Trouble.

Alex. Roane, Hanover negro, who
came TO Richmond with load Of produce,
was accidentally shot in the hand yes
terday afternoon. He had a revolver, as
country negroes usually do and he went
into Weinbrunn's pawn shop to exchange
1t. The lady behind the counter was ex-
aiming the weapon, when 1t EXPLODED

through the darky's hand.

for a short time, and some said the negro
had shot the woman. The man was
taken TO the First Police-Staton, and

The ambulance was sent for and Dr.
Iabenberg extracted the bullet.
