THE MAXIM GUN.
Curious Origin Of This Terrible Enoiws
Of Destruction.


Of Destruction.
The origin Of the Maxim gun was
somewhat curious. Mr. Maxim (Sir
Elram) after the close Of the crest
civil war In America was visiting one
Of the southern battlefields Hr picked
up Springfield rife and began firing
at target. He soon discovered. to his
amazement, that his shoulder was all
black and blue with the recoil. This
set him thinking. and he soon con-
ceived the idea of utilizing this force
In gun which would fire automatic
ally.
He went to London full Of his idea,
but no one would listen to him. In
Birmingham the chief man in n fac
tory refused to make a bolt gun.
In despair Mr.. Maxim packed up his
trunks and went to Paris. In two
weeks the work was done. This gun
Mr.. Maxim exhibited in London In
1855. He spoke of it then as the gun
Of the future. 1t Is now the gun Of the
present. 1t Is q wonderful gun AMI
deadly one. BY adjusting the indica-
tor it will fire bullets at any rate from
one per minute to 600.
This terrible weapon Is started by
the firing Of the first shot. After that
1t works itself and will keep going "a
long as cartridges can be fed into the
) machine. When one belt of 1893 Is ex-
hausted. oil that is necessary is to
hook on another.
When the British government gave
an order for the gun they stipulated
that it should not weigh more than a
hundred pounds and should be capable
OF firing a thousand rounds In four
minutes. Mr.. Maxim produced a gun
which weighed thirty-fve pounds and
fired 1900 rounds In three minutes

Florence Murder Suspect Out Of Reach
of Mob Violence.
Denver.-A Republican special from
Canon City Friday night says:
Antoine Bovori was taken to Pueblo
and turned over to Sheriff Mcmillan
for safe-keeping. Bovori was arraigned
before Justice Kennedy this afternoon,
his attorney waived examination and
he was held to the April term of the
District Court without bail.
There has been some talk of lynch
ing Bovori on the part of the Italians
in the coal camps and it was thought
best to take him to Pueblo to avoid vio-
lence. While the jail here is believed
to be perfectly secure against any or
binary assault, number of special
deputies were sworn in yesterday and
guarded the building last night.
One of the principal reasons for TAX
ing Bovori to Pueblo was to prevent
his killing prisoners in jail here. half
n dozen occupying adjoining cells and
with whom he might come in contact
in the corridors He is considered the
most desperate criminal ever in jail
here and had threatened to kill the
other prisoners II opportunity offered.
To avoid this possibility and to avoid
subjecting the county to heavy dam
ages In such event, 1t was thought best
to send him to Pueblo. where he can
be kept from contact with other pris-
oners.
Heavily manacled and carefully
guarded. he was spirited from the jail
SO quietly few. even of the county Of
ficials. knew of his departure. He was
driven to the train in closed carriage
and hustled aboard before half dozen
people in town were aware of the fact.
There was some fear that the pris-
oner might be taken from the train
by mob at Florence and hanged and
he was secreted by the officers until
the train was well beyond the limits
of that place. He was In charge of
Sheriff Esser and Under Sheriff Chete-
lat.
Bovori has not been appraised of the
finding of Joseph Minichiello's body
and will not be until that fact Is COM
municated to him by his attorney,
George w. Wilkes of Florence. When
taken in custody he had $345. To this
amount can be added $S5 obtained
from the sale OF his property.
Crowds of angry Italians collected in
the various coal camps last night to
discuss the finding of Joseph Minich-
iello's body and denounce Bovori. Ev-
erywhere there was strong condemna-
ton and about the only thing lacking
for an attempt at lynching was leader
ship. However. no unlawful steps have
been taken and the disposition now
seems to be to let the law take its
course.

women. the police of Homestead have

anti-swearing crusade. Since the mills
closed two weeks ago men congregated
on the streets and gave vent to their
opinions in uncouth language. The
evil became SO bad that women were
shocked. Now that the mills have re-

profanity is gone. The old blue laws
inflicting a fine OF 671a cents for each
oath will be enforced. Judge ]. Clyde
