A HUMAN TARGET.
New Rifle Tried ON an Escaping
Prisoner.

4 Chicago dispatch Of Wednesday says:
To minimize the horrors OF war and pre-
vent loss Of life as far as possible by the
use Of weapons which shall disable rather
than kill has been the study Of civilized
nations for decades past. To this end the
new Danish rifle, the krag-Jorgensen,
was adopted by the United states Gov
eminent and placed in the hands Of its
soldiers. Yesterday afternoon the first
actual use of the rifle was seen in the
killing Of Thomas COffey, an eS lping
prisoner at Fort Sheridan. and great
interest is felt all over the county in
the report which Major Gerard and stan
at Fort Sheridan will make as TO the
course of the bullet which ended Cof-
fey's life.
The shot which Sentinel Kress fired
was at close range, scarcely twenty
yards. The bullet entered the skull from
behind with such effect as 10 scatter the
bone in fragments from the whole upper
portion. Al longer range, IL Is claimed
by those who have made the new rifle
a study. the bullet would have passed
through the skull. making as clean a
hole behind and in front as through two
panes of glass. The nckel-plated ball
sped on after performing It's deadly
work, bored clear through 9 Inches OF
live oak. and buried itself in the earth
thirty yards beyond. Major Gerard will
not give out the substance Of his report,
and the stand which he will take will
not be known until II has passed
through higher hands at army headquar-
tiers.
Colonel NJ ]. Ludington, assistant quar-
termaster Of the United States army.
said to-day: "'The Krag-Jorgensen bullet,
or slug is very ciean-cut in its effects.
From all reports ! judge IL is the most
humane In its effects. though only the
future can determine"
THE Krag-Jorgensen is not diabolical,'
said Colonel \. HaTtsuff, medical direc-
tor of the Department Of the Missouri, to-
day. con the contrary. the reports OF
such eminent men as DR.. Henry stiles
and DR.. Legarde. who delivered a lecture
before the Engineering Congress in 1893,
tend to show that the effect is humane
in it's character.
The remains OF Private Coffey were In

will make a thorough investigation OF
the shooting and the finding OF the court

only seven managers, and lost only three

him from going on the stage three years
