Me. is in the Maine General hospital,
suffering from a painful wound, al
though ii is not expected to result
fatally. Warren went into pawn

prietor the pistol was loaded and while
the latter was examining the weapon
it was accidentally discharged; the ball
entering Warren'S body just about the
heart.
A more thorough examination of War

that the bullet is lodged in his left lung,

Gus than at first supposed. Efforts to re
move the bullet We're unsuccessful. An
other attempt will be made. tomorrow,
when the unfortunate young man
chances Of recovery will doubtless be
definitely known.
