A Real tragedy In a Texan Theatre.

Two men named Thompson and Fisher, who
had been drinking together, entered the San
Antonio theatre in each others company. They
met q man named Foster in the dress circle,
and some words were exchanged, bringing about
o melee, during which Thompson and Fisher
were killed and Foster wounded. The circle
was quickly cleared, the occupants jumping in
to the parquette below and through the side
windows into the street. No one sesms to know
who fired the first shot, or how many were en-
gagged in the shooting. After the firing, Thomp-
sons brother put in an appearance, but was
promptly arrested. The remains of the two
victims wers takenin charge by a hostof friends,
and obsequies have been ordered on the grand
est scale, regardless of expense. The theatre
where the ARRAY occurred was the scene last
year of tho killing, by Thompson, of Jack Har-
ris, then proprietor Of the place. Fisher and
Thompson were probably the two most desper-
ate and widely-known men in Texas, and have
each killed a fabulous number of their fellow
citizens, At tho inquest, the jury found that
tho killing was justitiable, and done in self-de-
tense. There was no direct testimony as to who
did the shooting, but evidence went to show
that Foster one of the proprietors who refused
to shake hands with Thompson, who was drunk
aud had a year before killed Fosters partner.
