May Have Owned Property.

1t is thought that the investigation of the
coroner in regard to the possessions of John
Bundy. colored, a citizen of Irvington, who
was killed Saturday night by c., III. & ID.
train. Will develop something interesting.
Bundy lived with a respected colored fami-
" in Irvington. He was somewhat seclu-
sive, but was most intimate with the fami-
ly with whom he lived. However, the
family was able TO get only a limited
amount of facts about his former life.
They received a vague story from Bundy
one day when he was in a talkative mood
that ne owned considerable property in
either Kansas City or in Chicago. When
speaking OF this matter TO the family he
used the names of the two cities confused
lily, and as he never afterwards spoke again
In regard 10 this the family remained ig-
norant Of definite information. Coroner
Beck went TO the house where Bundy
lived yesterday afternoon and searched his
clothing and room for anything that might
lead 10 a clew in regard TO. the property.
However, he found nothing. Ii was also
stated indefinitely that Bundy served in
the late war. He was fifty years old in
stead OF thirty-fVe years, as reported. The
coroner has ordered the body held until
more definite information is learned from
his relatives. who are now en- route to this

Great Northern. At Havre we were
stopped by the tidings that all bridges
were gone and that miles of track <vere
under water. Instructions were received
directing the conductors to transfer their
passengers to Helena via the Montana
Central. At Helena we took the Northern
Pacific for Seattle. We ran about forty
miles beyond Missoula, when the train
was stopped. The track ahead of us was,
for miles. literally washed away, and it
would take at least month to repair it.
Our train was, accordingly, ordered back TO
MiSSOula to await orders; we waited there
for ten days. Fortunately, the town was
stocked with provisions and the railroad
company supplied us with two good meals
each day The train which had gone ahead

outs behind and before. The passengers
were living, We heard, on pork and meal.
when at last the waters began to sub
side We were sent south TO POcatello on
the Union Pacific. But to reach this point
we had to make a transfer by wagons of
ten miles. From Pocatello the track was
in good order TO Pendleton but greatly in
jured beyond that point. Consequently, we
were sent north again to Spokane. Here
We were transferred once more TO the
Northern Pacific and ran south to Pasco
We were then forty miles west of our stop

actual count We made a journey of over
twelve hundred additional miles to get
around these washouts. Lacking one day

We narrowly escaped several accidents

ARMY AND NAVY.

Army officials have given their unequivocal
approval of the use of the pneumatic dyna-
mite gun for coast defense purposes, and sew
eral have been ordered for the Notifications at
New York, Boston, and San Francisco. Other
cities, where Notifications will be erected in
time. will also be supplied with this deadliest
weapon of modern warfare. Three guns are
now mounted at Sandy Hook and two more
will be added, while for the defense of Boston
three will be installed. In recent competitive
tests held at Sandy Hook between several types
of rapid-fre guns remarkable results were OBJ
tanned, which will render it possible to select
some desirable gun at once.
The new rife which has been adopted in the
United States Army weighs only eight pounds
and will kill a man at a distance of Two miles.
With the use of smokeless powder it is said
that the man would be killed before he heard
or knew of the report. The bullet is to be of
nickel or steel.
The War Department having become satisfied
that the policy of charging Army officers with
the duties of Indian Agents has worked to
the detriment of the service, Is relieving the
officers already detailed for this work as fast
as the Indian Bureau is able to furnish civilian
agents to fill the places. The objections TO the
plan are, first that it tends to make the Army
unpopular if an officer is jealous in protecting
the interests of the Government and of the
Indians; and, second, that it is bad practice
to separate an officer from his command for a
long term and impose upon him duties foreign
to proper military service.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Under the
heading of "An Unlucky Sword" there
appears reprint article, Oct. l /, purporting
TO tell the manner Of Marshal Ney's arrest
and his subsequent death as traitor"
have read little about Marshal Ney in the
past, but never read that he ran away or
kept in hiding alter the captulation of
Paris, in 1915.
In a work edited by VIM. Fl. Ireland, and
published i'll $780, entitled Napoleon Anec-
dotes," ETC., there is an account of Ney's
trial and execution. This author was
member of the Athen6um of Sciences and
Arts in Paris, and author of another work,
entitled France for the Last Seven Years"
In Ireland's account of this matter, in
stead of Ney running away and hiding him.
self, this language is used:
Z" So secure did he (Ney) conceive himself
by the terms of the amnesty, as never for
moment TO think of escape, otherwise he
might have passed the French frontiers a
dozen times, rs period fully adequate was
allowed to transpire, had any thought of
flight been meditated."
In proof of this the author quotes state
ment made by Ney on his trial, as follows:
The Declaration was of nature so pro-
tecting that l implicitly relied upon it," etc.
He also said: appeal to Europe and to
posterity."
On the whole, feel convinced that no
such sword figured in his arrest, as stated
by the German newspaper from which the
article is taken.
1t was the manner in which he had WELD
ed the sword that caused his arrest and
murder. His death was accomplished by
the enemies of France, for they looked upon
him, in the absence Of his chief, rs stand
ing menace to them.-ED ]. LYNCH, Wash

Many were the predictions of failure made
by the adherents of the old Springfield rifle
when the Government decided to adopt a
smaller caliber rife instead of the large bores.
1t was said that the new weapons would not
kill man, on account of the small size of the
wound made All this has been disproved. The
report ON the new rifle says:
up to 600 yards bullet striking the neck
or abdoman means death. From 600 to 1,6O0
yards most serious and in many cases fatal re-
suits are certain to be inflicted. Beyond l,600
yards the injuries inflicted resemble those
caused by the round bullets which were in use
before 1860"
The new rife shoots point blank for a dis
tanee of 725 yards. or almost two-ffth of a mile,
and this is a great advantage, as up to that dis
lance no allowance has to be made for the fall
ing of the bullet. Taken all in all, the new rifle
is terribly destructive weapon.
