The San Diego World says: one
of the men on board the steamer
Oriz0ba, while unloading baggage
this morning, was accidentally
shot. 1t appears that a passenger
had a loaded gun wrapped up in
his bed; and in handling it the
gun was discharged, the contents
lodging in the hands. arms, breast
and head OF the unfortunate sailor,
he received over forty sh0t-in one
hand and arm, over thirty in the
head and neck, and many in the
breast. One eye is certainly lost
and the other seriously injured ,
He is in a critical condition. The
carelessness Of the passenger in
leaving a loaded gun wrapped up
