THE NE|GHBOR IS NOW SAFE
David Flynn Bought a Pistol to
Exterminate Him.
A CLERKS QUEER ACTIONS
He Went Into a Sporting Store ana
Purchased q Revolver, But the
Salesman Dlscreetly F1led III
With Blank Clrtridges-Fiynn
Was Arrested Later.

A well-dressed man about fifty years or
age, with an unnatural glitter in his eyes,
walked into walford's sporting goods store
on pennsylvania avenue, between Four-and-
a.half and Sixth streets, this morning. He
apnroacbed one of the clerks and in a
whisper Informed him that he wanted to
purchase bulldog revolver.
And" said the stranger, bending over,
81 want it loaded with ball cartridges.
Tie mans actions and manner made the
clerk suspicious, and he loaded pistol with
blank cartridges and handed it to him.
"This will do,'' said the stranger, de-
hosting the weapon in his overcoat pocket,
first making sure that there was car
fridge N each OF the five chambers.
After the customer had left the store the
clerk, fearing that it was his intention 20
commit either murder or suicide, notified
Detective Hartigan, who began search
for the man, and found him standing at the
corner of Second and ID streets northwest,
waiting for an eastbound car.
The detective found the pistol in the
strangers pocket, and noticed that he
talked in strange manner. He was
escorted To police headquarters, where
he was recognized as David Flynn, clerk
in the surgeon generals office, assigned
TO the Army Medical Museum, who resides
with his wife at No. gil Tenth street
northeast.
When questioned at headquarters Mr..
Flynn said he had purchased the pistol to
shoot a man who lives in the house next to
his residence. In a rambling sort OF way
he said the neighbor had been flashing col
ored lights into his house through the win
dows.
Yes" he added, land through the
walls, too. His lights in red, green and
yellow are more powerful than the x-rays,
and win penetrate even brick walls or stone
fences"
IL was seen that the man was mentally
unbalanced, and Dr. Fowler, of the health
office, was sent for. He pronounced IL
case of delirium Iremens, due to the ex-
cessive use ofliquor, and, after giving Flynn
a hypodermic injection and some medicine,
he was sent TO No. station for safe
keeping.
Flynn was excessively nervous and
flighty, and consta ntly talked of the queer
deeds OF his neXt-door neighbor, TO end
whose existence he had purchased the bull
dog revolver.

War Over Salt on the Tracks.
John Kane, j. F. Robey. Arthur Thorpe,
Charles Jaeschke, George Klug and II. Jen-
kins, employees of the lexington and Sol
diers' Home Railroad Company, were before
Judge Kimball this niorn<Ag, charged with
destroying private property of the Metro
politan Railroad Company. The defendants
yesterday afternoon were engaged in
sprinkling salt along the latter company's
tracks.
The two railroad companies occupy the
same tracks IN the vicinity or the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad depot, and it was in CON
sequence of the sprinkling of salt by the
six defendants along the common trackage
that their arrest was made The action OF
salt on the electrical apparatus of the Met
ropOlitan roadbed is of a destructive ma
ture. IL was claimed that the salt water
dripping into the conduit burns the insu
lation of the plow-fuse Of the cars, there
by destroying the clutch or the plow and
stopping travel.
In court Lawyer John Rideout, counsel
for the lexington Company, submitted that
the case was one that should be adjudi-
Gated in civil court, owing to the fact
that the question was not raised as 10 the
sprinkling being done with malice afOre-
thought.
Prosecutor Pugh maintained that it
was not necessary 20 prove that malice en-
tered into the motive OF the sprinkling
of the salt, and that the act per sc was de-
structive TO private property, and malice
was, therefore. tn be presumed in the prem
iseS.
Mr.. Rideout moved the court TO quash
the informatious in the case.
His honor reviewed the evidence, and, de
Gliding that the controversy was one for
adjudication in the civil courts, dismissed
the case.

The New Magazine Rifle.

Gen. Ruger, in general orders from
Governors Island headquarters, has pub
lished the report of Col. Thomas Ward de-
partment inspector of small arms, with
his Endorsement. Col. Ward says that
the new magazine rifle, thirty caliber, has
not until this year been thoroughly tested
under service conditions. The years praC
tice clearly demonstrated that in firing
the new arms accuracy diminishes as the
range increases. As compared with the old
Springfield rifle, the modern weapon is
found to be more accurate at short ranges,
less so at mid ranges, and much less so at
long ranges.
