The cause of the difficulty i» an »dd fend, ami commencing front a lawsni; for a divorce bmuirlit by W. Mason Robinson against his wife, and in which tbe*ivi»feoe*i ot the Robinson brothers iu vtPvt'd Sloane. In consequence of the «akïïtK* feeling of hatred lias existed bet weeiTv-Uese parties. VV. Mason Robinson bei 11 e summoned on jmy duly had to come to Crowley and »two of his brothers came «vith him. ' On Monday threats weie made by Sloane and the Robinson brothers tri»;d to get Sloane to go oui side ot Hie tow 11 nnd end the difficulty iu a fist fight, but this could not b« arranged between them. To-day T. T. Robinson cauie to town witto his shotguu, as Sloane was carry ing a Winchester rifle, »md Robinson tried to be po'pnred for htm. At 10 o'clock on« of the brothers wtjiif to Sloare und again asked him to put an end to the row by meeting his brother nntside ot town and settling the trouble, as it was nonsense to be making so much racket, and it is claimed that Sloatie re fnsed. Later on as the thre*- R ibinson broth ers, in company with «o«ue other gentle* nu n, were walking from Crowley House to the court house, Sloane fired through the window of Euan's saloon with hin rifle, killing I'. T. Robinson instantly. Ritbiuson fell dead on his <»wn gun, and Sli»ane fired at W. Mason Ri berrsoti, 1 lie ball taking effect iu his shoulder. W M. R»»binst»u was onarmed and ran, aad Sloane pursued him, running sod stop ping to shoot until Sheriff Lvonsgot be tween the parties and made Sloane throw up his hands anil surrender, but not unii! Sloane had put three balls in Rubmsc i, who wa« brought, in bleeding und bailly wounded. Drs. Webb aim January got the balls out at once, and lie is doing as well as could lie expected. Most of the affair was witnessed by the whole court, and it was vciy exciting., as both si»b*a had relali'«*s iu court, Stn ine and the de ceased each have a yonng wife und * >JWd, and the Hadaff.tir istleeply regiet |ed bji'all.
