An Elephant Whipped by a Man.

One of the cases before the mayor
yesterday morning was that of Rufus
Reed (colored), who was charged with
an aifray with Sells little elephant, and
the facts brought out proved that the
man whipped the elephant. Reed, who
is II tall, muscular colored man, lad been
giving the elephant a few apples, hand
ing in all except one, which he put in
his vest pocket. While his attention
WAS turned the elephant reached out his
trunk and, getting hold of Rufus's rocket,
tried to pull the apple out, tearing the
vest nearly off before the wearer'satten-
| ton was turned to the elephants prank.
Selling the elephants trunk ("snoot,"
Reed called it), he tried to wrench his
vest and the apple away from it, but the
elephant drew its trunk from Reeds
hands, and. swinging it around, gave
Rec. a terrible blow on the side of the
head. Reed drew back and felled the
elephant to the ground with a blow from
bis fist, delivered over the eye. The
elephants keeper then attacked Reed,
and Reed knocked him down. In the
meantime the elephant had regained its
legs n gave Reed another blow on the
side. Reed was now thoroughly exas-
perated, and actually knocked the ele-
plant over on its back, add then left
the tent. AS the elephant had left the
city and could not appear in court yes
terday, the mayor took Reeds state.
ment and let him off lightly, feeling that
the elephant deserved the fogging.

Latest Patent Decisions.

The commissione of patents has recent
ly rendered several decisions of importance
to inventors. He holds:
First-The law contemplatas that a pat.
ent shall be granted for each distinct and
independent invention, not for multiplicity
of inventions. Where there can be no
question that there are two in~dependent
inventions embraced in the application
within the meaning of the patent law, to
grant a patent covering both would be a vi
olation of duty On the part of the officer
granting the patent, anG a violation of the
law when it was granted.
Second-Where a part OF an application
relates to an independent invention. it
should not be allowed to remain merely
because their is no office classification Of
such Inventions. Applicants should not be
gyanted an invalid patent because of the
classification OF the Office. Although a par
y may be first to conceive and embody an

Look Out for Fraudulcnt Pre- emp
ZION Patents.

Denver (Col.) dispatch.-An unusually
important case was dc:ded by Junge Nc.
Crary OF the United States circuit court.
The United States brought a suit to cancel
sixty.one patents to lands held by the Col
orado Coal & from company and OF ,ers IN
Las Aminas county. The patents were OBJ.
taiued through the presumption law be.
tween 1870 and 1874, issued from the pub
lie land office. 1t was afterward found that
the patents were ir%reeulariy obtained and
the pstentees fictitious persons. Testimony
was introduced to show that the register
and receiver of rhe land office were parties
70 the fraud. The defense claimed the
deeds were now good, granting they were
fraudulently obtained beca ase they are now
in the hands of innocent parties. The
judge held adversely and rendered a de-
cision in favor of the complainant which
capcels the title to 1850 acres OF valuable
land.
