Show Shot Himself. About dusk last evening the report' of a pistol shot in the vicinity of j Walker Brothers' bank, was followed1 by tho shaipcry of some one in agony, j The first thought which flashed into the minds of those who heard the pistol and the cry, was that another I homicide had been committed, and there was a general rush to see who ( was the unfortunate victim; but ( instead o I finding some one writhing j in the agonies of death, they found I one of the little Italian musicians who have been entertaining crowds on tho streets for the last few days, with a bullet through his lea hand. The little f'ilow said that some one had shot him and then run away, but for what cause he could not slate. However, How-ever, from the facts of his hand being powder-burnt around the wound, and a little four-bar rcleJ pistol, which had recently been discharged, being foui d in his pocket, it is thought that he accidentally shot himself whi'e "fooling" "fool-ing" with the pistol. The wound is a painful one, some of the bones of the hand being broken. Dr. Fowler dressed it. |
