in q lively pistol encounter, which re-
suited in the wosnding Of the latter.
the ball striking him on the top OF his
head. Thomas Oates, who witnessed
the shooting. gives the following state
msnt Of the affair I was in the bar
room OF Mr.. Fallmann's, on the Divide.
at the time the shooting occurred. Ford
entered the saloon about 1917 o'clock
this forenoon, and asked for his wife.
Mrs. Fallmann said "Shs 10 not here"
He put his hand in his pants pocket
and took out his pistol. with the inten-
ton Of shooting Mrs. fallmann. MIR.
Fallman, the woman's husband. went
into the bedroom and armed himself
with a revolver. to protect his wife.
Ford, standing at the bedroom door. fired
the first shot at fallmann through the
dosr. the ball passing over failmanns
shoulder. Fallmann returned the fire, the
ball passing through the door. about six
inches below the first one. Ford then
walked out ut the back door and np-
preached some man who were standing
in the street. Fallmann also passed out
at the same door and walked around
the south side Of the saloon to the front,
where he got n second shot at Ford, but
missed him. Ford wheeled and hred al
Fallmann, missing him. fallman thsn
ran TO the southwest corner OF the sa-
! loon, and was followed up by Ford. who
fired n third shot ut him. The ball
struck Fallmann ON the top OF the head.
bringing him to the ground. Ford said.
81 have fetched You at last" and
ran in the direction Of Gold Hill ut the top
OF his speed two men pursuing him on
foot. hui failing to overtaks him. Fall
mann was picked up and taken to his
room. Doctor Hopkins was sum-
moned 10 his assistance. Upon eram.
animation 1t was found that the ball had
not psnstrated the brain. II is thought
that Fallmann will recover. The shoot
ING originated as follows: Ford came up
from Reno on this mornings train, s1-
pecting to find his wife from whom he
had parted about three months ago, at
| Ogdsn) at her sisters Mrs. Fallnan).
ON bsing told that his wife was not in
the house he became snraged ut Mrs.
Fallmann. believing that she was decsiv.
ing him. and was upon the point Of
shooting her when her husband inter
fsrsd. Several members Of the censtab-
ulary force Of Gold Hill and Virginia
have gone in pursuit Of Ford, and will
probably oyertaks him before nightfall.

part Of the scheme Of Bismarck 10 con-
vulss Europe. Russia wal fully advised
Of the intention of Bismarck TO acquire

Ansirs NJ New Orleans.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2G.-Ths Trib'me's
New Orleans special says that the chief
obstacle to 4 compromise between the
Republican and Peoples party, In re-
gard to the management Of the Spring
election, is the opposition Of Marshal
Packard. A prominent McEnsryits,
however, assured the Tribune corrsspon-
dent that he believed u compromise
would yet be effected. $50 far" said
he, ..as the oolorsd members Of the
committee were concerned, there was no
trouble. In conversation with Col. Jas.
Lewis, President Of the Republican Par
ish Committee. and other leading COL
orcd men. I have learned that they were
disappointed with the result, and that
an effort will DO made by them to have
Mr.. Packard excluded in the next con-
ference. They were gratihsd that our
committee wero willing to have the two
colorsd members retained OF the re-
turning Board, and that our committee
suggested the name Of DR.. Rondanss for
the third or non.partisan member. DR..
Rondanes is an educated colsred man,
and for several years previous to and
Just after the war was editor Of the Tn-
b,me, a Republican paper. or late he
has had m active interest in politics, and
the feeling against Marshal Packard
among his opponents is very great. It
is generally believed that he infused suf.
ficient courage to Kellogg to prevent his
resignation during the recent excitement.
and the fact is we'll recognized that he
carries tho greater sharo Of the brains Of
the Republican party Of the State under
his hat.

Tha sancx diamond.

To the Editor OF the Evening fost'
The statement in your paper, few
DAYS since, in relation to this diamond IS
40 different from that Of 6abinet's, read
before the French Institute, that l have
been induced to send a copy OF his TO
you:
Constantinople, during an embassy, by
a baron Of the name OF Sancy, Tor oVo,-
900 livres. During the many years IN
which Henry Nv, after the death OF his
predecessor, was rather an appendage TO
the throne than king in reality, several
of his barons rendered him pecuniary
assistance. and among others the Baron
Of Sancy, who placed the diamond bear
ing his name in charge of domestic,
to be delivered unto the king. In the
brieandism that then desolated France
the servant was attacked and assassin
ated For long time his master knew
not what had become of him, but after
much searching it was discovered
that he lad been killed in a certain
rural commune, and that his body
had been inferred in the cemetery
belonging to the locality. When condo
lences on this discovery were rendered
to the Baron on the loss Of the splendid
Jewel he replied, You are in error, gen.
tlemen; since know where to find the
body of my servant know also where
