halls in an excited manner. At 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, while pacing one of the

volver, which he aimed at his head and
fired. Fortunately his hand trembled, and

he sustained but slight injury. The report
of the revolver caused considerable excite
ment, and he was at once taken in charge
and restrained from further violence. Stew
art has been suffering for some time from
nervous excitement, which resulted from q
