| SHOOTING AND PROBABLE MURDER "A diff
Guilty occurred yesterday afternoon in a coffee.
house on the southeast corner Of Circus and
Poydras streets, betweentw men named acques
4 Coinage and Francis Feuger, better known as
Frank Duffy in which the latter was shot twice
| and probably mortally wounded. From what
| we could learn Of the affair it appears that
| Coinage, who is a Gascon and speaks very little
English, applied some insulting epithets to
Feuger, ana few slight blows were exchanged
between them. The quarrel was afterwards re-
newed outside the house, two or three other
persons participating in it, and Coinage drew q
large six barreed revolver, of Aliens patent,
and fired three shots, two Of which took effect in
Feugers side, one near the shoulder blades and
the other lower down on the right side OF the
spine We have been told that the first shot
was not fired at Feuger. and that he received
the other two while running from Coinage. He
walked short distance and fell, and was after
wards taken to the Charity Hospital, bleeding
profusely and in d condition that afforded small
prospect of his recovery. We understand that
! he is native of Philadelphia and has lived
here several years, working at the business OF
blacksmithing. ..
After firing the last shot, Coinage threw
away his pistol, and ran into house some dis
lance farther down Poydras street; fastening
| several doors behind him, he ran up stairs and
concealed himself upon sort OF platform OF
shelf, where he was soon discovered and arrest
! ed by several citizens and officers. When
brought to the police office of the First District

saw the whole affair assured us that he noticed
