The Accidental Discharge of a Pistol
Last Night Was Fatal

DR.. G. w. Wahl, the river guard at
the Stanton STREET bridge. was fatally
shot last night a bout II o'clock, in the
guard room at this end of the bridge.
The only person present at the time
the accident happened was the Mexi-
can bridge tollman, who is on duty at
night, and who has generally passed
the night with the doctor. Just as
soon as the accident occurred the Mex
lean ran over to the Santa F'e street
bridge and notified Inspector Will
Watson, who was on duty there. Mr..
Watson Immediately sent for doctor,
and DR.. White res uonded and the
wounded man was removed to the Sis
ter's hospital, where at first it was
thought the wound was only slight, but
on thorough examination this morn
ing DR.. White was convinced that the
wound was fatal.
The accident occurred by Dr.. Wahl
opening a cupboard that had been fixed
to The wall of the guard room and at
tempting TO take out q pistol. The
pistol fell to the floor aud hitting on
the hammer, went Off and the ball
struck the doctor on the right de Just
under the first rib, ranged upward and
lodged just beneath the skin under the
shoulder blade and Just to the right of
the spine, passing through the lungs,
and 'the doctor thinks touched the
liver. After being shot the doctors
vitality was so strong that those who
saw him did not think he was seriously
hurt, but after daylight this morning
he became stupid and then unconscious
in which condition he lies at this writ
ing.
DR.. G. w. Wahl is an old settler,
having resided in the valley for fully
thirty years. He is married and has
large family living at Ysleta, who
were notified this morning of the sad
accident. Many years ago the doctor
WAS post surgeon at old Fort Qnitman
and has seen all kinds of life on this
frontier. He was G. a. r much re-
spected by his comrades. DR.. Wahl
entered the service AS river inspector
on December y, 1895, and when Joe
Dwyer was promoted after Mr. Bendy's
death DR.. Wahl was made brid ge guard
which position he had I'll ed up to last
night, and was well thought of by all
the guards both mounted and station
cry along the river.
LATER-Dr. Wahl died at II 80 this
morning, before the arrival of his FAM
lily from Ysleta.
