Mcconnell says he has received no
communication from the jury yet, and
as far as he knows, they had not yet
agreed upon verdict. A significant
fact in connection with the PROBABLE
ity of a speedy verdict, is that anoth-

grand jury down stairs. The Cronin
jury still occupy the grand jury room.

Carved in a Bar-room.

Sioux CITY, December 16.-Ekmer
Erwin, son of prominent business
man of this city, was killed yester-
day in a restaurant in Covington,
across the river. Erwin had stepped
up to the bar and ordered a drink,
when James Toohey, better known as
montana Jim," asked if he was not
in ON the deal. On receiving a mega
tive answer he abused Erwin and
was knocked down. Toohey rushed
into the kitchen and returned
with a knife, but was quickly
disarmed and apparently pacified.
After while Toohey slipped into the
kitchen again and returned with a
large carving knife, which he secreted
in his sleeve; when he came back
young Erwin stood with his back to
the cart. Toohey walked close to him
and plunged the knife into his throat
on the left side, just above the collar
bone, severing the jugular vein. He
then stepped closer and turned the
knife almost around. AS the bystaud-
ers pulled him away, he drew the
bloody blade with him. Erwin fell to
the floor and expired in ten minutes.
Toohey has been taken to Dakota
City to avoid lynching.

Stealing a Child,

A remarkably intelligent elephant
working on new bridge in Ceylon,
says Murray's Magazine, had young
one to whom she was perfectly de-
voted. 1t died, and she became in
consolable. Formerly the gentlest of
creatures, she grew irritable and even
dangerous. One morning she broke
the chain which confined her and es-
capped into the forest.
One night, about ten days after her
escape, the officer who had been in
charge of her went out to lie in wait
for bears at pond in a jungle at some
distance.
AS he and his native attendant were
returning, early in the morning, the
native silently nudged him, and they
saw in the dim, gray light an ele-
plant with her calf making their way
toward the camp. They both sprang
behind trees, and when the elephants
had passed, the native insisted that
the older one was their old friend.
When they reached the camp they
found that the truant had indeed re-
turned, and bad gone from one person
to another, touching each with her
trunk, as If she were exhibiting her
adopted child, which she had evident
ly begged, borrowed or stolen during
her absence.
Her good temper and usual docility
at once, and her owner bless
ed the good fortune which had en-
Rbled her to steal a child.
