Mr. Smith was the private secretary Of

Dangerous Calling

Perhaps the most dangerous, con-
stantly dangerous business in the world
is the one into which have been tossed
the business of elephant man with a
circus" said a menagerie employee.
There is a constant demand for bull
men, but few will accept the position,
and most of us fell into the business by
accident, and, showing talent or reck-
less disregard for consequences. made
a success in handling the animals, and
have since been classed as hull men,
and offered that job and no other.
Despite the perils, the constant
watchtulness. the half-conscious realfza-
ton that death is near, probably not an
elephant man in the world to-day would
leave his strange calling. 1t has fas-
cinatiOn Of a strange kind, and the keep
er becomes attached to the great brutes
that tremble at his word one instant
and the next may turn upon him and
trample him.
Good elephant men command good
pay
Most of them live in a state of con-
slant watchfulness, realizing the
treacherous nature of the brutes, and
those who do not realize this sooner or
later are trampled or hurled to death.
''The elephant is the most Preacher
Gus, moody, changeable animal in
menagerie. They are twice as danger
GUS as tigers, lions or bears. The men
who handle the big cats in their cages
are forced to watch closely and carefully
while they are in the cages with them,
but that lasts only short time.

ing foul play and afixing Treliord's
name to a weak affidavit.
The Citizen has asked for and
has received a verbatim copy OF
the attorney generals report. 1t
consists OF $50 pages Of closely
typewriter matter and is too
voluminous to publish. 1t is
open 10 the inspection OF anyone
desiring to know what it contains.
1t is needless to say that it con-
tains considerable matter much
more sensational than has hereto
fore been published.
The acting governor, in remov
ing Trelford simply did his duty.
He can stand f~earlessly on the
ground he has taken. He will re-
ceive the support and common
dation Of the people at large not
only for removing a man who was
unit to handle convicts but for re-
placing him with a man from New
Mexico. The acting governor had
a large list to choose from despite
the Hagerman idea that it required
an imported expert to fill the job.
The Trclford management is
another sample Of reform which
was handed out to the New Mex
leo people in the shape of a lemon.

ment OF convicts, the acting gov
ernor, J. w. Reynolds, did right.
In fact, he did the only thing open
to him. His action will be APP.
proved and endorsed by the peo-
pie Of New Mexico. The Citizen
congratulates him. Despite the
weak defense OF Treiford by the
Morning Journal, the report OF
Attorney General George w.
Prichard shows clearly that Trel-
ord was unfit to be in charge Of
any prison outside Of Russia per-
haps.
BY appointing Marion Littrell,
sheriff Of Colfax county, as prison
superintendent, the acting govern
or is above criticism. The Morn
ing Journal, which is quite adept
at discovering plots and conspir-
acies, even where they do not ex-
ist, is unable to say n word a.
gainst Sheriff Marion Literell. AS
an officer and a man, he has a rec
ord to be proud Of.
The strange part OF it was that
the late boy executive, Hagerman,
was unable to find a mar in New
Mexico capable of experimenting
our territorial prison. This ap-
pears strange. Marian Littrell as
well as several dozen other ex-
perianced officers lived in New
Mexico at the time Trelford was
appointed by Hagerman. The
only regrettable feature of the
whole Trelford affair is that il
should have been given so much
publicity. Such stories as the
Trelford case, hurt the name OF
New Mexico.
Few people will know that Trel-
ford is not a New Mexican; that
he was imported from Leaven-
worth, Kansas, and that SO far as
any one knows, he still maintains
his home there. In fact, he will
now probably return to Leaven-
worth as soon as possible. The
sooner the better.
The play made by Trelford and
his attorney in attempting to cre-
ate the impression that they stood
ready to put on a defense and that
the attorney general refused to
allow them to do so, will not 90
down.
In the light of Hagerman's
method OF removing Bursum from
the prison, and then conducting a
secret Investigation, the public is
convinced that Trelford had more
than a fair hearing-that is accord
ing to the Hagerman ideas q. fair
ness.
1t i'll becomes the Morning Jour
nal to bring up that feature as an
argument. Treliord and his at.
torney were allowed to be present
at the examination of every wit
ness and to cross examine to their
hearts content. They could have
introduced witnesses galore had
they had witnesses. AS a matter
OF fact The Citizen believes they
could not make a defense other
