ARMY NEWS.

REPORTED SPECIALLY FOR THE LIGHT.
The order Of General Miles, issued
Thursday in Chicago, directing the
trial by court martial of Captain
Nose and Captain Grimes for neg
lect Of duty in connection with the
Chicago Caisson explosion, caused
much surprise at the war depart
ment, as the ordnance officers who
investigated the explosion found
that it was due wholly to defective
ammunition, and absolved all Off
Gals OF possibility, and this
opinion was confirmed by subse-
quent explosion Of the same ammu-
milton at the manuevers at Fort
Sheridan. 1t is conceded at
army headquarters, however, that
General Miles action will probe the
matter to the bottom, and If the
officers in charge are indicated by
the court it will be more satistac-
tory to the service than the ord
nance investigation.

Dumb Witnesses.

One of the most interesting little
hooks in the old county court house
is a small desk drawer in District
Attorney w. r. Camps room. This
receptacle is about eighteen by
twenty-four inches in area, not
over three inches deep and is kept
under constant lock, the key to
which Deputy Sheriff James Van
Ripper has under his care. The draw
err is not loaded with gold nuggets
or diamonds or precious things of
similar character, but with bloody
dirks, despatched pistols and
blood marked rocks, bricks and
coupling pins, all of which are
priceless prosecuting witnesses in
numerous criminal cases now
pending in the Thirty-seventh
District court.
In one corner Of the desk is a
dirk, bloody up to the hilt, dumb
witness against a Mexican who
cody showed the instrument
into the vitals of a rival at
dance or "baile" on the Medina
river. There is coupling pin used
in murderous assault in fight
between some negroes huge flint
rock used by a footpad now in Gus
tody, on some unfortunate victim
behind the San Pedro springs.
Then there are pistols galore. A
little, lady's pistol, one might
say, marked Albert Harry New
ton, the weapon with which
the latter is alleged to have
shot Banker Lockwood some
years ago. There is also the hatch
ct with which a negro cleaved his
mothers skull, and there are dOz-
ems such deadly Instruments, all
carefully marked and dated. Every
time court begins they are sorted
out, and when each offender is
brought TO face his trial, the ugly
weapon that figured in the case
is taken from the drawer and held
up to the judge and jury to give
it's Outspoken evidence.
