GUNS COURT MARTIALED,
They Are Sometimes Sentenced t
Death by Spanish Officers.

At first sight the above title seems al
most incredible. yet 1T is a fact that there
are at the present time guns belonging
to the Spanish army under going sem
tcnces of death and imprisonment.
An astonishing case of this kind was
brought to notice by n friend of a Span
ism officer while paying q visit to him
when he was stationed at the Spanish ar
tillery barracks, San Francisco So, Porto
Rico, few years ago. Waiting at the
entrance of the barracks for his officer
friend he happened to see a rife hang
ing by the gunsling to a nail in the wall
The gentleman. thinking it very curious
why such 4 good piece of ordnance
should be thus neglected and allowed t.
get rusty, asked the sentry on guard the
reason. and was informed that this rifle

While practicing with this gun at the
shooting range it suddenly went off and
knocked over the soldier who was
handling 1t. On being examined it was
found that the trigger had not been
pulled. and the three years sentence was
TIE result of an inquiry into the affair.
Another case of gun belonging to the
Spanish army being diSgraced happened

camp, and every man was ordered to
stand to arms. The general commanding
was perpleXed to know the reason of this
sudden firing. and issued an order for
every mans rifle to be examined with a
view to finding the culprit of the scare.
After thorough examination the of
Tending rifle was discovered, and the own
er was taken off under escort to await
court martial. Happily the soldier was
proved to have been lying in his tent It
the time of the rifle going off. and he was
therefore acquitted; but the guilty NOUS
er was sentenced by the court martial "to
