the NavyYard correspondent of the Pensacola
Observer, writes on the 30th giving the following
version of the fatal occurrence there which we
have heretofore noted:
very serious ARRAY occurred at the Barrancas
barracks, at o'clock P. NJ. yesterday Sergeant
Belts, Of the Tuskegee Light Infantry whose wife
accompanies him. (and who has been stopping at
Mrs. Oldmixon's) was informed that man named
Brown, member Of the Auburn Guards, had in
suited his BETSY wife, which exasperated him so
much that he sent Brown word that he would kill
him. Brown then armed himself, and on seeing
Belts approach him, called on some bystanders to
protect him, which they showed no inclination to
do. He then drew his revolver to fire at Belts
which he did, but some one close to him struck lis
arm, which caused the ball to 20 different drec-
ton, and in an instant Belts rushed forward with
his bOwe-knite in hand, stabbing Brown fatally.
death ensuing almost Immediately. Belts has been
arrested, and an investigation into the affair takes
place to day. This is the most authentic account
of the affair could gather 1t may not be correct
in all particulars as had to take it as heard it.
