Az UEFoRrUSATE AFFAIR.-A very
unfortunate affair occurred in this city
yesterday, involving, perhaps, the life Of
one OF our citizens, A quarrel had
sprung up, from some cause Or other,
between NJ. A Hayhurst and w Q.
Mitchell, and the latter had been very
abusive Of the former, and had called
him many hard names, but Hsyhursi
had RETAINED from resenting the abuse,
While Mitchell was abpsing Hayhurst
policeman Newman came up aud re-
quested him to be quiet and not disturb
the peace Mitchell became incenssd 81
this interference, and attempted to whip
Newman, and did strike him once OF
twice. For this be was arrested by Mar
shal Tenvorde, and tae Mayor Gned him
for an assault and battery on Newman
! Immediately after lssxing.the Mayor,
office Mitchell again commenced abusing
Hayhurst, who had just been witness in
the case, and, AS we are informed, applied
to him the most opprobrious epithets
when Hsyhurst, goaded by his repeated
abuse drew a revolver and fred TIRES
shots, one of them taking effect il
MncAelfs side, penetrating to the cav
hy Of the chest and producing a wouns
from which the Doctor thinks he viii
not recover. s
Hayharst was arrested and held to bal
in the sum of 81 900 to await furtber::de
velopments. 49, s bsa ~
Mitchell, latter being shot, walked from
near the Mayors on Second street to hil
soloon, on Water street, where be hsI

other illustration of the danger of |
