Two MEN WOUNDED AT VIRGINIA.
During row at hurdy-gurdy house on c
street, Virginia, last night, pistol was dis
charged in the crowd and two men wounded.
There are conflicting stories about the mat
ter, some asserting that the pistol was fred
BY 4 policeman named Soule, while he denies
the charge, and states that the shooting was
done by outside parties that It might be
charged upon him for the purpose of bring
ing him into diSrepute as 4 policeman and
getting him discharged. Soule and another
policeman, named Brinton, who was present,
were arrested BY Constable Birdsall, and will
be examined before Justice Atwill. The ball
from the pistol (Which must have been held
low down, and fired pretty much at random
among the legs Of those in the crowd,) grazed
the flesh Of one mans leg above the knee,
then passed into the leg of one-armed
Mexican at the knee, shattering the bone.
and inficting an ugly and dangerous wound.
Two of the chambers of SOule's revolver were
found to be empty when he was arrested, but
there was no smell about the pistol to show
that il had lately been discharged. He ac-
counts for the absence of the two charges by
saving that they were fired out night or two
since at 4 man whom he found attempting to
set fire to house; there were other police
men with him when he fired n this would-be
inccndiarv. On the other hand, there are
several who say they are ready 70 swear that
he fred the shot last night in the hurdV house.
Il appears to be mixed affair.
