A SHOOTING DRAMA. PARIS, May 4. I was a witness last evening of a revolver drama on one of the main Paris noulevards. A well-dressed young man emerged from a cafe and ran after another young man who was with a girl. Heated words were exchanged, and then the man who had been stopped drew a pistol from his pocket and fired seven shots at the other. A policeman struck the weapon from his hand and arrested mm. The drama was one of jealousy. The man who came from the cafe,, a boxer and aerobatic dancer named Young Francis, accused the other, also a boxer, named Alfred Rouisseron. of having stolen from him. the love of Maryse An--..re, the girl who accompanied Bouisseron, and who used to he Francis’s dancing partner. Fearing the violence of Francis, Bouisscren drew his revolver and fired. Francis, who is in the hospital in a grave condition with five bullet wounds, has boon reconciled wi!h Maryse Andre, who weepingly promised him she would never take another man as a dancing partner. Bonifisercn is in prison awaiting trial for attempted manslaughter.
