Saturday be took two TevoIVers-the

Carmack is said to have used and ex-
perimented as to the lOudness of the
report they made when discharged.
AT fifty feet, the difference in the

further got away from the revolyers,
the easier it was TO distinguish be-
tween the reports up to 12S feet,
which was as far as I stood"
Cross examined, he said he did not
know whether SmOkeless powder
would sound louder than black pow
der. He also said he was not an eX-
