Elephantine jealousy is no laughing
matter. An extraordinary instance OF
this huge and unwleldy sentiment was
seen at Twickenham when Charlie. the
elephant which gained n great deal OF
notoriety some months ago by killing
his keeper In revenge for some real or
fancied slight, made an outrageous at
tack on fellow pachyderm named Ed
gar because he imagined the latter was
paying too much attention to Mary, n
female elephant, In whose affections
Charlie thought he ought to reign su-
prcmc. Edgar was purchased the 9th
er day at Earl's Court, and as he is not
yet accustomed to the strict discipline
OF circus 1t was found necessary to
curb his disposition to run away by
claiming him from the tusks to Mary,
whose gentle character would, 1t was
hoped exercise q soothing effect on his

eyed the couple vindictlvely and wait
ed his opportunity. Tho circus people
kept him away from the happy pair
as much as possible. but suddenly one
morning. while Edgar and Mary,
chained together, were taking stroll
in the field where the tent was pitched.
Charlie saw them, trumpeted like the
herald in an old-fashioIed turnament
giving the signal for the affray, and
made dash for Edgar. The latter
commenced trumpeting also; so did
Mary Seven or eight other elephants
in the circus Joined in the chorus
which was soon increased in volume by
the efforts of camels, dromedaries,
horses and fowls of all kinds with
which the menagerio abounds. The
music was fully equal to score OF
German bands playing in their most
approved and variegated style. Char

though the other is quite as big rs he
Is Edgar was forced to flee and was
pushed by his adversary through a
brook which separates two fields, drag

How the fight would have ended it Il
impossible TO say had not tho great
noise caused all the people OF the circus
to assemble with poles. ropes, sticks
and whips and end the combat--nu
easy task, as Charlie seemed deter
mined to put an end TO Edgar's court
ship for all time. However. the united
efforts of trainers, drivers and attend
ants succeeded In beating on the as-
gressor. The moment he saw the Odds
were against him he sounded a final
defiant war-whoop and trotted of to
his stable. Edgar was then examined
and 1t was found that he had really
suffered very little injury. Charlie had
buttcd him in the head, causing q
slight wound under one eye, from
which blood was slightly flowing, Lut
beyond that the only damage he seems
to have received consisted Of scratches
on his back and sides from being
pushed through hedge. Charles

Dist. No. 3 held an instructive ses-
sion at Oakes Saturday. The attend
ance Of all but four of the working
teachers is significant, especially
when it is known that absent ones
were prevented from coming. The
class exercise in the Fourth Reader
was conducted with the purpose OF
bringing out the meaning OF words.
the ability to use them, the express
sion of thought as CLEANED from
preparation, and intelligent oral
reading. A paper on pictures in
Primary Work. was helpful with
many original suggestion. The dis
trict gives promise of good work.
TWO CLOSE CALLS.
The fire department was called out
twice this week. Monday during the
terrible wind storm fire was discover
ed under the side walk in front OF
Hoelzle's tailor shop. 1t was extin-
guished before the engine reached
the we'll. Again Wednesday during
the gale from the south Hans Lees
house was reported to be on fire.
The gasoline tank to the stove had
been filled too full and when the stove
was lit the flame run up the pipe
and burned around the tank and al
SO set fire to lot of papers on tho
shelf in the kitchen. Had it not
been for the prompt action of Miss
Foss and Mrs. Lee getting water on
the flames serious fire would have
been the result.

LITTLE UTAH.
Some Of the Reasons for the
the Name.

The Hecla Standard in its art icle
on the Norton Shelton shooting af-
fair give the following account OF
the circumstances which led up to
the shooting:
The circumstances leading up to
this lamentable affair, dates back sew
eral months and forms an interesting
chapter in the history of our sister
state and has given rise to the term
of Little Utah" being applied to
that section of the Dakotas. About
a year ago Norton's wife ran away
with man by the mama of Perry,
and Vibbert's wife ran away with
man by the name of Clark, and Per-
ry's wife went to keep house for Vih-
bert. They say that an even ex,
change is no robbery, but Norton,
the man who did the shooting, was
lett without a wife. Some time dur.
ing the winter or carly spring Perry
and Norton's wife returned to thu
neighborhood aud proceeded to make
life a burden for the unfortunate one
and used as their accomplice in this
ueVlltsn WORK, Cue ulau SneltOU.
Shelton is said to hava had u very
quarrelsome disposition and has en-
braced every opportunity possible to
get into row and has often be,n
heard to remark that he would shoot
Norton on sight. Shelton aud Perry
carried firearms continually. Tuls
state of affairs has been going on for
several months and finally resulted
in the death Of Shelton as above
Oakes weekly Republican. (Oakes, Dickey County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1898, 1897-10-15

stated. 1t is commonly stated by
those who are familiar with the facts
that the shooting was justifiable in
every sense of the word. The man
Norton, as far as we are able to learn
was naturally Of quiet disposition,
and through all the nagging of the
opposite parties has never carried
firearms until the day of the shoot
ing, often making the remark that if
they would leave him alone he would
not molest them.
That the peaceable and law abid-
ing citizens of that community have
tolerated the actions of some of the
residents for so long seems strange
and can be accounted for only in one
way, that is fear of injury to them
selves and their property. If it has
arrived at that stage of existence
where rutlianism and brute force is
going to rule our land, it it is time
the people are vakening to the
facts. Let the proper authorities
take hold OF this matter and cleanse
the filth from the land. If it cannot
be accomplished peaceably then do
it by force, but let it be done and
done thoroughly.

There are openings for teachers in

The teacher deserves encourage

routine is irksome at best. The de-
voted hard-working teacher merits a
warm glow of approval from pupil
and patron while the term is in pro-
gress.
Teachers are heartily benefited in
visiting schools. if the visit is made
the most of. Note carefully the man

Kind parents, you know you can

Our purpose and duty is to make the
