TO a failure on the first attempt, the fir-

These shells had come from the target
range at Fort Niobrara. This argument
is destroyed by two facts now given.
1000 Shells.
First. The box mentioned contained
over a thousand shells discharged from
nearly fifty rifles. thrown in indiscrlmi-
nateIy and roughly shaken in the trans
portation and umerous landings from
the range at Niobrsra to the barracks
at Fort Brown, thus being thoroughly
mixed. There would be mathematically
only one chance in hundreds Of millions
that out OF this box thirty shells select
ed al random would exhibit the absolute
firing marks of only three rifles out Of
nearly fifty, therefore a practical i'm
possibility.
Second There were six Of the shells
showing marks OF having been inserted
I'm A rifle twice. No such proportion or
misfires-One in five, - per cent, was
reported from Fort Niobrara-was In
evidence on the remainder OF the shells,
or was claimed by the soldiers TO whom
the guns identified with the shells were
issued
But the conclusive evidence as 70 the
double markings on these shells and
three others referred 10 In the expert
testimony Of Lieut. w J. Hawkins IS

The Ammunition.
Bovd Conyers furnishes the informa-
ton that before the battalion left Fort
Nfobrara rumors were circulated that
they would not be welcome at Browns
Vile. that there would be trouble with
the citizens: and the rough element OF
the battalion determined 10 prepare for
trouble. on the way down boys at the
stations would importune the soldiers
for cartridges. Some were given, but
more were held out, and on inspection
al brownsville the shortage was ac-
credited to their having been given
away.

vers. "scoIded the men and threatened
punishment. but he ordered more cart
ridges issued. Some had been held out
at target practice. So there were plenty
OF cartridges John HOllOman took care

Original Estimate.

Lieutenant LawTasOn gave an original
estimate that from one-fourth TO one
third Of Company 3 came down 10 roll
call at the time OF the raid without
their ammunition. Before the Senate
committee he raised his estimate to one
half. This latter estimate comedies
closely with the number whom Boyd
Cc..yers states as having come out on
the upper gallery Of , barracks and
blazed away after the sigual shots. It
is not claimed OF charged that the men
shot away all their cartridges, but the
resulting confusion vas evidently a
part Of the premeditated plan to secure
as much delay as possible in calling
the roll TO let the raiders have time to
get back IN line From eight TO ten
minutes elapsed before the roll call was
fairly started, and the raiders were all
back
The entire distance traversed by the
raiders from the fort TO the Tillman
saloon, the farthest point, and return
can be and was covered In less time
than six minutes from the firing OF the
first shot A fast walk out and a run
back win do II IN less than three min
utes by actual test. The distance is
less than one-sixth mile each way. Al
low a speed Of a mile in twelve minutes
out and Of a mile in six minutes back
and il can be yered IN three minutes.
Allow a minute for delays in firing and
1t is all done In lOUr minutes. The raid
was carefully planned and well timed
