Brought to Grief-Insult offered q
Lady ON a Steamboat the Cause.
From the Memphis Avalanche, Aug. 10.
Front Row, near Madison and Monroe,
was enlivened yesterday by one of those
pleasing little iOterchanges of compliments
and cards, which of late occur but seldom
ard with painful irregularity. About half
past IL o'clock, spruce, dapper looking
little fellow, named NJ. -Loewer slime, called
at the Office of z. i. Warner & Co., Front
street, fer the purpose of seeing Mr.. j. A.
Hsrtmanp, the book-keeper of the firm.
When he announced his name; Mr..
Hartmann expressed himself as being
very glad to see him. Selling bis Wis
itor with the left hand, Mr.. Hartmann
ierked forth valuable cowhide with the
other, and at once proceeded to demon
strate the warmth of bis affection by put
ting the bovine cuticle where it would do
most good, which in this case was over the
head, shoulders and body. The assaiIed
party stood it '1ike little man." when,
wrestling himself from the grasp of the
irate Hartmann, be rsn out on the street
and to the bluff, with the cowhide and its
owner in dangerous close proximity. He
came to The edge of the bluff, just where
the old water tanks formerly stood. AZ
that point there is sheer descent of twentt
feet or more. Not liking to jump, the fl-
gitive stopped and received another dose Of
that of which shoe-strings are made, and
which article, by the way, fairly represented
his feelings at the time. WhScky, whack,
crash, bang. went what was left Of that OK,
and "murder, let GO" went the chas-
Used party, who ran across the bluff to
Monroe street, where his shoulders were
again saluted with the rawhide, and then
getting away made his escape down Man
street. Quite large crowd gathered and
watched the foot race and attendant pro-
ceedings.
=, The cause of the slight misunderstanding
was, Mr.. Hartmann states, the persistent
insults offered q lady friend by the party
coWhided, while the two were passengers
on. the steamer j. D. Parker, frosu Cincin-
nati to this point. When informed of the
fact yesterday morning, he Fl st purchased
the cowhide and then addressed the insulter
note, asking him to call at F.. L. War
ner's, which he did with the above result.
