case of n't-know-it-was-loade oc-
Cured in the jewelry store Of Ellis Duell, on
South Main street. this morning A Lithua-
nian whose name was not learned entered
the store and asked for some cartridges, in
which Mr.. Duell deals, and handed to the
stOreIeeper a revolver, so that the size re-
quired could be ascertained. The weapon
had hardly been passed when it was dis
charged, how, Mr.. Duell cannot tell. Every
chamber of the revolver was loaded, but he
did not know it until the shot was fired.
Fortunately the weapon was held with the
muzzle pointed downward. The bullet
struck and fattened itself against the metal
base of large show case behind which Mr..
Duell stood, and then fell to the floor. The
glass of the show case was shattered by the
conclusion, causing fifteen dollars worth of
damage. At the time the revolver was fired
Mrs. Duell, with her infant child in her arms,
Frank Maley, another jeweler, and Max
Reese, with the customer, stood near the
place where the bullet struck. 1t is con
sidered remarkable that none of them sus-
tanned injury by the occurrence.
