brought up town and locked up. It seems that tne prisoner vas drunk, and had repeatedly tried to force his way into the drawing room car, but had each time been t jeeted by the conductor, whose name we could not learn. After Higgins had been put out of the car several times he tried to strike the conductor, who knocked him down with a rock. Higgins jump ed up, drew his pistol and tired 0110 or two shots at tho conductor which fortunately missed him and entered the -woodwork of the car on the steps of which ho was standing. The train then moved oil' and Higgins hied the remain ing cartridgiS into the hot:t of a colored woman near by. which terribly frightened the occupants. Thoy ran out screaming ami it was at this j mi c turn that the po lice officers arrived. Higgins inquired very particu larly about bail when searched at the 'station-house, and wanted to know if he could have a hearing at once, ami also whether or not he would be sent to the county jail. To all of these questions Chief Wiiddell answered in the negative, and the prisoner was locked up until this morning when lie will have a preliminary hear ing before Mayor Harkins.
