A member of the 38th Ill. regiment...

...named Gavin, was shot and fatally wounded in Louisville on Saturday. Gavin was passing a hotel at the time an officer of an Indiana regiment was coming out, and his musket lightly hitting the officer, let to an affray in which Gavin was probably fatally shot, and the officer received a bad bayonet wound.
