The indiscriminate firing of thirty
two revolver this morning caused con-
siderable excitement among the people
who we're standing in front Sof the
Benedict and Tarbe11 building on
Market street. The men had no warn
ing as the shot was not heard, but the
first they knew of the shooting was
when a bullet struck the wall with
great violence and caused the men to
fly in all directions. From the appear
ance of the bullet it must have been
fired from some building in close prox-
unity of the building struck, as the
force with which it struck the building
was sufficient to fatten the bullet.
Such a careless use of firearms should
be investigated by the police of the
city
