FIRST TO PERFECT REVOLVER
Colonel Colt Has a Place In History
for His Invention-American
Makers of Ordnance

Col. Samuel Colt has a worldwide
fame as the first man VINO perfected
practical revolver His first imror.
tant patent was taken out In 1885. but
he had TO face a skeptical public and
army and navy officers refused to
grant permission fer an official test OF
his weapon. However, the effective
ness Of the Colt revolver was shown in
the Seminole war, in 1887. A com
pany was formed to exploit the invcn-
ton, but soon failed, as TO market
was found. Gen. Zachary Taylor, who
witnessed the work OF the revolver
in the Seminole war. at the outbreak
OF the Mexican war persuaded the gov
ernment to order "a thousand for the
use or Texas rangers. Stories praising
the American revolver coon began to
come back from Mexico ard the for
ty-niners" made II well known. Colt
shortly afterward found a market in
England and orders were placed in
America for the Crimean campaigns.
The revolver OF chat period, however,
was a clumsy weapon compared to the
types in use today. Calling. Maxim,
Remington, Parrott acd Dahlgren are
names OF other Americans who won
'ame as rife and ordnance makers.
Not New-Laid.
Some workmen on an ostrich farm
in South Africa one day found a live
she'll left by some artillery men who
had been at target practice on the
plains a few days before. Not know
ing 1t was loaded, they whitewashed 1t
and placed 1t in an ostrich's nest,
thinking to play a joke upon the boss.
The next morning one of the hands,
an Irishman. came around to look for
eggs, and finding, as he thought, a
large one, he seized on 1t at once.
In his astonishment at finding 1t so
heavy he dropped 1t, with the result
tnat 1t exploded with direful effect. Pat
was hurled several yards away, but
strangely enough, beyond lying
stunned for few minutes. he was un.
hurt.
'Whew! boys!" he murmured
( when he recovered his speech, "bedad
that igg was the stalest iver knocked
across!"

Tough Looking Individual Lands
Behind the Bars; Taken

That horse buyer, Norm Bacon,
giving Mankato as his headquarters
was stung on horse deal at New
Ulm last Monday about noon, is a
story that comes from that city.
Mr.. Bacon purchased a horse from a
stranger for $100. The horse proved

might have been out all of that
money, if the alleged thief had not
been fortunately captured, while he
still had $9S.25 on his person.
The accused man was a tough

He had no shoes or socks, but wore
Overalls and a straw hat, such as one
buys for ten cents. He had about
two weeks growth Of whiskers on
his face. He appeared to be about
thirty-five years old.
About noon Monday he went into
livery stable at New Ulm, with the
horse in question. There he offered
the animal for sale for $100, but the
proprietor turned his proposition
down. The horse seemed too cheap
and he feared it might have been
stolen. But Mr.. Bacon, who happened
to be standing nearby, thought the
deal was all right, and he offered to

SEEKING THE RELEASE
OF JOHN WILLIAMS
Writ of Habeas Corpus Sought BY
Attorney Laursch On Behalf of
Prisoner in County Jail.

Attorney C. J. Laurisch yesterday
filed an application in the district
court for writ of habeas corpus,
for the purpose of releasing from the
county Jail, John Williams, the man
who was recently arrested on the
charge of threatening to do great
bodily harm, on the complaint of his
brother in-law, l. J. Proser. Judge
Plymat of the municipal court, after
the hearing, required Williams to
furnish bond in the sum of 5000 to
keep the peace, and in default of
such bond, to be confined to the
county Jail for a period not to exceed
six months. Attorney Laurisch raises
the point that the municipal court
permitted the defendants wife to
testify against him in proceeding
to which she was not party.

London, Eng, September Pin

three and four thousand prisoners,

have taken. The recent advances Of
the British and French, practically

British military critics express the
opinion that both of these important
strongholds will be in the hands of
the allies within a fortnight
Some Observation-Disclosures Fought.
In the advances upon and into
COmbles, many were groups of Ger
mans who were caught right between
the advancing lines of the British on
one side and the French on the other
and readily capitulated. But there
were other groups that put up
tremendous fight, especially those
that had been hiding in the under
ground carerns. Some of the very
fiercest fighting Of all took place
right in the city of Combles itself.
Some regiments of Germans are
known to have made their escape
from Combles, and to have retreated
in the direction of Sally.
Details of the capture of Thiepval
from the Germans by the British are
lacking. 1t is believed, however, that
