failure of the Pinch guns in the majestic
class of battleshlps, and through the
bursting of shells in seven out OF six
teen big British-made guns on board Jap
anese battleships. The writer points out
further that Great Britain is the only
power that has adopted the manufacture
of the wire guns.

group Of friends at the Hotel Mckay
In Duluth, Mimi. says a dispatch from
that city. mo? Well. was out there
at the time Of the incident and can
vouch for the truth Of the story.
''One day couple Of cowboys rode
up to the banks Of the river from the
side on which the Roosevelt ranch Is
situated They removed the saddles
and blankets from their horses aud
dumped the STUFF into q boat moOred
on the shore, turning their animals
loose. The men were observed. ana rs

was notified. The men In the boat iu
stead Of rowing across the river, as ii
was at FIRST supposed they would. cool
" began rowing downstream TO some
destination unknown. II was plain
that they were stealing the boat.
Mr. Roosevelt mounted horse as
soon as he heard OF the theft Of bis
boat ana started in pursuit down tie
bank Of the river The Little Missouri
is rather crooked, but Mr.. Roosevelt
came up with them at last and ordered
them to bring the boat to the shore
The men III the boat gave him the
laugh. but Mr.. Roosevelt, presenting q
revolver OF the very effective type IL
vogue in that country at that time
again ordered them to bring the boat
to the shore Both Of the cowboys
were armed, but they complied with
the order.
mir. Roosevelt kept the men covered
while they approached the bank and
then ordered them. one at q time, to
discard their weapons. Mr.. Roosevelt
then turned his horse loose to find its
way back TO the ranch and. getting in
to the boat made the men row hin
back to the place where they had stol

and took them to Dickinson to stand
trial.
later II developed that the two men
were horse thieves, and they were tried
and convicted and did time for that

stealing the boat was pressed, but

more serious charge Horse thieves IN

STRANGE ACCIDENTS.

A Broken Neck ms the Result of the
 Turn of Foot.
 The man wEO fell out of bed and broke h.s neck will scarcely attract aore than passing notice" said a thoughtful man. flor there have been many cases equally remarkable. I re- call one case where a mans neck was broken by a very slight turn of hls foot. He attempted to catch himself that is, to preserve his balance-and the effort was of such violence that he broke Eis neck. Many men have bro ken their nccks by a sudden stumble and a fall on the sidewalk or by being Knocked down by some hurryIng pedes- triar. or by a street car or a vehicle of some sort.
 Tt is not at all uncommon for pO- liceman, with no intention of doing more than subdue an unruly member, to break an offenders neck by rapplng him over the head with his club. Some times the fall which follows and some times the blow breaks the neck of the offender. Sometimes a sudden, violent motion of the head, quick jerking motion, the kind we make when dodg- Ing. will break the neck.
 T recall q case where a man threw his neck out of joint without breaking it by throwing his head to one side In an effort to dodge a bullet fired at him at short range. The bullet passed through the rim of his hat. Even after that he carried hIs head tilted over the right shoulder and was never able to straighteu it." New Orleans Times Democrat
