ACCiUKNIALi SHOOTING.
Kb Duiicsm Shot by Jess© Mfiuis—Uiincan notjfa.tally Hurt.
Saturday night about 11 o'clock Eb Duncan, Jesse Mania and another youug man were going home. While in front of David Walsh's house on North Street, young Manis pulled out a 32 calibre revolver and commenced shooting in the air. It seems that Duncan was behind Manis, and that Manis was holding the revolver near his right shoulder. One of the balls struck Duncan in the groin, and made a ••ry painful but not dangerous wound.
From an investigation it shows that the shootiag was purely accidental, as both young men were the best of friends* and always have been. Young Manis was immediately arrested by Marshall Scott and Officer Walsh and put in jail. Manis' preliminary trial will come off tomorrow.
