Pound Master Jacob Melllck IL sur
ferer and finds little of comfort In this
vale of tears. His hair Is grey and deep
wrinkles furrowing his sunburnt SKIN,
add to the general swarthyness OF his
seeming. Some time ago Mellick con-
sented to act as public pound keeper on
this side. He built a twenty-foot en-
closure on his lot on South Main ave-
nue.. and received a warrant from
Mayor Connell as special policeman.
Then the improvised pen became the
Jail of cows which Mellick had captured
on the streets. The cows beloved in
the day and far into the night, making
sleep impossible for the peaceful in
habitants of the locality. Hot times
ensued. The neighbors We're indignant
and thus expressed themselves. Petty
encounters followed, the mayor was
solicited, but Mellick plodded on un-
scathed.
The small boys also made trouble for
him. Every COW he captured was re-
leased or taken from him. Each time
Mellck was seen on the street with
a captive bovine the animal was chased
away by the urchins, despite the pound
masters attempt to retain 1t. Mellick
can't run, being too old. and the boys
always conquered. This happened
many times and last evening as Mellick
was driving home O. COW. the boys to the
number of twenty attacked him and
chased the animal to parts unknown.
Mellicli was mad. He followed the lads
for awhile, but gave up.
Then he spied two innocent little fell
lows walking peacefully down the side
walk. one of these he nabbed, exclaim-
ing. II want your He escorted the
little fellow to the West Side station
house, followed by a gang of boys, hoot-
ing and guying. But Mellick plodded
on. When he reached the station house
with his 1.1-year-old prisoner the sweat
stood in drops on his temples. He
called for Alderman John. The latter
came and q hearing was held. Mellicls
wanted to make an example of his
captive. but Judgment said nay. He
couldn't prove anything against the
lad, and by the efforts of Constable
Burchell and others the boy, whose
name was Rolly Whiting, was released.

Guilty of characterization and AS
suult on IL Sergeant.
Sioux Falls, S. D., April %. - If
certain member Of Company F. S. D.
n: g., located at Aberdeen, is not pun
lshed severely it will most likely be
because the state has not enough
money on hand to call a court martial
and there is no appropriation availa-
bic. A sergeant and SQUAD was sent
out to bring an absentee to the
armory, and they did it. Not, how
ever, without considerable trouble,
for the angry member not only re-
fused to go, but abused his sergeant
and assaulted him. At the armory
the captive continued his wordy abuse
OF his superior officers, an offense
which is punishable by fine and i'm
prlsonment in the county Jail, or even
in the penitentiary. But as was men
toned, the offender will likely get
or with a dishonolable discharge, as
no regular court martial can be con.
vened.

FIVE SHOTS A SECOND,
New Magazine Breech-Loading Riff,
Tested at Des Moines.

New Magazine Breech-Loading Rife
Tested at Des Moines.
Des Moines, April Bottle working
= model OF q magazine breech-loa ding
rifle was operated here to-day. The
inventor is DR.. S. N. MCLEAN of
Washington, Iowa, and the model was
made in this city. The invention has
very novel structural plan. All it's
operating parts are made to move in
and through a series Of guides or
tracks so that the movement of each
part is positive and is susceptible Of
the highest possible speed 1t has
reciprocating handle, breech piece,
a cartridge magazine formed to re-
ceive it's entire load of cartridges at
one Insertion, and these parts are
so connected with the actuating
handle that single back and forth
movement accoDplishes the loading
and firing of the weapon.
Such is the wonderful firing speed
of this rifle that the magazine can
be emptied Of it's six cartridges be-
fore before the first cartridge has
time to reach the ground, so that all
the shells are in the air at the same
time. Its speed is from six to ten
times greater than that of any other
rifle. The Kraig- Yorgensen, the new
United States military rifle, the Lee
speed of England, the Mouser rifle
Of France and the Needle gun of Ger
many, which are considered the lead
ing military rifles Of the world, have
firing speed Of about one shot in two
seconds, while this rifle has an easy
speed Of five shots per second.
