some mischief. Last evening the parties met OH the

ensued between Mariana and Anzar, the latter drew
his knife. Augustin ran In between the parties to
separate them, when Anzar struck several blows at
him, cutting his clothing but not drawing blood.
Mariana, seeing his brother Ill danger. drew his
pistol ana fired one shot at Anzar the ball taking

into Springs store, crying that he was shot and
killed, dropping his knife on the floor. Dr. Backesto
was immediately called, ana AnZar was removed 10

day IN Grand street. Both men were what Is known

ably cut overcoat, stylish hat, and having his coal
black hair brushed well back from his temples,
which, however, were half covered with white stick

he was unloading wagon when he was struck from
est pf0vOcaton. He showed q cut on the ear, which
was clotted with blood, OF the effect OF the blow.
Prisoner was quite drunk at the time. This story
was corrOborated by a woman, who saw all that
took place, ana also by the policeman who arrested
Hart.
For the defence the prisoner called several wit

Hart before he retaliated. Prisoner was drunk and
going along the street dropped his cigar, and in
trying to pick 1t up knocked against complainant,
who then struck HIM on the face. One witness
stated that the wound in the prisoners forehead had
been inflicted by the officer making the arrest.
