A SHOOTING AFFRAY.

TWO Sporting Men Into the Trouble.
This morning at the Turf saloon
on South Flores street, four pistol
shots rang out in rapid succession,
and drew quite crowd, as the bar
keeper aud several other men were
seen to run out the front doors. Of
ficer Seffel had on his seven-league
boots and arrived there in time to
catch the warrior with his smoking
pistol in his hand and his mouth
open yelling for blud. The shootist
proved to be Mr.. Calvin Perry, a
his intended victim was Harry Gu
rinsky, hazard dealer. Both were
attaches of the club rooms over the
saloon. From the bystanders who
were in the saloon and from the di-
rection of the bullets by their marks
in the furniture, it was learned
that no one was hurt. The
trOu BILE between the two men dates
from last night when, it is stated,
Perry came up stairs and being some
what intoxicated bothered Harry I'M
til he finally put him out. Perry
swore vengeance and when he
stepped into the saloon this morning
at III O'CLOCK TO get drink, ne caughG
sight of Harry in the back of the
saloon, quickly drawing his pistol he
fired, saying, "There he is now!" and
while Harry lodged and came out on
the street by the back way, Perry
was still shooting at-nothing. Har-
ry had pistol, but did not use it, as
bystanders dissuaded him. Perry
was arrested and is now under bond
of $500 to answer to the charge of as
sault with intent tomurder, preferred
before Justice McAllister. The affair,
as it resulted, is laughed at by the
sporting fraternity and others, but it
might have been more serious if bet
ter shooting had been done.

STANLEY'S FRIEND.

Herbert Ward, the English Explorer.
Who Has Been in the Congo
Region Lately.
New York Sun, Oct. l3.
Among the people who arrived from
England yesterday on the Saale, was
Herbert Ward, the African traveller
and friend of Henry M. Stanley. Mr..
Ward is an Englishman, and he comes
to this country to visit his father and
mother, who are living for the present
in California. 1t is probable that Mr..
Ward will conclude arrangements
with Major J. B. Pond for lecturing
tour here. He was for five years in
charge of the station at Bangala, in
the Congo state in Africa. He met
the Emin Bey relief expedition, under
Stanley's charge, while it was only a
few hundred miles from the coast OH
entering Africa, and was appointed
one of Stanley's ten lieutenants.
Mr.. Ward was put in charge Of the
Camp at Boloho on the Congo, the
first camp established by Stanley.
Later Mr.. Ward went on to Aruwimi,
which place Stanley left Oh June 10,
1887, on the hunt for Emin Bey. Mr..
rd::remained here until March %,
1888, when he returned to the coast
and cabled to the London Expedition
committee the fact of Stanley's long
absence. Then he travelled back up
the Congo again, and at Bangala re-
ceived the news of Major Barttelot's
assassination at Bovalya. Later Mr..
Jameson, a noted member of the Stan
ley expedition, came down the Con-
60 and Joined Mr.. Ward at Bangala.
Mr.. Jameson died of the fever at Ban
gala in Mr.. Wards arms. Mr.. Ward
again travelled down from Bangala to
the coast, and there cablcd to Lon
don the news Of Barttelots's assassi-
nation and Jameson's death. He was
then directed by the London commit
tee to 60 to the Stanley Falls, take
charge of all the effects of the Stanley
expedition left there, and bring them
to the coast. But in the mean time
Stanley had returned to Stanley Falls
and himself taken the stores remain
ing there. Mr.. Ward therefore re-
NAMED at Stanley Falls month
with Tippoo lib, the Arab chief, and
then returned to the coast again. He
left Stanley Falls on March 10th of
this year, and arrived in England on
July l.
Mr.. Ward is a young man and
bears strong facial resemblance to his
friend Stanley. When it is remem-
bered that Stanley Falls, on the
Congo, is 1850 miles from the coast,
the extent of Mr.. Wards journeying
back and forth may be imagined.
Mr.. Ward travelled in canoes upon the
Congo, and the rapidity of his jour
neys has won him good deal of fame
among those who have followed the
A frican explorations.

The White Sox were out dallying with the
prohibitionists again yesterday afternoon,
running away with them by a score of Is
to7.
They will go out and do it some more this
afternoon.
1t was ladies' day, and as a consequence
the attendance was good.
The game, however, was a bore.
Hart was in the box for the visitors, and
he received a fearful lambasting. The boys
hit him Just when and where they pleased.
Sixteen hits with a total of twenty-seven
bases, and eight bases on balls, is the size
OF his afternoons achievement.
And Captain Macullar said he would beat

Of the deepest dye.
Willis opened up as Omaha's delivery end
Of the battery, and did fairly well, barring
his wildness. He allowed the children from
Iowa's capital but four hits and struck out
seven. He gave seven of them bases on
Clarke relieved him.
But one run was scored of Dada nues-
tlonable homer over the right field fence by
the descendant of the man who discovered
Virginia.
1t was foul by a half foot, but Umpire
Hurst didn't think so.
This made Clarke hot, and he told Tim
that he was evincng the primary symptoms
Of decomposition.
Tim smiled blandly and cautioned Dad to
keep busy or the grand stand might fall on
hum.
Then the game went on, Dad knocking
them out rs fast rs they toed the scratch.

She Yearned For the Old Love.

KEARNEY, Neb., August 19.-[Special to
The BEE. An Enoch Arden case has hap
pened here within the past few days, the
facts of which have just been developed
Last winter Emma Nash and Joe Nash, man
and wife, were divorced, the woman bring
ing the suit, charging her husband with Ill
treatment, and number of shortcomings.
The day following the granting of the divorce
Joe Nash married a woman in this city, ana
they have been living together until last Sat
urday night. The first Mrs. Nash married a
carpenter, Ray Mathews, of Trinidad, Colo, e,
last spring, where they went to housekeep-
ing Her only child, by former marriage,
renamed in this city, where il is being cared
for by relatives. Last week Mrs. Mathews
returned to visit her parents, and while here
she had meeting with Nash. She told her
parents that Joe wanted her TO clope with
him, and that she was afraid he would kill
her if she refused TO go along with him, and
feared TO finish her visit here. She started
for her Colorado home on the early Friday
morning train, since which time she has not
been heard from. Joe Nash disappeared
the evening preceding, and it is supposed
that he stopped somewhere west of here
and boarded the same train she took, man
aged to go unnoticed with his first love. 1t
has recently developed that Mrs. Mathews
had been carrying on tender correspond
ence with her first husband, and that the
elopement was all planned TO deceive her
parents, who are heartbroken over the af-
fair.

WASHINGTON, ID, G., August 2l.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Samuel j. Crawford, against whom it
was proposed to institute proceedings for
having, as'the attorney for the Creek In
dians, received 10 per cent of the proceeds OF
the sale of about two million four hundred
thousand acres of their lands IN Oklahoma,
to-day filed with the secretary of the interior
a sworn statement. When the Greeks in
December, 1854, learned that bill was pend
ing in congress TO vest in the United States
the title to the Oklahoma lands they en-
ployed him either to defeut the legislation
or to secure compensation, agreeing to
pay him 10 per cent ON whatever
amount he might secure. He obtained
81, $50, S51 for their interest. The secretary
of the interior approved Crawford's con-
tract after amending it to make the compen-
satlon ga per cent In December, 1885, the
new delegates of the Creeks asked that II
new contract fixing lthe compensation at 10
per cent be entered to he full payment for all
past and future services. This new con-
contract was opposed by the Creek national
council. In September, 1886, Secre-
tary Villas informed Governor Craw-
ford that he would defeat the measure
which was then pending in congress,
to pay the Creeks for their lands unless he
(Crawford) surrendered the contract and
looked to the Indians for whatever com
pensation they deemed just. Governor
Crawford says he agreed under protest to
this arrangement, and since then has Lad no
control over what compensation the Creeks
should give, and they fixed the fee them
selves and without his interference.
