The Phoenix Democrat and Enter prise has a thrilling account of a guar rel between Louis Andre, painter, and Earl Sparks, q gambler, which tCok place al Prescott last Monday and which terminated r the death of Andre from a gunshot wound
 The victim was a Frenchman, and had been in Prescott some time, be- ing known. in the tenderloin district. Sparks is a gambler, employed at the Wellington saloon.
 Just before the killing, Sparks ard Andre had been playing pan ia tne Wellington. A quarrel arose concern ing a bet, and Andre, who was a large and powerful man, struck Sparks, who came here recently from Nogales. a vicious blow between the eyes, cutting a dep gash in Sparks forehead
 As Sparks staggered to his feet, it Is said that Andre again struck him. William Fowler. manager of the We'll ington, seeing the tracts, separated the nlen. According to the story of wit nesses of the quarrel. Andre then took his cheeks to the bar, where he re ceiyed their equivalent in cash, also calling fer a drink of whisky.
 Sparks started for the front door of the place. when Andre accested him, saying T am ready to meet you at any time and any place and I can give you all you want"
 To this launt, 1t is said, Sparks de. .clared that Andre had better leave him alone or he would get him, and passed on out the door.
 zF. turned in the direction of the Palace saloon. He had proceeded as far as Foge's liquor house when he again met Sparks, the latter firing one shot at him from a 45-calibre revolver, the bullet striking Andre squsrely be tween the eyes.
 Accoluug to Sparks version of the killing, after he left the Wellington he secured a pistol, and then started back toward the Wellington. when he ] met Andre in front of Voge's saloon
 Sparks alleges that Andre -agair tried to assault him and made a threat ening gesture, and that he immediate ly pulled his pistol and fired enc shot Andre. feA in his tracks his blood ana Trains spattering the snowy sidewa for ten feet around. -iASl
 Sparks WalNo. .- ,he Wellington, hil smoking revolver still in his hand, ant surrendered himself and his weapon tc Deputy Sreiff Frank Burns A doctor was hastily summoned. but Andre wai beyond medical aid, and after twenty minutes of labored breathing, gasnsC his last.
 Failure of the outgoing officers tC capture either Redwine, Mrs. RedwinC or Phillips has stirred the officers whC went into office January 1 to make new year resolutions to leave no stone unturned to bring about their capture
 The hunt for Redwine and Phillip: will be taken up with renewed vigor and during the next few weeks al least one of them will be landed be hind prison bars if it is possible tC catch either of them.
 The fact that Mrs. Redwine haS all her effects packed yesterday and was on the point of leaving the cits leads to the impression that Phillips also has his trunk locked and ropec and was ready to leave with her, bu for tbe legal steps taken by Mrs Boone in the probate court.
 Sparks, it is thought, was formerly a painter and was located in Bisbee in 1902, during which time he followe1 his trade of painter, later going tc Douglas where he became a roulette dealer. working while in the smeltel city at the Waldorf saloon.
 Reports from Prescott this morning were that public opinion sides with Sparks, who is believed to have shot Andre down when he feared the latter might do him harm. It is beiiereo 1 that the coroner,s jury will justify Sparks in the killing.
