and cartridges, la pounds. 1t is readi-

NEW TORPEDO BOAT.
Said to Be the Most Successful of
Submarine Boats Yet Construct

Submarine Boats YET COnStTuCt-
ed.
PARIS, Nov. 16.-The greatest inter
est is displayed in naval circles In the
Forthcoming official trial of the marine
torpedo boat Narval, recently launched
at Cherbourg. It is claimed for the
new craft that the preliminary tests
have proved her to be the most sue
cessful of submarine boats yet con-
structed.
The length of the Nsrval is ITO feet
and the displacement LOG tons. The
hull is composed of two skins separat-
ed from each other by watertight bulk
heads. The filling of these enables
the craft to be sunk as required.
When operating on the surface the
boat is driven by ordinary steam en-
gines.
AS. soon as she dives the motive
power is supplied by dynamos, the
being derived from accu-
mulators previously charged by the
steam engines. On the surface the
Narval has a speed of from eight to
twelve knots an hour, while under va
ter her maximum speed is expected to
be eight knots.

GALLUP, N. M, Nov. 15.-The cor
oner's jury this morning rendered q
verdict of. justifable homicide in the
case of L. E. Densmore, charged with
killing John Maxwell in duel with
fire arms yesterday evening, upon
testimony of Jose Bacs, the only wit
ness.
Baca testified that the men left Gal
lup about IL O'Clock yesterday morn

buildings for which Densmore had
taken the contract, and had employed
Maxwell to assist him.
Baca accompanied them, also Antonio
Esquibel, both of whom
we're in the employ of
Densmore, Bsca driving the team.
Maxwell and Densmore became engag-
ed in dispute pertaining to the coun-
try, and threatened to fight two or
three times on the way, but were pre-
vented by Baca, who took their guns
away from them to prevent
bloodshed. When about Is
miles from Gallup they got
their guns again and before Baca could
prevent them began shooting at each
other, Maxwell firing the first shot
with a six-shooter, Densmore return
ing the fire with Winchester, strik-
ing his antagonist eight times out OF
nine shots fired. Maxwell fired six
times with his revolver, only one of
which took effect, in Densmore's thigh.
Baca said he was unable to prevent
the shooting and retired few steps
till it was over, and after the shooting
he went to Densmore and spoke to him
and was requested by the wounded
man to notify his wife as soon as pos
sible. He then went TO Maxwell and
spoke to him several times,
but receiving no reply left him for
dead. He then returned to Densmore |
and covering him with a blanket as a |
protection against the wind, started |
for town, arriving about
$50 p. m.
DR.. Harper started at once for the |
scene of the sffray accompanied by
Mrs. .Densmore, the wife of the wounded |
man; Arthur Maxwell, nephew of the
deceased, apd one or two others
driven by swift team of Harry Cod

he dead and wounded man into town.

rushed, crashing, barking, the sounds
coming TO us like low music on the

before the long howl of the leading
dog told us that he had trced.

through the swamps, and down into
the canebreak. There VIC come upon
the dogs all clustered about cypress

started back as if they didn't Snow
