BIG SCENE ON TOULOUSE STREET-The Dem
ocratic Orator Rollins on The Rampage
On Thursday night last the denizens on ard
around Toulouse street were thrown into
great CONSERVATION by the report of pistol
shot, which resembled the discharge of a
small battery. Further investigation proved
that the firing had been done by Willis Rol.
Inns, the Democratic colered orator. who
resides on Toulouse street, in house own
ed by Mr.. George, who keeps an oyster and
eating saloon in front, Rollins occupying a
back room up stairs, taking his meals down
stairs in the rear room. 1t appears Rollins
had just finished his supper, and was sitting
in the diningroom, when q woman, whom it
is said is of doubtful character, named Anna
Hall, and with whom Rollins has had some
financial transactions, came in and asked
for some money to get pair of
shoes. Rollins said he had no money, but
his credit was good, and if she would &C.
company him he would get her pair. The
twain then proceeded to shoe store, and
the woman examined several pair
but could find none to suit her.
Rollins thereupon selected a pair, and
told her if she could not take those
she couldn't have any. The woman refused
to take them, and Rollins left and came
back to their residence, the woman, to use
his own expression, continually bother
ing" him. Rollins had been drinking, and
was to use seafaring phrase, about ''thret
sheets in the wind" After they had been
seated few moments, the women again
commenced 'bothering," and Rollins TOLD
her to quit, or he would shoot her. Thu
woman paid no attention to his threats, anC
continued, whereupon Rollins drew an old
fashioned, seven-inch single.barreled der
ringer, and loaded it up to the muzzle will
powder, and fred it out of side door in |
contrary direction from the woman, he sai(
for the purpose Of soaring her off," She
was scared off, and was not the only on'
scared. So great was the conclusion thai
all the lights (four) in the room were ex
tinguished Immediately.
After order was restored and the occu
pants became themselves again." Rollin

Mr.. George, the proprietor Of the houst
said he had no idea of making a charg
: against Rollins, as he fully believes he ha
d no intention of hurting the woman, an
e that he was 'in liquor" and did not exactl
e know what he was about. Rollins VIZ
