The Adams Street Baron
Bridge.
Another Of the many bloody ARRAYS
which haveg iverM Memphis so unenviable
a notoriety during the past few months
occurred Monday night. The partieu-
lars as derived from different parties,
seam to be about as follows Loeis Mar
neIR is a barkeeper in the Court Elk
change saloon, en- the corner Of SECOND
and Union streets, and Louis CARR keeps
a small confectionery on Adams street,
near the bayou bridge. A short time
since CARR wss in the saloon drinking,
and a dispute arose between him and
merpeIIf relative to payment. IT was
auelled without q fight, and CARR soon
afterwards left the saloon. Between 10
g MI O'Clock Monday, while MarpeHi was
4 going home, lie was suddenly confronted
on the Adams street bayou bridge by
CARR, who at once renewed the old
quarrel. Whether MarpeH or CARR was
I the ageress0r in the difficulty which en-
saed, has not been aseertained but it
resulted in CARR drawing a repeater and
/ firing. Three shots were fired q of
which entered Marpellrs abdomen, in
I hicting what, it Is feared, viii prove q
dangerous wound. He was also slightly
wounded in the left hip Upon being
shot, be a down the street crying out
that he was shot. Garri disappeared,
and, up 10 a late hour last night, had not
been arrested. Yesterday the ball evil

pistol, was extracted from Garri's abdo-
men the other did not lodge.
