MUTE GUN TESTS A SUCCESS.
Hiram Percy Maxim's Gun Silencer is '
Again Satisfactory to Officers.
* /
Hartford, Conn., Sept. 9.?Hiram
Percy Maxim returned to-day from (]
Springfield where yesterday final !
tests were made of his gun silencing
jjjy device. He expressed himself more ]
\ than gratified at the results of the 1
fiL"' experiments, which showed that a fir- J
ing party in ambush coul? not be detected
at 250 yards. '
The., tests have been conducted be- *
fore a board appointed by the comHanding
officer of the Springfield ar- (
mory. Those of yesterday were made
^ to show what degree of concealment
y. could be obtained by a party using '
^ . the Maxim devices. The army officers
stationed themselves near the butts
; at the water shop range and the rifle>...
man was taken to different points of
U ,. the compass, from each of which he
fired five shots, at distances from 250 1
to 700 yards. The bullets were fired
r;. into a sandbank near the listening '
party and they found it impossible to <
r::, tell from which direction the shots
Ip. were fired. When the man fired from
v the north they were not agreed, but 1
most of them thouerht the shot came
i from the south. In no case were they !
all agreed, and in no case were they 1
lip right.
;;r| At three short ranges the ping of
: the bullet disguised the snap of the 1
gun. The fact was not disclosed be#
fore, as in the previous tests the gun 1
Pwas discharged into a bank not 10
yards from the rifleman. Under
those circumstances the snap of the
gun could be heard at 1,500 yards.In
an engagement the soldier is sup
posed to shoot at the enemy, and the
tests yesterday showed not only that .
a firing party could not be detected
; *, at a distance of a golf drive, but that ;
the sing of the bullet through the 1
air made the snap of the gun's discharge
inaudible.
Mr. Maxim in an interview said: !
"The principle I make use of is J
applicable to heavy ordinance and I .
am arranging to equip a modern
three-inch field gun with a silencer.
I believe I am right when I say that (
making the location of a position of '
,V l such a gun impossible will altogether (
change conditions in warfare."
Woman Shot by Accident.
Kl ' r
Anderson, Sept. 11.?At the coro- i
ner's inquest over the body of Mayme \
mi j Ix J 1_ J J. 1 x
.Eiiruu u uevtiuyeu una.t me wuuidu
came to her death by the accidental
discharge of a pistol in the hands of
17-year-old Calhoun Donald. While
. the jury did not return such a verdict,
all of the evidence tends to show
accidental shooting, but the jurors
thought it best to- detain Donald for
trial at the circuit court. The Elrod
" woman was about 40 years of age,
and has been living with the Donald
family for some years. The shooting
occurred in a corn field of Mr. Donald's
three miles across the Oconee
county line. The woman was brought
to the hospital here, and died the
night of the shooting. Donald claims
that he was playing with a pistol
while at work in the field with the
Elrod woman, and that he did not,
know it was loaded. He snapped the
hammer and the gun was discharged,
tt^ bullet taking effect in the woman's
abdomen. Despite the fact
that the shooting occurred in Oconee
county, the trial will be held in Anderson
county, the death having occurred
here, and the coroner's inquest
haying been held in Anderson
county. >

- Sharp Dealing.
For once the American had discovered
something British that was
better than anything that could be
produced "across the pond." His
discovery was a fine collie dog. and
he at once tried to induce its owner,
an old shepherd, to sell it.
"Wad ye be takin' him to America?"
inquired the old Scot.
"Yes, I guess so," said the Yankee.
"I thought as muckle," said the
shepherd. "I couldna part wi' Jock."
But while they sat and chatted an
English tourist came up. and to him
the shepherd sold the collie for much
less than the American had offered.
"You told me you wouldn't sell
him,"said the Yankee, when the purchaser
had departed.
"Na," replied the Scot; "I said I
couldna' pairt wi' him. Jock'll be
back in a day or so, but he couldn't
swim the Atlantic."?Detroit Free
