Shell Missed Mountain,
New Theory Of Tragedy
OF Artillery Practice

Colonel Charles r. Moves was prepar-
ing Wednesday to forward to the de-
partment of the southeast at Charles
ton, S. c., a complete report of the
explosion of the shell at Kennesaw
mountain near Marietta last week which
resulted in the death of Mrs. Lillian
Harris, of Cobb county, and three ne
groes.
The officers appointed by Colonel
Noyes to investigate the cause of the
unusual accident have reported their
findings to Colonel Noyes.
A new and entirely different theory
from all others concerning the explo-
sion has been advanced. The substance
of this theory is that the shell which
ended the lives of four was not a
richochetting shot, but passed clearly
over the top o fthe mountain and eX-
ploded when IT struck the oak tree on
the north side The recoil from the
firing of the gun, it is suggested

and elevated the barrel of the three
inch gun from which the she'll was
