Excifenent ON Elm.

About three o'clock yesterday eve.
ming the report of gun rung out on
the sultry air, startling the dwellers
on Elm street, near the corner of Poy-
dras The streets were Immediately
filled with crowd, who were eager to
learn the cause. A little boy came
running across the street crying that
man over the way had shot some
body, and before he could be further
questioned, disappeared around the
corner, running down Poydras street.
The crowd WAS thrown into a state of
excitement by this report and rushed
across the street In body, when 1t
was learned that the report of the gun
had come from the gunsmita shop of
G. b. Gritlen. The shop was soon filled
to its utmost capacity, while there
were quite a number who failed TO
effect an entrance. A man about thir-
ty-fve years of age sat in chair look
ing pale and haggard as he clutched u
gun in his hands. Mr.. Griffen came
forward and stated to the crowd that
there was no one hurt, and pointing
to the man sitting in the chair, said !:
ut was only my clerk testing gum"
And SO 1t was. The crowd was com.
pletely sold, and times are too dull to
lose what might have been first
