THE DUM-DUM BULLET.
Experiments That Prove the Stop

Experiments That Prove the Stop
ping Power of the New Rifles.
A Washington special to the New
York Sun says: Dum-dum is the name
of a new bullet tried by the British
government recently. The experiments
were made to demonstrate the amount
of ''set-up" and Stopping" power in
the bullet, and were conducted on The
carcasses of freshly killed sheep, tied
UP in various positions, some with the
fleece on and others with the outer
fleece and skin removed. Except in
one instance the range was 200 yards
and the sheep were fired at brOadside
or diagonally, and facing the shooter
The most remarkable results of the
experiments was the large size of the
wound OF exit as compared with the
smallneSs of the wound of entrance.
One bullet fired at an unskinned sheep
broadside on, passed between two ribs,
making an entrance wound no larger
than a big pea; but after shattering
one of the vertebrate, it smashed two
RIBS and produced an exit wound as
large as a half-dOllar piece. Experts
say that such wounds, if inflicted upon
a human being must necessarily be
fatal, as we'll as putting an effectua1
stop to his advance. The efficacy of
the Dum-dum bullet is declared to be
proven oS HleulCdl men THAT the Set-up
is sufficient to cause a severe wound,
and the effect of the bullet quite
enough to stop the progress of the man
OF horse struck. The experiments are
said by the experts here to prove be-
yond reasonable doubt the superiority
of the new bullet over the old, and to
settle the controversy raised as to the
stopping effect of a bullet of such
small caliber as that of the new small
arm now ~ general use.
The tess are regarded as settling
finally the issue made between the old
type large bullet and the new small
arm bullet, it having been alleged that
the terrific penetrating power of the
modern arm did not make up for the
disabling effect of the old bullet of
etov-aY- velocity

SENATOR FAIRS WILLS.
Another Chapter in the Famous Con-
test-Trust Will.

Sam Francisco, Nov. 1O.-Within a
few days one or more contests are to
be filed in the superior court against
the trust will of tie late James G..
Fair This will is dated Sept. q, 1894,
and the original was stolen from the
county clerks Office and never recov-
cred. There is certain to be a suit
brought by the three children, Mrs.
Hermann Oelrichs, Miss Virginia Fair
and Charles L. Fair. Mrs. Nettie
Craven will probably file a second and
third may be filed in the name of an
alleged grandchild of the millionaire.
Contests will be commenced on the
ground that ex-senator Fair was in
competent or insane at the time he
made the trust will and that he was
acting under undue influence. Mrs.
Craven's suit will probably be brought
as the widow of the late senator.
Judge Slacks decision has left her in
such a condition that she must file
the trust will if she expects to get
anything at all. The contests will be
upon the same general grounds as
that of the three children.

TRAGEDY AT CARSON
Charles Jones, us. Attorney for
Nevada, Murdered.
BOY FIRED FATAL SHOT
APPREHENDED DANGER TO HIS
FATHER FROM JONES.
Youth Surrenders to Sheriff and
Cleared Up the Mystery-Mur-
dered Man One of the Most Prom
inent Attorneys In the West
Fatal Duel In California.

Carson, New, Nov. 9-The entire
state has been startled and shocked
at the murder, late this afternoon, of
Charles A. Jones, United States dis
trict attorney, by Julian Guinan, the
16-year-o son of a well known local
physician.
The prominence of all connected with
the affair. the peculiar attendant cir
cumstances and the suddenness of the
tragedy make it one of the most SEN
sational happenings in the history of
Nevada.
Jones death was caused by a bullet
wound in the head and for a time
mystery surrounded every circumstance
connected With the killing.
At first it was supposed that Jones
had committed suicide, but no weapon
being found ON his person nor near the
scene of the shooting, it became evil
dent that his death had been caused
by another, and an hour later young
Guinan surrendered himself at the
sheriff'S office and confessed to the kill
ing.
The statement of the youth, who is
now in jail is to the effect that imme-
diately prior to the shooting he had
, observed MS sister talking to Jones,
with whom his father had forbidden
association, when he saw DR.. Guinan
approaching. Believing trouble to be
inevitable when the two men should
meet, the boy procured a Winchester
rife and stationed himself at a window
for the purpose, as he says, of protect
ing his father.
Upon encountering Jones, DR.. Gui-
nan said to him: This is the last time
1 shall ever warn you against keeping
company with my daughter"
Jones jeered at the DOCTOR in COM
ment upon this warning, and slipped
his hand into his right hand pocket.
Julian states that, having often heard
his father threaten to kill Jones' and
having been informed that the district
attorney always carried a revolver,
which, he believed, from Jones mo-
ton, was about to be drawn, the boy
fired at Jones in anticipation of an at
tack upon his father.
Jones fell forward dead, the bullet
from the rifle having entered above his
right eye and passed out at the neck
behind. Miss Guinan, seeing Jones
fall, threw herself upon him and en-
braced the dead body.
When the coroner took charge of the
remains, Jones hand was still in his
pocket, but no weapon was found.
Jones was about SO years old, was
married, and left a widow and a child
at his home in Reno, whence he came
this morning on official business. He
was necessarily in Carson much of the
time and while here his attentions to
