A SHOOTING AFFRAY I At the Stonewall Hotel-Soveral Shots Exchanged. BOTH PARTIES WOUNDED. A shooting affray occurred at the Stonewall Hotel, in this city, last Thursday morning, between F. G. Key, lessee of the Exchange Hotel before its destruction by fire antd l. F. Curtis, representing I. L. Lyons & Co. wholesale drug. gists, of New Orleans. Several shots were exchanged and both participants wounded, though not dangerously. Curtis used a 38 calibre 5 shot Smith & Wesson re volver. Key had adou.ble barreled derringer, both barrels of which were fired., Curtis was shot in the right hand, as he was in the act of drawing his weapon, so he inforu, ed a representative of the Louist ANA DI)OCKAT. Key was shot just below the nipple on the left side, the ball striking a rib, and causing it to glance towards the bask, where it was extracted by Drs. Rnsbing and Moseley. Curtis says that he ceased to fire after his antagoiist had fallen to the floor, whereas Key, as positively declares that he shot at hiem twice while he was i3iug helplessly upon the floor. Mr. Tom Charles, the proprietor of the Stonewall, the only witness to the collision, is' doubtful as to who fired the first shot, but tath er inclines to the opinion that the discharges Were simultaneous. Each of the principals contetld that the other was the aggressor and of course, the te-stimony of the one neutralizes that of the other. Upon the ipeliminary examina lion of Curtis the next das, Judge l nunter adlmitttd him to bail in the sum of $500, which was readily furnished. Ile also stated that he would place Key under the saute Ioud, as soon as he was able to appear. The cause of'the rencontre ap pears to be the receipt the day be fore by Mrs. Curtis-who with her husband, was stopping at the Stonewall Hotel-ofanu anonymous and insulting note. Curtis called upon Key and charged him with having written and sent the note, which he denied, explaining that the letter was pl.t in his hox at the piost office and after taking it out, lie sent ii to the lady by the porter of the Stonewall. This meeting between them oacurred the even ing before the nmoruina of the per somal collision. Key says that he went to the hotel that morning in pursuance of his usual custom to board a •bus7," for tlhe depot, in order to biring in his guests, he having reitedl rooms since the fire from Mrs. Osborne anld furnishing trav. elers with lodgiig and boarding on a limited scale. When ie entered the curridor of the hotel, he saw Currts coming out of the saloon, when the filing comnmenced with the result already indicated. The strangest part of the uufoirt. unate collision, however, is. that the letter, which seems to have been the iunnooeut cause of all the trouble, was niot even incidentally ailuded to, mnuch less prodtuced in eVidence on the preliminnry ex amination. People of an i:qnisi tive dlisposition will naturally wonder why its contents were sup. pressed. At this writing Mr. Key is do ing well and his nimay frields hope to see him upon the streets in a few days. -A man maydrees as well as his own good judgment aind the as. sistance of an' artistic tailor uaiy elect. lie may take his "tubs" but if digestive organs are out of order, he will have an unwhole some appearance.
