How the Famous Elephant Met

with His Death Last Tuesday
Evening.
ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18.-A special "a
the Chronicle gives particulars Of the kill
Ing Of the famous elephant Jumbo at st.
Thomas, Ontario. on Tuesday evening last.
After the show was over q driver started
down the track with Jumbo and the baby
elephant Tom Thumb 10 where the Grand
Trunk freight train was standing. There
are q great many tracks at that point used
in switching cars on the Grand Trunk air
line, which there joins the. main road. On
one side OF the track was the train and on
the other q steep e~mbankment. As the
train came around q curve the keeper tried
to induce Jumbo to 60 down the embank-
ment, but he would not. The reason ct
first was not apparent. The baby ele-
plant was in the rear, and as the train
approached Jumbo began to below and
swing his trunk. The little elephant
seemed dazed, but did not get out Of the
way. As the engine was almost upon
them Jumbo raised upon his hind legs, as
though to protect the baby, and then
quick as thought dropped down and
grabbed him in his trunk and hurled him
with great force over all the tracks and
against q freight car, 20 rods away, where
he dropped down, whining like q puppy
with q sore foot. Jumbo In saving the
life Of his protege entirely neglected his
own chance to escape. The locomotive
struck him with full force in the side,
crowding him against some cars on the
siding nearest him, and fairly squeezing
the life out Of him. When they came to
the end of the switch the engine left the
track with five freight cars that stood on a
Then there was a scene never to
be forgotten by those who witnessed it.
The mangled beast roared with pain, and
the little elephant rosred as loudly as be
could in sympathy. The crush was too
heavy to leave any chance of recovery, |
and the bystsnders could only wait for
Jumbo's death, which was not long. In
three minutes he turned over on his back
dead. II was found that the baby ele-
phapt sustained a broken leg, and as there
was no help for him orders we're given
that he be put out Of his misery. which |
was carried into effect yesterday

Some ten days ago the SENTINEL pub
lished an article concerning the number Of
newspapers in the State, in which Roop
county was spoken of as 7" un~organized "
and without q newspaper. The Reno Jour-
nal. in copying the article, adds the CON-
mept, "There ia no such county in Nevada
as Roop." 1t makes no fur her statement.
and one u~nacqusinted with the matter
would suppose that the SENTINEL had been
guilty of an ignorant blunder in saying
what 1t did. Such, however, is not the
case. There is such q county in Nevada
to-day as Roop, but IL is, as we said, "un-
organized" The following bit Of history
and particulars concerning the territory
may be of interest:
The county is described as beginning at
the northwest corner of Washoe county,
and running easterly along the northern
border of said county to the mouth of the
Truckee river; thence due east to the sum-
NIT Of the first range Of mountains east Of
said river; thence in q northerly direction
along said range and The main granite
range OF mountains to the Oregon line;
thence west along said line to the summit
of the Sierra; thence south along said sum
NIT to the place of beginning. 1t was first
named Lake county. but the Legislature
changed its name to Roop by an Act Of
December Q, 1862. The county WAS, about
1868. organized by newly-appointed off
GERS, but trouble with the authorities OF
Plumas county, CAL, ensued. IL appearing.

that the best portion of it was in that |
State. Thus Roop county was shorn Of its
best territory, the portion remaining being
a vast tract OF barren and uninhabited
land. On February IS, 1864, the Legisla-
ture passed an Act attaching Roop county
to Wsshoe for judicial and revenue pur-
poses," since which time it has continued
to be, in a way. q portion Of Washoe
county. Roop. along with the other coun-
ties Of the State, can be seen outlined and
represented on late maps of Nevada.

THIS INSTRUMENT IS CALLED THE
i ORANIAL O~TACOUSTIC, or Ear Trum-
pet. Seeing the disadvantage and bad results
arising from the use Of the ordinary tin
trumpet. has led me to the construction Of an
instrument which would render the assist
ance of . trumpet. and yet could be placed
Upon the head. After many trials. the follow
lug instrument has been made for me. 1t Is
Of black vulcsnized rubber, and weighs an
ounce and q quarter. The Otaooustic reseln-
bles the sphenoid bone In shape and relation.
Ii is placed on the top of the head. with tubes
running from the sounding-chamber into the
ears, thereby gaining all the assistance rem
dered through the bones and nerves of the
head. I have found that when the sound re-
ceiving chamber Is in contact with the bones
Of the head the effect of the trumpet as an aid
to hearing is considerably increased, and deaf
persons can hear much more distinctly than
with the ordinary ear trumpet, the sound-re-
ceiving chamber of which is distant from the
head. 1t will re seen that the trumpet,
formed as described, is much more conven-
lent than the ordinary form. since 1t does
away with the annoyance and embarrassment
of carrying q trumpet In the hand. It can be
wholly concealed by ladies'.
