REGARDING ELEPHANTS.
WHY Not Have Them in Nevada

that State. He says thai as an
article Of food the elephant is SUI
perior to the horse; African eX-
plorers are all profuse in the
praises Of elephant steak. An
elephant grown weighs about 1000
pounds, and Mr.. Y. counts on
5000 pounds Of good meat from
each elephant. He expects to
supply the market with elephant
meat; also to Grain the animals TO
pick oranges. He claims that one
elephant would pick more oranges
than ten men, never strike for
higher wages or fiirt with the hired
girl,
This reminds US Of a little Incl
dent that happe2ed about the time
Forepaugh's circus broke up in
this city some years ago.
The elephant was attached. but
one night when the Deputy Sher-
if WAS asleep, the circus man
whistled to the big beast and he
walked right out of the stable,
taking with him the whole side OF
the building and going off in the
darkness.
The man took his pet to Empire
and early in the morning came
along the road back of the Hol,
stein ranch en- route for Lake
View to get the elephant out Of
the county.
A man engaged on the ranch
saw the big beast coming. and in
great state of excitement woke
the writer up.
The scribe went out and at once
saw what was the matter; the ele-
plant and his keeper were making
a bee line for the ranch.
We'll, what's the natter"
asked the owner Of the ranch.
Matter enough" said the hired
man lido you see that coming?"
Yes; it's an elephant coming
here to plow. Put a new point on
the plow right away and get ready
to go to work"
But I never plowed with an
elephant"
"Never plowed with an elephant?
Great Soottl man; I thought you
told me you were familiar with
ranch work"
II never plowed with elephants
in California"
"Iye got nothing to do with
California methods OF ranching. \
man who ranches in Nevada has
got TO use elephants. Do you
s'pose I'm goin' to wear my horses
out plowiu' up buckskin land? Go
in the shed and yank that pIow
out and be quick about it."
The man obeyed and the ele-
plant sauutered into the yard to
a drink. The writer hurriedly ex-
planned the situation, and when
the hired man again hove in sight
the fellow on the elephant was
ready.
"OId Jumbo's feeling a little
mean today, but I guess he'll plow
all right after an hour or 80 in
harness."
81 never had no experience with
plowin," said the hired
man.
This elephants been blowing
in Mason Valley all Summer and
given good satisfaction"
"You kin count me OUT" said
the man as the elephant took
s. couple of steps toward him.
I'm a California rancher, L am.
I'll quit my job first. Guess I'll
quit anyhow" And he put on his
coat and struck out for town.
His month was just up. and he
bad survived his usefulness any
how. He left for California that
night, and said he was going to
Oroville. A few weeks afterwards
the Oroville Mercury stated that
lad been introduced in
Nevada and wero being used with |
great success breaking up sage
brush and buckskin land.

MR. MAURICE SMITH FOR THE DEFENSE.
Mr.. Clagett finished his argument few min
utes after II o'clock. and Mr.. c. Maurice Smith
Immediately took his position before the jury
to begin the argument for the defense. Mr..
Smith said his purpose was to discuss the case
in kindly spirit, without bitterness. The act
they claimed, one Of malice. They claimed
that the proof was overwhelming that IL the de-
PENDANT had not shot Taulbee he would be now
where Taulbee is. Mr.. Usgett, he said. had
resorted to the tactics common to prosecuting
attorneys. and on the wings OF imagination took
them to Taulbees grave and drew q picture,
not for the purpose Of throwing light on the
case, but to excite the imagination Of the Jury
and draw their attention from the facts Of the
case. Mr.. Clagett, he said, had paraded before
the jury with the pistol in his hand and the
cane. which he called a bludReon. The defense
did not deny that the pistol was used; that IL
was fired by the defendants right hand; that IL
was in his possession for the purpose Of defend

'Who contradicts it?'' Mr.. Clagett went on,
turning toward kincaid. "Yes. 4 do The
only contradiction to that comes from the man
who is swearing to save his lite. What will not
a man do to save his life? What will not man
do for his liberty? Now, gentlemen Of the
jury. it is for you to decide which one. dead
Taulbee or living Kincaid, is likely to have
made a mistake"
Mr.. Clagett referred to the testimony relGt-
ing to threats by Taulbee. beginning as early
as December, 1887, and pointed out that no
effort seemed to have been made to carry out
these threats.
sTILLMANs TESTIMONY RIDIcCLEp.
Mr.. Clagett then snalyzed and ridiculed the
testimony Of Mr.. Stillmsn, the witness from
Friendship, n. Y, who claimed to have been
standing at the foot of the stairs ard 10 have
heard a voice saving Stand back. [" and turn
ing. saw big man rushing at little man and
then saw the shot fired. upon which Stillman
ran and tried to jump out of q window. Mr..
Clagett commented on the fact that no one Of
the other witnesses saw Stillman there. IL
Taulbee had been rushing onto Kincaid. he
said, Taulbee would have been shot full in the
face. 1t was testified here that Teulbee was six
feet two inches in height. The testimony as to
the difference in the sizes Of the men demon
strated that Taulbee was considerably below
kincaid on the stairs when the shot was fired.
kincaid held his pistol out on a level. The bull
let struck Iaulbee near the eye. He referred
to Parsons positive testimony that there was
10 one on the stairs below him. Stillman did
not see Parsons; Parsons did not see Stillman,
because Stillman was not there. Mr.. Clagett
summed up the transaction from the govern
ments point OF view; the alteration at the
door; the feelings Of malice and revenge that
followed: the trip by Kincaid from the Capitol
to his lodgings; the arming himself there and
the return to seek Taulbee.
Mr.. Clagett in closing his address referred
again to the circumstances of the crime and
said if such things could happen in the capital
of the nation well might they exclaim:
ION horrors head horrors accumulate;
Do deeds TO make heaven weep. all earth amAsed.
For nothing csnst thou to dAnnation add.

GROSS DECEIT.
Pulling the Wool Over the Eyes
of the Canadians.
The Dominion Cabinet Adopts
an Unfair Course

In Their Attempt to Defeat the Proposed
Reciprocity Treaty with the United
States-Should Blaine BE Silent After
Sir John Macdonald Has Violated the
Usages of Diplomacy?
TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 9.-The. Globe
says editorially:
'Our Washington correspondents states
that the state department at Washington
is somewhat surprised at Sir Sohn Mac
donald's conduct in making public his
proposal for partial reciprocity before
it had been communicated by the British
government to Mr.. Blaine. The ques-
tion of diplomatic etiquette involved
may be an important one for diplomates,
but it is still more important, in our
judgment, that the intention of the
United States government should be
called to the gross deceit to which it is
being made a party by the ministers at
Ottawa and their newspapers.
''The Canadian people are told, in
substance, that the government is will
ing to agree to & modified treaty of 1854,
and are asked to re-elect Sir John Mac
donald on that understanding. Mr..
Blaines letter to Congressman Baker is
sufficient to convince an intelligent per-
son that the administration at Washing
ton will not entertain such scheme.
Nevertheless, the ministers and their
organs speak as if they knew better than
Mr., Blaine, and are literally dragging
the Washington administration into the
of a fraud upon the
elecorate of this country. We no not
know whether the usages of diplomacy
are regarded by Mr. Blaine as binding
upon him even after Sir John has vio-
lated them in the manner described. 1t
seems to us, however, that Mr., Blaine is
almost in duty bound to take notice
publicly Of the course which our cabinet
is pursuing.n

SIR JULIAN PAuNCEFoTE- in the Behrine
sea case. The minister expressed his
thanks for the information and his
pleasure over the news, and volunteered
considerable interesting .alk on the sub
ject.
The correspondent made an accurate
statement of the various points, and tele-
graphed 1t to New York. Thence it
was sent to London as an interview with
the English minister at Washington
Thereupon the London press upbraided
him, and intimated that one minister
had already been bounced for the same
kind of indiscretions. These sentiments
of the English press were telegraphed
here. Whereupon the minister, evil
IDENTIFY thinking a full and free denial
the short way out of the scrape, wrote a
note to the agent of the Associated
Press. In this he gave his whole case
away by saying he had talked for few
minutes to man in tram-car.
This was also telegraphed to London,
when the press there Immediately held
up its hands in horror and expressed its
surprise, both that their minister should
be riding about in plebian tram-car,
and that he should talk on diplomatic
subjects to man in the car. This came
back by telegraph and was printed in
the Washington newspapers Friday
afternoon. The whole town is in
laugh over the affair The gentleman
whom the minister calls "a man in
curate and gentlemanly correspondents
here, whose word where he is known is
as good as that of any diplomatist, and
better than the word of most of them.
