Killing at Carencro. Young Roger, a son of John Roger, the well known citizen of the sixth ward, last night shot and killed Jean Baptiste Duplessin also of Carencro. The shooting took place at Blot & Francez's saloon at Carencro. The report is that the two men had a personal encounter in which Duplessin worsted Roger who is a man of small stature. Roger warned his assailant to desist and failing to do this, Roger shot at him three times, two of the shots taking effect. Duplessin died almost immediately. Roger surrendered to the officers last night.
