A ahooting affair, which came near having
q fatal termination, occurred at Miller & Du.
charme's coffee house, opposite the public
square, last Monday evening. Messrs. g: Co
mean and JEFF. Thompson, between whom
considerable i'll feeling has existed for some
time, met there at that time, and both being
armed with pistols, proceeded to fight it out
Thompson, 1T is said, firing the frat ehot.
Three or four shots were fred, when ThoDp-
sons pistol fell from his grasp, his hand hav.
ing been struck By ball which afterward
passed. through his arm. He then went TO
his room near by, when it was discovered
that be- had received much more severe
wound in the chest. At first it was thought
that this wound would prove fatal, but his
physiciana think he win survive. At last ac-
counts he was doing quite well. Comeau was
unscathed, which is q very strange cir
cnmstance, in view of the fact that the
two combatants were only six or eight
feet apart when they fred at each other. CO.
meau was promptly arrested, but was releas-
cd On parole the aame night at the request or
suggestion of the brothers of the wounded
