About nine o'clock last night Henry
Frank, a well-known bar. keeper, while I'M
der the influence of beer, had q diSlculty al
No. 80 Monroe street. The result was his foe
i fired at him, but he fortunately escaped In
Jury. Frank returned the fire, but failed to
hit his enemy, whose name is Walter. The
ball from Walters pistol lodged in the wall
and missed Frank about SIX feet. This pre-
else workmanship indicates both nerve anC
bravery of the most wonderful nature. Franz
finding himself untouched by the bullet
luShed nm stairs over No. 90 Monroe street
and after thinking about the propriety o.
arouslng the neighDorhood, fired off his plsto
in the room where he had taken refuge. A!
an adventure of heroic daring this Frank
Walter rencontre is the most brilliant evel
recorded in the city of Memphis. 1t surpasst'
the Franco -Prussian war. Nobody hurried.
