BovD's CITIZENSHIP.


Alncoan Attorneys Started the Inyestiwa-
q flon "a GAINESVILLE, %.
II ZAyKsvTLLE, o., Dec. l5.--It was at
the instance of certain Lincoln attor-
news that the records of the common
pleas and probate courts OF Muskingum
uDunty were examined TO determine when
4oseph Boyd, the father OF Coy. Elect
$ames +. Boyd OF Nebraska, was natur-
alized. Joseph Boyd, the father, came
rom his native land, Ireland, 20 America
In 1874. At that time the son, James 4.
lloyd, was 10 years old. In is49 he
reached GAINESVILLE, and In March of the
anne year, In the common pleas court of
fhis county, died declaration of his In
fantion 30 become citizen of the United
Mates, but he did not take out his final
gapers until Oct. 3, 1890 Meantime,
however, he voted at all the elections
and held Office, and does yet, being
weighmaster OF the Seventh ward.
LINCOLN, Eeb., Dec. I5.--Much In
terest has been created In this city and
sn the state In fact, by the announce
ment that James X. Boyd, the demo
cratic governor elect, was Ineligible TO
tho Office because he was not a citizen OF
the United States. Boyd was born In
AkEt1tfus NC g&tuc t0 AmNEtg& with MS
father while yet q minor. The story Is
that bis father took out his first natural
ixation papers not until the late election,
and that young Boyd has never himself
been naturalized. The constitution of
tbs state requires that man 70 be ELI
gIble 90 the Office OF governor must be DO
years old and for two years preceding, q
citizan OF the United States and the
6fMtH. The statute fnEthar provides that
The minor sous 81 h nAtuFnsExed foreigner
are themselves natnrallxed. The SUI
preHle court of this state has decided
that man must be eligible on the day
Of the election, or else he cannot take
the office. In the case decided. Richards
applied 10 the supreme court for q writ
Df quo warranto TO oust one Mcmillan
from the office OF county treasurer OF
Dawes county, alleging that at. the late
election he had received Q majority OF
The votes cast. Mcmillan, the incum-
bent. responded admitting his petition,
but asserting that Richards was not
citizen of the state on election day. The
courts sustained the response, denied the
writ and allowed Mcmillan to hold over.
II similar ruling should be made la
this case II might be that Gov. Thayer
would hold over.

Bosros, Dec. l5.-Ex-AssIstant Post
master General Clarkson, In an inter
view on national politics, said he did mot
ascribe to biz importers the extraordin-
ary large share In the defeat OF the re-
publicans at the recent election.
Speaking of the election bill Clarkson
said he was In favor OF It, bat there were
no assurances II would pass, as some
senators who had specnIations at stake
would let the bill be defeated through
delay.
On the prospects OF financial leglsla-
tion Clarkson thought there was ma
iority In each house In favor of free
coinage. He thought revision Of the
banking law was needed In favor Of the
farmer, and said the Farmers alliance
has come 20 stay until some modification

Excited Members of the Legislature Come
TO Blows on the Fioor-A Duel Likely.
ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. i5.--Georgia's
farmer legislature will NEST likely have
y duel on its hands before adjournment,
caused by a personal encounter In the
house At It's night session, between Col.
Humphreys and DIR. Baldwin. The tax
bill has been under discussion for two
days, and the rural members, led by
Humphreys, who IL an attorney, antag-
onized all appropriations for higher edu-
cation. They failed to defeat the ap-
preparation for the state university, but
succeeded In defeating the items for the
seven branch colleges, which means to
close them up. This created
bitter feelings between the farmers
and the professional men. Dur
ing the session Friday Humphreys se-
cured the floor and said he had been In
formed that some one had said the farm
ers were being led In their opposition Ia
the colleges by drunken, measly little
lawyer. He denounced the author Of the
statement as q lawyer. DIR. Baldwin
here interrupted Humphreys to state
that he had made the statement and re-
peated that Humphreys was under the
influence Of whisky. He went further
and expressed his readiness 10 whip
Humphreys then and there. The two
men rushed for each other and were In
the midst OF Graeco- Roman wrestle
when the sergeant~at-arms took 3 hand
and ended the trouble for the moment

matter In hand at this Hour and there IN

A Dead Elenhant,

The recent Indian papers describe the
difficulty attending the disposal of the body
of an elephant at Nowsaree, in Baroda,
which illustrates the Indian saying that an
elephant must be buried where it dies,
says the London Times. 1t appears that q
tame elephant, which has been kept at
Nowsaree for many years, died. The news
was at once teleRraphed to Baroda, and
sanction for expenses incidental to the
burial of the animal obtained. The local
authorities then held q council as to how
the remains should be rem owed to distant
part of the town, where they could be in
tered without endangering the health of
the inhabitants. It was suggested that the
body should be cut up into pieces, which
might then be removed and disposed of. but
this idea was rejected. 1t WAS then re-
solved to drag the remains out of the
town, and with that object to pull down one
of the walls within which the animal had
been confined. Hundredc of coolies were
pressed into the service, and number Of
carpenters, ironsmiths and other artisans
were engaged to construct huge car OF
wheels to convey the dead animal. But tn,
body. which weighed several tons could NO
be lifted, much less removed, from the plac,
where it was. Various attempts were mad,
for three days, but they failed one after tn
other. When the authorities saw that the.
were baffled in all their endeavors to NOV
the body, they resolved to adopt the sug
aestion made et the outset, and EVENTUAL!
caused it to be cut into pieces, which wer
then buried at q short distance from tn
place. When the body was submitted t,
the operation it emitted such. repulsiv
doors that Rance Jumnabal. the adoptiv
