DEADLY LEBEL BULLET.
It's Enormous Penetrating Force m
Shown by Recent Use.

Shown by Recent Use.
From the London Standard.
The writer of an article in the echo de
Paris" referring to certain disadvantages
offered, as alleged by the British magazine
rifle bullet, argues that the bullet fired by
the Lebel rife renders all the services re-
quired and does not stand in need of i'm
provement Or of any such notifications as
those introduced in the Dum-dum bullet.
At 5000 meters the Lebel bullet traverses
the feshy portions of the human body and
skaters the ZONES of the limbs. The PEN
etrat ting force of the bullet is enormous.
During the Dahomey campaign LebeI bull
let was found to have passed through
tree and through the five natives who had
taken refuge behind it. The French off
GERS who have baen able to observe the ef-
fects of the bullet in Dahomey. Tonkin and
Madagascar declare that the men struck by
the Lebel bullet in full trajectory fall at
once after convulsive leap.
When the camp of Gen. DoddS, during
his march on Abomey, was the object of a
surprise attack the terrible effectiveness of
the Lebel bullet was proved in the most
signal fashion. The assajlants received the
bullets almost Immediately after they had
left the rifles, and entire files of the native
warriors were seen to have fallen, one on
top of the other, traversed by the same
projectiIe. If the bullets had not stopped
the natives forthwith Gen. Dodds forces
would have been wiped out Occasionally
no doubt. a man struck by a Lebel bullet is
not put horS du combat Immediately, but
this event is rare, and such cases notorious
ly occurred in the past when bullets of
larger caliber were in use.
The writer concludes by saying that the
French have no reason to feel alarmed at
the complaints made of the ineffectiyenesS
under certa.1 conditions of the British mag
azine rifle bullet of small caliber. IF the
satisfactory results the blame does not lie
with the small caliber bullet"

From insignificant Happenings.
From Tft-Bits.
In Lancashire coal mine, a few years
ago, a callous youth viciously pricked a
pony with his penknife. The wounded ami
NAL kicked out furiously, overturning and
breaking several safety lamps. The naked
flames fed the foul gases in the air, and
created an appalling explosion, which
wrought the death of over a hundred
miners.
Sun rays, shining through a decanter of
water on to the cartridge of a loaded rife,
slew sleeping man on lounge near by.
The innocent owner of the rife was ar
raigned for the supposed crime, and was
sentenced to death, when the testimony of
a shrewd detective solved the mystery and
secured his reprieve.

stant death. The heartbroken count, sus-
pecting a jealous noble of the supposed
murder, shot him dead on the street next
day. The following night the brother of
the murdered man fatally stabbed the
count. After this triple tragedy the true
cause of the trouble was revealed.
A young bachelor in London, sanguine OF
participating in the wealth of certain
country uncle, invited his rich relative TO
spend a week with him in town. During
dinner one evening the nephew-quite un-
aware of the perilous character OF the COM
bination-passed Charteuse wine and ba-
nanas to his uncle, who partook freely OF
both, thus producing pecuhariy potent
poison, which caused his death. The
nephews deep concern turned to dismay
when he learned later that the absence OF
any will shattered his hopes of fortune. and
his chagrin prompted him to prematurely
end his existence.

IT Is THE CHANGE
OF A LIFETIME
The University of Chicago Wants to
Play a Game on the Butte
Gridiron.

The football men of the city are all
excitement over the possibility that a
game with the great team of the Uni
versity of Chicago may be secured. Ne
gotiations We're opened by Chicago
yesterday through the Northern Pa
cific. inquiring what guarantee Butte
would give for a game, and it only de-
pends on the public spirit of the Butte
people whether or not Butte is to have
the opportunity of a life time to make
great reputation on the gridiron.
City Ticket Agent Mccormick of the
Northern Pacific referred the inquiry
to Captain Percy Benson of the Mon
tana Athletic club team. and he, with
other leaders in football matters, has
the work of trying to raise a guarantee
in hand. If Butte could meet and de-
feat the Chicago University team,
which has made the greatest record
of any team this season, it would do
more to advertise Butte than anything
that has ever happened in the history
or the city In view of the fact that
there is now here better football tim
Der than ever, and there can he
scarcely doubt that team can be
selected from among the three big
