Careless Use Of a Revolver.

Yesterday afternoon people near the foot of
Exchange street were startled by sound
similar to the report of pistol, and several
storekeepers rushed to their doors to ascertain
the cause. A moment afterward the impress
sion was confirmed when a roughly clad indi-
vidual passing along Fore street was seen to
draw from his outside coat pocket smoking
revolver, and at the same time beat out sparks
of fire which had burned small hole in his
pocket. The man had been walking along
with one hand carelessly on the weapon as he
gazed at the different show windows on the
street, and the revolver was accidentally dis
charged. The ball passed across the street
and entered window of Gill's restaurant,
struck the wall and glanced across the room,
narrowly missing Mr. @. B. Nash, who was in
the saloon at the time. Had any one been
passing by the window at the time, serious
accident would have been the result, as the
revolver was a powerful one and above the
ordinary size.
