SMALL BORE MOST DEADLY.
krag-Jorgensen Rifles Will Provo Aw
full in Destructive Qualities.


full in Destr uctive Qualities.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-When the
war department decided 10 abandon
the old heavy Springfield rifles and
arm the troops with the Krag-Jorgen.
sen small calibre repeating rifle it was
predicted by the adherents of the old
arm that the new weapon would dis
appoint its friends in its lack of de-
structive power. This prediction has
been disproved by experiments ma de
by the medical staff of the German
army and repeated by our bureau OF
military information.
The terrible destructive effect OF the
new weapons appears strikingly set
out in this report 1t is said
the wounds inflicted by the
small bore bullet, Notwithstanding
its small size, are highly de-
structive, owing to Its enormous
speed of rotation. which causes the
tissues to he torn within a radius OF
four Inches. The report says:
used at $50 yards, bullet striking
the neck or abdomen means death.
From $50 to 1000 yards. most serious
and in many cases fatal results are Ger
tain to be inflicted by the round bullets
which were in use before $780,"
Our army officers felt that they had
progressed to the line of safe practice,
when they adopted the calibre OF 1852
milimetres or 8 of an inch Tor their
rifle in 1892 and they were disposed to
criticize the navy department when it
went beyond them aud still further re-
duced the calibre of their rifles to elk
milimetres or .236 of an inch, only a
trifle larger than a % pocket pistol.
But now in the last report they con cede
that the tendency of the best author
tiles seem to be towards still smaller
calibre, some professional men assert
ing that the calibre should never be
larger than g. 95nilimetres.
One result of the reduction OF calibre
Is shown by the new navy rifle, which
will shoot point blank up to $50 yards.
This means that at any distance within
two-fifths of q mile a man can shoot
accurately without any allowance for
the dropping of the bullet and is thus
relieved from the necessity Of dust
ing his sights for each range.

ATE WITH A SHERIFF
A Fugitive Boasts of His Power
to Escape Detection.
SAYS HE is FREE FROM CRIME
He Makes Some Interesting Statements
Concerning himself and His
Past Career.

Boise. Oct. 4.-The Statesman has
received letter from Charles O..
Summers, the fugitive from Mississippi
justice who was supposed to be ut the
head Of the gang who attempted to
wreck and rob the Short Line train at
Owyhee bridge some weeks ago. The
letter purports to have been written at
Toronto. Canada, and is postmarked
there. 1t has attached clipping from
the Statesman, in which the story of
his having been here was published.
Summers takes exception to some of the
statements made. He makes some in
teresting statements concerning him
self as follows:
A Reckless Man,
"After my escape from prison in
Mississippi it was thought probable I
would head for Boise, as it was known
1 had money there, hence this belief.
Not only were the banks notified, but
the city authorities likewise and your
efficient chief of police, Mr.. Chinn,
tried to bribe certain parties to betray
me. If 1t will satisfy the curiosity of
your readers TO know the truth of the
report that I ate supper at the same
table in the Spanish restaurant
with that worthy, let me end
their suspense by saying. yes,
such was the fact, but 1t was in April
last, and not recently, as claimed. I
think could go there and do so again
with IMMUNITY. While fugitive.
with reward on my head. resided
in Boise from September l until De-
cember 2 OF last year. While at large,
before, l was charged with
robbing train in Indiana
the 18th of last September,
but was in your beautiful little city
that date. l can prove an alibi, as I
can in this instance. AS to the reward
on my head, you are correct, it being a
good fat one and it, may be possible
some one may earn it, but it won't be
the Boise officials. Very respectfully
yours, CHARLES o. SUMMERS.
"P. S.-The Boise City National
bank can identify my signature.
