MCCLELLAN SUIT is
NEARING A CLOSE.
After Two Weeks in District Court,
Testimony Ended and Lawyers
Present Argument.

The suit of J. D. A. Mcclellan VS..
The Brownsville Land and Irrigation
Company which for the past fifteen
days has been on trial in the district
court will probably reach the jury
this afternoon. Testimony was con-
cluded yesterday afternoon and today
has been devoted to the argument by
the attorneys, each side being given
four hours in which to complete their
arguments. The result of this case
is being watched with the keenest
interest throughout the valley coun-
try, by both the consumers of water
and those who operate canals, as
there are several cases now pending
of similar nature before the district
court, and the result in this case will
probably establish a precedent for
the others.

 "Mr. Speaker: The bill before the house reminds me of personal ex- perience which happened many years ago. As I came up from Old Mexico into southeastern Arizona in the early dangerous pioneer days. I saw Eian hanging by the neck to limb of a tree. I rode across to see the corpse and I saw placard pinned on his back on which was written very plainly these words: ''This was very bad man in some respects. but damn'd sight worse in others"

Wife Dumb. Has To. listen.

Arriving at the conclusion that his
wife could and did talk enough for
both of them, Isaac Hollar, after
quarrel with her, fifteen y years ago,
vowed never to speak TO her again..
so for that length of time kept silent.
He was moved to change his mind
a few days ago only after a distress
ing accident had happened to his
wife. While she was in san excited
frame of mind and was engaged in
reminding him of his shortcomings,
her tongue suddenly became paralyz--
ed, so that in a second, she became
speechless. i- 80 s'-f - 49,

Animals That Earn Their Living.

The number and variety of four
footed creatures on the stage or in
the circus and earning good salaries
for their trainers is astonishing.
Lions, tigers, elephants, bears, horses,
clown mules, Shetland ponies who
dance the lanciers in sets, acrobatic
dogs, horses that do-.fractions, and
monkeys that accomplish some feats
that require almost human intelli-
gence and ability are legion. Good
animal actors are always in demand,
and the salaries they command are
powerful incentives for trainers to
rack their brains to hit upon some
new and amusing act. 1t is not the
cleverest act that wins approval so
much as the most original and anus
ing.
There are two universal rules
among animal trainers. The first is
to become familiar with the animals
and to known his temperament-an and
to make friends with him. The next
thing is to make the animal under
stand thoroughly what it is that you
want him to do and to make him
do it. The animal must be made
to feel that the, man is his superior;
then unremitting labor and infinite
patience are required if a successful
result is to, be Obtainede-Harriet
