BEAVER NEARLY FEELS TREE
Animal tesitates to Take Another
Bite for Fear Big Trunk Would
Fall on Him.

London.--With mingled pride and
anxiety the beaver in the London
Geological gardens is gazing on his
years work. -
A mighty tree trunk, which was
erected in his Enclosure IL months
ago is almost severed. 1t balances
on wasp waist only an inch in diam
eter, while the rest of the log is at
least food across. 1t was presented
to the beaver in order that he might
improve his teeth.
Chiseling away at the tough trunk
with his sharp teeths the great rodent
has put in hours at a time at this
work, alternating with periods of in
difference and neglect,
Now he has Clipped away all but
the last possible shaving. A careless
ly thrown pebble or another bite by
the beaver would cause the great log
to crash down. but the intelligent
beast, fearing for his own neck, omits
to bite.
In a breeze the upper part of the
tree trunk sways amazingly and yet
the wasp waist holds. The beaver

years ago a horse fell on J. H. IN
lott while he was at work at hin
trade Of horseshUer. This injury
was followed by three or four years
of illness. during which he was
physically disabled and incapable
as a man, ever since, and that for
a period Of IL years they have. oc-
cupied separate rooms at night. It
was after this accident, and during
this period of disability. that Rosie
Elliott's first trouble occurred and
her baby, little Helen, now seven,
was born. The child, a bright lit
tie mite, wholly unconscious OF the
tragedy of her life history being
detailed on the witness stand, was
present in the council chamber.
Mrs. Elliott said the family came
to Spokane in 1903 and that it was
after they came here that Rose
Elliott's condition was learned from
a woman physician, before whom
they took the girl for treatment,
presumably for tumor. After Mrs.
,'lliott returned home that night
she and her husband had the girl
to go on her knees before God and
swear as to the cause of her
trouble. She said that 1t was Mr..
Elliott's brother, Ernest Elliott,
who then lived back in Minnesota.
Nothing to the contrary was known
for five years, until Earnest Ell
lott turned up in Spokane and
telephoned that he was coming
out to the house. The girl grew
excited and said, my God, mama,
what will l do? l have told a lie
on Earnie; he is not the father of
my child" The girl was then ques-
toned as to the parentage of the
child and refused to tell. After
ward Mrs. Elliott learned that she
blamed number of parties.
The witness said the hayward
tendencies of the girl were allayed
for two or three years after her
first trouble and that she then
again started to 60 out nights. In
the summer of 1909, she began
keeping company with Colder, say
ing that she was single woman.
Then followed the efforts of the
old folks to break this attention, |
the two arresNs of Mr.. ElliAtt and
his final Incarceration IN jail for
seveI weeks, at the request of Gid
err. While Elliott was in Jail, Mrs.
Elliott visited Chief Sullivan and
redress but he refused |
to act. Later Sullivan came to
her home with Tuerke, was given
the facts, and he again failed to
move.
Mrs. Elliott told of threats by
Glider against Elliott, after the lat
er's release, made in her presence,

about this case that he would put

ness. Chapman was hauled to the
stand in the role of unwilling wit
ness" but despite his objections he
was forced to give what was prob
alb the most damaging testimony
against the ex-chief presented dur
ing the whole evening. Chapman
was hard of hearing, but seemed
to have been able to catch more
clearly everything that was said in
favor of Sullivan but could not re-
call that which was said against
him. Chapman told of the effort
of committee of citizens, one
member of which was a reporter
for The Press, making an effort to
have Reno Post look into the Ell
lott case. That was on Monday
night. The following night it was
announced that Sedgewick post
should take the matter up, so Chap
man saw Sullivan that day ito get

affidavit that the Elliott girl had
made against her father, VOLUNTEER

the copy that evening from Sulli-
vans hands to be use6 in convinc-
ing the G. A. r. that Elliott was
a bad and dangerous man. He said
that he had let one comrade read
the affaidavit to the meeting. He
said that his purpose was to keep
the affair out of the Grand Army,
and that it was outsiders" that
were trying to force the G. A. r.
to take up the battle of a persecut-
ed comrade.
Chapman testified that Sullivan
told him that Mrs. Hilda Rihard,

members of the prosecuting attor-
ney's office had joined in having

that Sullivan afterward told him
that the girl had reversed her.
