Earl Sparks Shoots L. Andre

As Result of Quarrel Andre Dies From Bullet Wound Between The Eyes

With his life-blood dying in the snow, and a jagged hole in his
forehead where a 45-caliber bullet had plowed its way into his
brain, Louis Andre, a painter, 39 years of age, died last night in
front of the Voge Wholesale Liquor House on Montezuma street, as the
result of being shot by Earl Sparks, at 10:30 o'clock, following a
quarrel between the two men a short time previous to the killing.

The victim was a Frenchman, and had been in Prescott sometime, being
well know in the Tenderloin district of the city. Sparks is a
gambler, employed at the Wellington saloon.

Transcriber's note: Mr. Andre is buried in an unmarked grave at the
Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
