And the friends finally became convinced
that he was innocent in purpose, il not in

voluntary reaction from the Intense strain
to control himself through the day.
He was conscious of extreme nervous

BONES OF AN ELoTHERIUM
The Animal Long Extinct, and That
Accounts for Its Name

The discovery Of the entire skeleton Of
an elotherium in the Bad Lands, fifty
miles east Of Rapid City, s. D., has aroused
considerable interest among paleontolo-
gists, says the Rocky Mountain News. The
valuable find is accredited to Prof. o.
9. Harrington Of the Field Columbian mu-
scum Of Chicago. and the bones have been
shipped to the Windy City.
The interest in Colorado Is partly duo TO
the fact that Prof. o. c. Marsh, twenty
seven years ago, discovered a skeleton in
the northeast part of Colorado, the first
Of the species found. Prof. George L. Cam
non Of the East Denver high school. who
is paleontologist OF note, learned Of tie
discovery In the Bad Lands with interest
and gave some interesting bits of ir,forma-
ton concerning this ugly beast Of history

family and Of brontotheridae. Remains OF
the group have been known for nearly half
century. yet until recently comparatively
little had been determined with certainty
regarding the skeletons.
The adult individual. when alive. was
more than seven feet In length and about
four feet In height. The basis Of the resto-
ration by Prof. Marsh is the specimen
found by him in 1870 In the miocene beds
Of northwestern Colorado, and described in
1873 Looking at the skeleton the most
striking features arc the large and peculiar
skull and the elongated and slender limbs
and feet. The most noticeable points in
the skull are the long, pendent process Of
the molar bone, characteristic of some Of
the sloths, and the strong projection OF the
lower jaw. Another feature Of the skull
is the very small brain case, which proves
that the brain itself was very diminutive.
This was also true Of the other known spe-
cies, and was probably the main reason
which led to the early extinction of the
whole group. The slender, highly special
lied limbs and feet are likewise particular
ly noticeable in restorations. They indi-
cate clearly that the animal was capable
Of considerable speed, and thus must have
been of great service as a protection from
Its enemies.

CLAY AND THE BOWIE KNIFE
His Fatal Use Of It to Secure Hearing

The following story related by Ken

a time when Mr.. Richardson might have

Clay. During the Lincoln campaign
General Clay although STAKEHOLDER,
openly espoused the cause of the abolition
lists and went on the stump advocating
Lincolns election. At that day, perilous
indeed, was such a step in the state of
Kentucky. But he was not a man to be
deferred by danger from the advocacy
OF cause which he deemed right Firm
ly he stood against the storms of insult
and abuse that assailed his cause, but
these only made him more bitter, implac-
able and daring. He often spoke with
TWO heavy revolvers lying before him and
no one knew so well as he that his life might
be forfeited in defense of his faith at any
moment.
Toward the close of the campaign he
was making speech at a little town in cen
