feet h Globe on w 9CneSday,
 Ono of those deplorablo affairs, a shooting scrape, winch the press is called upon to chronicle, but forum ately are of less frequent occurrence in the West than formerly, took place in Globe on Wednesday evening last. It is not our province to comment upon the causes which led to the lamenta- hie desd, ner to justify or condemn, but simply to record the naked facts as glsaned from eye-wltnesses.
 On "Wednesday an action, brought by Herman Sidow against Jas, c, Evans, J H. Eaton and w. H. Suth- erlaud, to replevin some concentrates, at Pioneer, was tried before Justice Atkins, and a verdict found for the defendants Of the defendants, Evans alone appeared at the trial, and John Newman testified upon behalf of the plaintiff. Newman and the defen- dauts had boon partners in mixing and milling operations at Pioneer, and Newman alleges that he was defraud- cd out of his portion of the communi- ! ty property and proceeds of the work. Tue suit on Wednesday was the result of ;has disagreement, but Herman Sidow alone appeared as plaintiff, and Newman swere enthe stand that he had no interest in tho property in dis. pute.
 About six o'clock ?. m., Evans, ac. companied hy several aequaintances, entered Loves saloon and were stand ing at the bar when Newman entered, passed to the rear end of the bar and ordered @ drink. Meanwhile Evans and those with bum left the bar, and Evans took position just eutslde in | frent of the half of the deer which was closed, the other part being open, E. II. Cook stood on the si dawalk just beyond Evans. Almost immediately Newman drew a 44.Colt's revolver and advanced upon Evans, who faced the street and was nst aware of his dan ger. When within few feet of Evans, Newman fired, the ball striking Evans left arm nsar the shoulders a second shot missed Evans and lodged in q tree box an the sidewalk.
 Evans, who was unarmed ran into H, C. Hitchcoek'S drug store, adjoiR- ing the saloon, closely pressed ly his assaiIant. Thay ran behlnd the pre- scriptlon desk and counter, back out of the iron door. through the crowd of men m front of the postotiiee, east to the corner of Alfred Kinney prem ises. and thence north alsng Plnal creek to a point about opposite Kin neys adobe lodging house, where Evans stepped to pick up a rock, but another ball from Newman's pistol struck bim on the inside of the right thigh and passed through beth limbs, inaicting flesh wound Evans drop ped and Newman put the pistol to ! within a foot or two of his head and irad Simultaneous with the shot Evans moved his head 10 one sida and the ball passed harmlessly by,
 Newman then ran, continuing north, closely pursued by Deputy Sheriff Ryan, who overlook the frei- tive near the corner of Pascoe's cor. { raj. and just as he placed bis hand on ' Newman shoulder there was an eX. plosiou from the latter's pistol and the ball struck Newman on the left jaw, passed upwards aud laid open She cheek as though cut with a knife, and came out at the cheek bone, making a i flesh wound. Ryan grabbed Newman, who ehered no resistance ana was taken up to jail.
 In the meantime Evans had lyeen taken to the hospitaI and Dr. l.srg-at summoned After examining the shat tered arm, the Doc'er decided that amputat;ou would be necessary, and he performed the operation later in the evening, assisted by !. c. Fox. Dr. Larsont also sewed up the weuud in Newmau's cheek
