TRACING A BULLET
Some of the detectives weIc chatting
together at the headquarters the other
night and spinning yarns to pass away
an idle half hour or so, and the red
moustuchcd one had been holding forth
on the peculiar ways in which the
source of bullet shots coming from an
unseen direction were traced.
The killing of lloebel had brought up
the discussion. and they were com
mentlng on theI attempt mode to trace
the place whence the fatal bullet
came by means of a tight wire
stretched to various windows of the
Kentucky capitol.
“i think i can recall a story that
beats that." said an old detective.
after they had looked at it from all
points of view. "I was down in Hot
Springs, Ark. once when u very pecu-
liar accident. happened to a policeman
there. He was. more properly speak
lng,un applicant for admission on the
force and was undergoing a physical
examination. They had him standing
up against the wall and had just adjust-
ed the measuring machine to take his
heights. when zip! Mr. Policeman clap-
pcd his hands to his right eye and fell
Ill a heap. He was picked up almost
unconscious and an examination IlIs-
closcd the fact that ho had been hit
just above the eye by a partially spent
bullet. which had fallen to ihe floor
with him.
“We doctored him up and found him
only slightly hurt. but everybody was
wondering whcrc in the world that.
bullet had come from. No shot had
been heard and no shooting afi’ray had
been reported all that day. but there
was a young army officer at the reser-
vation there who was pretty well
known as an engineer In the artillery
arm of the service. He heard of the
queer happening, and he became lute"-
estcd in the case. He came down to
headquarters next day and had a Iaik
with Chief ....-_ and the upshot of it
was that he was given I Irmisalon to
work on the affair. as he said he was
sure he could locate the exact spot
whence the shot came.
"The first thing he did was to exam
Inc the measuring machine and he
found it just as it was left when the
prospective policeman had been bowled
over. so he had him get under the bar
again and stand just as he had stood
the day before. When he had rigged
up his own nimrldpo he got the exact
altitude of the place where the bullet
struck and the direction of the bullet
In the wound. I can't give you the
technical description. but he worked at
his instruments and worked at. his pa-
per and finally told us he was going
to ascertain the trajectory of the bullet
and Its flight. lie weighed the bullet
and measured It also to II hair's
breadth and planted his machine so
that. his ucedlc would be exactly in the
spot where the wound would have been
III the pollccman’s head had he stood
there. i forgot to say the builct had
evidently come through the window
opposite. and outside was II perspec-
tive of housciops with the ridge of
mountains away to the back of them.
”Of course, we were all might cur-
lous and a whole lot skeptical, but the
military chap kcpt."hls mouth shut and
worked away nearly all day. Finally
toward dusk he jumped up and put on
his coat and told the chief to follow
him. You can wager We all did. and
those follows who were on duty were
awfully soro because they couldn't go
" '00 you iIIIII that tall houso behind
the water worka?‘ said the officer.
“ 'Yes,‘ said We.
“ ‘Wcll, do you see that white house
to the flight? Now do you see the edge
of that. about lying up under the hill-
sldc about tutf wuy'l'
" ‘All right)” said he: ‘that's where
the builct came from: if it didn't l‘ll
sot up Illi‘ dinners down at the Park
Hotter.”
"Well. you may believe We all struck
the road pretty quick even if some In
us did doubt. him, for we wanted to gel.
that dinner. it. took IIII about an hour
to make the place. having to do II deal
of twisting about. and at last we came

none of us was prepared for the night
we beheld when the chief opened the
door. There was the old fellow lying
prone on the floor and meaning faint
Iy We went up and examined him
and there was blood all even his clothes
and a bullet hole in his neck.
The army chap felt sorry, I guess.
but he didn‘t look it. but we all-set
about bringing the old fellow around.
and when we had removed him down
the hillsideI to II neighbor's house, he
rallied all right under the physician
and told us his tale. He said he had
been set upon by ”Big Mike.’ at notorI
ious gambler and desperado of the
Springs, who had been away to the
races at Memphis and come back
broke just a couple of days before.
“The old man said he had found him
in his shanty. rummaging among the
mattresses. and when discovered had
drawn a revolver and let him have it.
The first shot missed. but the second
out a ball thrrough the muscles ofthe
old man's nook. and he 'wus almost.
dead from loss of blood when we found
him. To corroborate the old man's
story II {if-caliber Colt revolver was
found in the bushes outside, and this
was the same caliberas the ball that
had hit the policeman. The army chap
didn't set “em up to dinner that night.
but the chief did. and you can put. it
down that we didn‘t make any more
fun of that Wont Point graduate and

jcctorlcu after that. He owned the
