was shot by young man giving
the name of Gronfelt.
Mr.. Heelan was just returning
from the depot and was on the
road to the school when a voice
from the side of the road ordered
him to throw up his hands.
Thinking it was joke of some
one Heelan kept on walking
farther up the road when he was
shot at close range by the
robber. The shot grazed his
breast and cut his arm off at the
muscle. The victims repeated
cries for assistance brought
mum Der of persons to his aid.
The flow of blood was stopped
and the unfortunate man was
brought to Ashland on special
train. The arm was amputated
but the man died at three O'Clock
Monday afternoon.
The robber and murderer was
captured by Sheriff Madden and
is now lodged in the Sawyer
county Jail. He is a young man
twenty years of age who has
been living the life of a hermit
during the past three years.
Since being placed in Jail he has
been acting rather strangely
and it is thought by the officers
that his mind is unbalanced.

stafordshire would have been Arnold
Bennett. the acknowledged literary
prophet of this region Apropos, friend
who spent the last week-e with Ben
nett at his new house at Thorpe-le-

jectile's mass, they were heightened al
the same time Thus, instead of a sphere,
the bullet took the form of a cylinder ex-
cept the anterior portion, which gradually
was made more pointed.
Until quite recent years the point was
blunt or rounded, and the ball in it's en-
tirety was cylindro-ogval, the object
being to insure the stability of its axis
IN the rotary movement given to it by the
grooves of the rife barrel. In other pro-
1ectiles the cone was truncated. BY these
means the effect of the air resistance was
notieeably increased while the advan-
tage was an illusory one Consequently,
more recently there has been no hesita-
tion in making the bullet pointed in front.
This is the case with the French bullet,
termed the 1907 d bullet. and the 1907
German projectile. called the S bullet.
The German bullet is formed of lead
hardened with antimony, and is covered
with a steel jacket. The French projec

On one hand, ricochets bend the point
and make it a veritable fishhooll as it en-

striking straight and making a round
hole, it often strikes sideways. and then

gravity of bullet wounds. 1t is known
that the terrible effects of such wounds
noted by the American surgeons in the
fighting on the rocks of San Juan de
Cuba were the result of the numerous
ricochets of the bullets, and the case was
the same at Spion Kop. in the Transvaal
war. II, as Mr.. Demostehn, the Rouma-
nian surgeon, asserts. one bullet ricochets
out of three fired. 1t Is easy to conceive
how this risk renders the prognosis
worse. Another serious condition to be
noted is the fact that the proiectlle may
carry into the wound fragments of dirty
clothing laden with microbes, which will
infect the wound.
Certain surgeons have thought that the
balls, heated by friction with the grooves
of the rifle barrel, are cleansed and asep-
tized when they strike. This is not quite
exact. since 1t seems certain that the
temperature of the projectile does not ex-
ceed 80 degrees ceptigrade and that 110
degrees centigrade would be required to
destroy all the microbes
