while there was still a chance for his
life the physicians thought IL advisable
not 10 permit him 10 make an ante-
norton statement OF the circumstances
surrounding the shooting. lie died,
therefore. without making any
statement. and the case against
Kincaid will rest entirely on
the testimony OF himself and two
eye-wi,nesscs Of the tragedy. One of
these cyc-witncsscs was samuel Donald
son. OF Tennessee, ~door-kccpcr OF tho
House OF Representatives, who has re-
fused to make any tem for publi-
cation. Donaldson was with Taulbee
at the time the shooting occurred. Tho
other witness was a boy who Is not 70
be found. The stories OF the shooting
differ in one important particular.
Kincaid and Taulbee had had an en-
counter some time prior to the shooting
in the corridor adjoining the hall Of the
House Of Representatives on the east.
II was said just after the shooting took
place that Kincaid had armed himself
after the first encounter with Taul-
bee, and seeing him going down tho
stairs that lead 70 the basement had
run after him. called to him, and as no
turned. shot him in the face. kincaid
claims that he armed himself in fear Of
danger from q further encounter with
Taulbee; that Taulbee had warned him
TO arm himself. and that Taulbee insult
ed and attacked him on their second en-
counter. rendering, in his opinion. re.
sort 10 the pistol a necessity. The theory
Of self-dcsense will be set up BY Kin
caid's lawyer.
As soon rs the news OF Taulbec's
death reached police headquarters. an
officer was SENT to Kincaid's room. no
was awakened. and after he had dressed.
was taken to the police station where he
now is.
William Preston Taulbee represented
the Tenth district OF his State in tho
Forty-ninth and Fifticth Congresses.
He was eminent in debate for his luency
and vocal power, gifts which we're aided
in their effect by his superior stature.
Mr.. Taulbcc's home was at Saylorsvillc,
Ky. lie was born in Morgan County,
that State. october -. 1851, and was
educated in private country schools.
The three years between 1875 and 1878
were spent by him in preparation for
the ministry, and during the next three
years he read law. He was elected
clerk 70 Magofin County Court in
1878 and reelected in 1ss2. His first
election to Congress was in 1854.

Usually the wolf hunts in packs, although in

these animals, for the most part who have
done those deeds which in every country in
Europe have made the wolf famous for ferocity,
astuteness, and strength. According to Capt
Forsyth they are apt to pair in India, where
it is infrequent to find more than six or seven
together. Wherever they hunt in numbers
tho prey is either run down by that "long
gallop," which devours distance without any
considerable exertion being apparent upon the
part of the animal, and Which is seemingly
tireless; or the pack divides and drives the
game toward their ambnsbed companions, rs
the practice is with the wild dog and lion.
