Tlle uuirt anil relM'so which Cnn,p Doualns
has enjoyed sincc thu departure of most Of
tic soldiers for Culnrutif, was suddenly
brokcn yesterday ns0rnil1g ut twenty minutes
nj 10 o'clock by reports Of pistol sl'ots. When
tho various PERSONS whu heard tho exchnngs
III shots hntl reached tho spot from which
Western was lying OIL the ground, mid III tho
smoke, Which Ind mt yet cleared away,
stood Dr. Lc Compile, holding pistol Dyer
the proStrntG man. UDtll llien were blecd-
Ing. The excitement lit the cnnip WIS most
intense, and in n very short tine tho report
reachetl Xfun TINT two members Of the post
had been shot
III account for the shooting there arc two
stories. The first Is RpocryphA, and IL given
merely as tnls. 1t Is tu tho effect tint Capt.
Western has been spying the movements Of
Dr. Le Compile ln the city; that tho Inter be-
| carle aware of the fact, MID that t,ls tho col
llsfon WIS brought about. This, however, Is
denied By DIR. 1.o Compile, nnd certainly Capt.
Western would not wish to be thought taking
part In such sneaklng proceedings. This
report can he SGT down as LII no way con-
nectcd with the truth.
Tic true account Of the unfortunate affair
Is rs follows: On Monday night Or. Lc
Compte, with other gentlemen and ladies'.
was the guest Of q certafn officer OF tic
post. While at the table one of tile ladies'
