FREAK ANTICS OF BULLETS
Most Great Generals Seem to Lead
Charmed Lives on Firing
AZ Line.

There is a story told Of an old veteran
of the First Napoleon who lived unth
1865 in the French village OF Savary. and
who had a wooden leg, q wooden arm,
glass eye, a silver palate, a complete set
OF false teeth and a silver plate on the
top of his head. and yet died peaceably
in his bed. Compared with such men the
proverbial nine-lived cat is nowhere. But
as one reads the stories OF great wars
OF the past the manner in which famous
generals have played touch-and-go with
death Is little short OF miraculous.
The wonderful escapes of Napoleon and
wellington we're proverbial. Though bull
lets grazed them and riddled their clothes,
and both had horses shot under them,
yet both passed through life of battle
and danger with two or three slight
wounds apiece. But their grim old com
panion in arms, General Butcher. did not
fare so we'll. Wounded several times
while serving under Frederick the Great,
he retired from the army when that
irascible monarch swore at him.
In response. however. TO the patriotic
call, he took up arms against Napoleon
.and was seriously wounded at Lutzen.
At Lgny, too. he was thrown down and
ridden over by the French and PTussian
cavalry; but, by drinking quantities Of
his favorite gin and water. the old war
dog was able TO lead his troops on the
following day. and to materially assist in
the winning OF the battle of Waterloo.
Few cases are more remarkable. how
ever. than that OF General Skenzynechl,
who got thirty bullets through his cloak
during the battle OF ostrolenka. in the
Polish instruction OF 1891; OF Sir De Lacy
Evans. whose ear was perforated by q
bullea during the Carlist war Of 1881
Garibaldi. too. had many narrow shaves
but none closer than when resting one
day at Volturno. While drinking from 3
pail of water a splinter from africoehet
shell grazed his thigh and killed sons
people near.
The number OF men who have escaped
death through having a Bible. coin. love
letters or some other articles in their
pockets Is legion. Duringt the South
African war one man owed his life TO the
fact that a chocolate box, which he car
ried In the breast OF his tunic. stopped a
well-aimed bullet. In another case a man
found a bullet imbedded In a small booh
he carried In HE pocket. and third owed
his escape 10 certain silver coins which

DIVIDING REWARD
AFTER MAN HUNT
Northwestern Detective Ely and
Norfolk Policeman HogsdOn
Likely to Get Half.
FARMER BOYS NOT FORGOTTEN

Half a dozen persons will in all
probability share in the reward of
$500 offered for the capture of Tom
Rings murderers.
B, L. Ely. Northwestern railroad
detective, and Oscar Hogsdon, Nor
folk policeman will probably get
$500 for taking Jaun Paral, alias
Contoni, and the other $500 will
probably be divided among Sheriff
w. c. Condit and Policeman Clarke
of Fremont, and the three boys who
saw Gonzales in the haystack near
Pebble Creek. 1t was Clarke, Condit
and Ely that found Gonzales again
Friday morning, and put the posse
on his trail, but It was due to the
three lads that the desperate was
finally rounded up.
II is unlikely that any reward will be
given TO those who helped catch Tomas
Sanchez at Kansas City. Sanches has
convinced the authorities that he was In
no way connected with Rings murder
and he win probably be prosecuted only
on a charge of having stolen property In
his possession.
Payment TO he Delayed.
Chief Dunn says It is unlikely that the
reward will be paid for some time. per-
haps not until after Parai and sanches
have been tried. II there Is any objec-
ton to the manner of dividing the money
he will place the 500 in the hands of the
court and let the claimants fight for It,
"You will notice that I say that this
is the probable manner Of dividing the
money" said Chief Dunn. 1T seems at
this time that these men are entitled to
the money but perhaps some one else
might turn up that was equally helpful.
/, Personally, would like TO see everybody
who in any way helped run the murderers
down get Some of the money. 1 suppose,
