An accident occurred in the black
smith shop of Mr.. Ranal, on Alameda
street, yesterday which it is feared
may be attended with fatal results to
one of the workmen named Baker. A
Spaniard, whose name we did not
learn, brought gun barrel into the
shop and requested Mr.. Raynal to
make o drill from it. The barrel was
accordingly laid on the forge and
heated when it exploded, driving the
charge into Bakers thigh who, as it
happened, was standing in range. DIR.
