IL. H examiner Oct. zsl
A large audience, composed part
" Of naval officers and other dig
nitarios, was present last evening
ct Platt's Hall to witness the result
Of an assiduous training of an In
dian boy, Otto, by the well-known
Captain Macdonald, in the "art Of
ar3s," . fancy drill consisting Of
many grotesque and varied move
ments and skillful Workmanship.
After . display Of some dissolving
views from . stereopticou, the boy
Otto Was introduced with his rifles.
His nrst shot was at small taper,
1t . distance Of fifteen feet, which
was snuffed in the neatest manner.
Al the next shot he came to the
front, laid his rife six feet from
where he was standing, turned q
s0mersault and, picking up his
rife, cut the string of q sus-
pended figure to the rear.
Tue third and most remarkable
shot of the evening WAS the follow
ing: A plstol-barrel was placed in
. small steel frame, directly be-
hind which was fixed razor, and
on each side OF the edge was sus-
pended two glass balls. The boy
was then brought to the front, and
after taking hts position, was COM
pletely blindfolded. Turning then
TO the object, he carefully raised
the ride, and after q moments hes.
itation, fired and accomplished the
fsat Of sending the ball into the
pistol barrel, splitting 1t upon the
faxor's edge and breaking both
balls. An idea can be formed of
the boys wonderful gift when 1t is
stated that this shot is done by the
power of location. he being able to
aim with deadly precision simply
by taking q position directly in
front of the object and securing his
aim by . certain degree of pressure
Of the rifle stock against his shoul-
der aud right cheek. A loaded pis.
tol Was then placed at right angle
from the marksman, and in front
of 1t three suspended balls. At the
word he picked his rifle up, and
whirling around, struck the trig.
ger Of the pistol, discharging 1t
and breaking the balls. This feat
was followed by the breaking of
eight balls secured by perpen-
dicular board. Another exhibition
Of his skill was his carom shots,
the boy breaking balls suspended
in all positions behind Captain
Macdonald's back. He next exc.
cuted the feat of breaking thirty
balls swinging in all directions in
six shots, aud in the remarkable
time Of ten seconds. His next was
the shooting of glass balls thrown
Into the air without aim, as card
was fastened on the point of his ri
dc. His average in this shooting
10 % per cent. With equal ease he
succeeded in breaking two balls at
one shot. His last feat was done
In remarkable time and effective
ness, and consisted of breaking
about .hfteen balls in rapid success
sion with the use Of his right arm.
his left being secured at his side.
During the shooting the boy
missed few of the less important
shots, but this defect was owing in
. great measure to the miserable
lighting of the stage. The San
Francisco Cadets gave Q short exhi.
tion of their fancy drill, which was
very well executed, especially the
''loading and firing" "bayonet ex-
ercise" and "fix and unfix bay

Frank Martins handsome young
murderer, was under sentence of
death In the jail at Laclede, Mo.
Time hung heavily on his hands,
and for diversion be wrote tender
notes to the Sherifrs daughter,
Maggie. She did not reply to the
first half dozen, and he was on the
poInt of ceasing to write when he
was surprised by q sentimental
missive. Their love.making pro-
gressed rapidly, and Of course they
soon began to plot for Franks
escape. One night the girl I'M
locked his cell, and he saw
that she was In boys clothes with
her hair close cropped. She put
pistols in his hands, led him out of
the prison to where two saddled
horses were In readiness, and to-
gsthsr they rode away. This hap
pened last November. They have
just been caught in Tennessee,
where they had married under as
sumsd names and settled down to
farming, but while being conveyed
to Laclede on the cars, Martin
jumped from the train and made
his escape, though he was hand
