volved in the shooting atfray briefly referred
10 last night were Frank L. Igleheart, for
nelly cashier Of the banking house of Bar

nected, and Rush III. Tevis, a well-known
merchant. Igleheart aud a lady closely
yelled came frou house on Singleton street

when Tevis and a companion, who, 1t seems,
had been lying in wait, appeared from an
alley near the house. lewis fired at lyle
heart, wounding him, but not dangerously,
in the arm. The latter fell, and the woman
helped him up, while the assailahis ran to a
livery stable 4 block away; and procuring
their rig, which had been left there, drove
rapidly of. Igleheart, supported by the
lady, walked a few blocks, when a passing
carriage was hailed and they were driven TO
the formers residence. The lady then drove
away in carriage. 1t is supposed that the
man with Tevis was private detective; that
the lady was Tevis's wife, and that it washis
intention to kill Igleheart. All the parties
are very reticent; but the affair has caused
much excitement, as the parties involved
are all we'll known and highly connected.
Mrs. Tevis was Miss Reese, and is a niece
of Gen. Sherman, and Is also niece oil the
late Judge Samuel Reber. Her father Is
colonel in the United States army. Mr.. and
Mrs. Tevis had a meeting this morning.
They have separated, he taking the only
child, little girl three years of age, and
will institute suit for divorce Immediately,
which will be allowed to go by default. The
bones of Mr.. Igleheart's left arm below the
elbow are shattered and the ball ranged up
ward, but the wound is not serious. The
scandal is the topic oil general conversation
in town to-day.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

OF the affair: "Mrs. Tevis is lady well

now in the regular army, but is st present in
ST. Louis. The lady is quite young, with an
exceedingly attractive and intelligent lace OF
the order best described as a red blonde, and
her figure is instinct with grace. She does
not look to be more than twenty, but Is about
twenty. seven, and she has been the charming
center of a very bright circle in st. Louis
society for several years. About four years

connected with the extensive dry goods house
of Crow, Hargadne & Co., and is a son oil
John c. Tevis, an old and respected citizen

there can be no doubt, Tor only lew days
