~ FATAL ArrRAY.-On Wednesday
last = fatal ARRAY took place between two
soldiers sta,ionsd here. It appears that
they had been drinking pretty freely, and
this Is supposed to be the cause Of the
fight. Q. N. Serssnt J. W. Anderson, Co.
A, 9th Iowa Cavalry. and Sergeant VIM.
Ostrauder, Co. E, 9Th Iowa Cavalry, had
been having some words during that after
noon, but had been reconciled. and locked
arms and went to their quarters. Shortly
after tho report Of Ere arms was heard in
that direction, and then word came that 3
men had been shot After reaching their
quarters it would seem that words had
again been commenced between them, re-
sul,ing in the shooting Of the two above
named and private E. NJ. Jones, Co. G,
same regiment. The 6rst sho. fred bit
Mr.. Jones in the left side passing through
bin. After this shots were exchange ed
rapidly with navy revolvers, all taking ef
feet in QUE or the other; three balls tbro
one. aud two through the other, oil in
their bodies. They then clinched aud fell
to the floor. Sergeant Ostrandes died
shortly after rundown with three ball
holes through his body. He leaves a wife
in Fremont county. Sergean, Anderson
fingered until 9 o'clock when he also ex.
pred. From letters found it appears that
he was q married man. though he claims
to have been single since joining the regi
ment. Ae enlisted in Marshal county, bu:
was no. resident Of the State. Mr.. Jones
lived until about 3 o'clock the next N rn.
ing when he expired. He was from Della.
ware county aud leaves family. He was
trying 10 prevent the men from shooting
each other when be was shot. The Ser
veants we're the best Of friends since they
