Last night the midnight quietude of
Soledad street was broken by the re-
port of pistol which evidently came
from the Southern Investment COM
pany's office, at the corner of Soledad
and Houston streets, and Deputy Mar
shall Mccall and Justice Barnes, who
happened to be near there, at once
went to the place indicated, expect
ing some serious trouble. There they
found Mr.. Frank Barbour, young
Englishman, brother of Professor
Barbour, and clerk in the office, had
been wounded. They at once
conveyed him to a neighboring drug
sore, rang up a physician,
and it was then found that Mr.. Bar
bour had been wounded in the arm.
After his wound was dressed, Mr..
Barbour explained that he remained
at the office working late, and in put
ting his pistol away, it accidentally
exploded. 1t is fortunate that it did
not strike the region of the heart, as
it was in line with it, and in that
case he would not have been able to
give an explanation of the affair.
There were rumors around the city
that this was case Ofsuicide, but the
facts, as elucidated, do not warrant
any such assumption.
On inquiry this morning LIGHT
reporter was informed that w. Bar
bour was doing well and no danger
could be apprehended from his injury.
