On Wednesday evening a shooting af-
fray took place in Denver between Fred
Locke and Joe Lowe. There are sew
eral stories afloat in regard to the mat
ter. One is that Lowe, who was once
a bartender in Locke's saloon on Lara
mic street, entered the place of the lat
ter, and as there was ill-feeling between
the two, SOM bad language was used,
and Fred Locke, the proprietor, order
ed Lowe out, and when he refused to
go, took a pistol from a drawer and re-
peated his order. Lowe sprang upon
him and in the scufle the pistol was
discharged. Another statement is that
when Locke ordered Lowe out he start
ed to go, when Locke followed and fired
at his head, barely missing him. Both
men were arrested. Lowe plead guilty
to the charge of using abusive language,
paid a fine of s15, after which he sued
out a warrant for Locke on the charge
of assault with intent to kill.

FREUND BRo., Cheyenne, Wyoming:
Gentlemen:--I have received the
Sharp's Rifle left in your hands for re-
pairs and alteration. The double ejec-
tor spring and the rounding off of the
inner edge of the breach-block are inn
provements which only need to be seer
by practical men to commend them
selves for general use. The beauty and
perfection of workmanship in this, as
in other repairs 1 have had made at
your establishment, are entitled to the
highest praise.
Very respectfully
Your obedient servant,

Foun d Guilty..

Jno. Mcpherson, who was arraigned
before Judge Fisher IN the charge of
stealing a coat from Henry Allen, at
Joe Dyer's saloon on Sixteenth, was

alone, that prevents any increase Of the judges
OF our highest court
Aleck Stephens introduced, some days ago,
o bill increasing the Supreme Court from nine
to fifteen justices. The Democrats, while ac-
knowledging the necessity OF such an increase,
refuse to vote for 1t on the ground that 1t
will enable Hayes to fill up the Supreme
Court with Radical judges, and keep that
branch Of the government In the hands of the
Radicals long after the votes Of the people
will have dislodged them from the Senate and
the Presidency. They announce, therefore,
their determination to wait until 1881, when q
Democratic President will be seated in the
White House, before passing this act. If the
Democrats are successful in 1881 in securing
the Executive, the probabilities are that the
Republicans will act as the Democrats do to-
day. and vote against any increase Of the
court. The mutual jealousias of the two par
ties will thus prevent the contamination of
this measure until one party gets control Of
all three branches of the government, the
Presidency, the House and the Senate. for If
the Democrats had the House and the Presi-
dent the Republican Senate would object to
the increase just rs to-day the Democratic
House objects to 1t, although the Senate and
the President are willing.
