BIG ELEPHANT PLAYS HAVOC
Pachyderm Sneezes and Windows Are
Shattered. Buildings Shake and
Plaster Falls.

London, England.-Daisy, the big
Indian elephant which sneezes once
in three years, performed her trien-
NAL feat at the Bostock jungle here.
AS results of her snaaze:
Huge pieces of plaster fell from the
ceiling.
Four windows were broken.
An electric light cluster was
smashed
4 parts of so schoolboys were
watching Daisy. which had been mo-
tionless for more than an hour. when
suddenly the animal gave scream,
reared up on its hind legs and giving
vent to a roar that shook the jungle
to its very foundations, spurted a
stream of water over them, drenching
them to the skin. Daisy laid down
Immediately after her sneeze and

WHO'S BOSS, ANYWAY
ENGINEER AND CONDUCTOR TRY
TO DECIDE WITH FISTS.
"Orders Are Orders" Old Railroad
Maxim, but Argument May Arise
as to Who lnterprets
Them.

Leavenworth, Kan.-lf there's one
particular place that orders are orders.
it's on a railroad. Jake Rhinehart,
conductor on the Leavenworth, Kan
sas and Western railway, will tell you
that. And Ed Boucher, engineer, will
grit his teeth and concur.
But that is as far as agreement on
the $40 train for Anaga extends.
When it comes to translating train
orders and applying them, Boucher
wants it understood that is his job.
That is what caused the fight be-
tween the engineer and the conductor
that delayed the train here one day
not long ago. 1t began in the tele-
Sraph office when the two appeared
for their duplicate yellow sheets, com
piled to prevent their running into
the other train.
Rhinehart, conductor, startef 10
read his copy for his engineer to COM
pare. Then they were to talk it over
and decide what it meant. Now, Bu-
cher, engineer, always has done the
reading and let the conductor do the
comparing. He read in a voice loud
enough to drown out the conductor
But an argument followed that led
to blows.
Swish! Engineer Ed struck at his
conductor No one, even the telegraph
operator, who climbed on the far side
of the table, knew whether the blow
landed. Passengers anxious to get up
the line before dark sWarmed in the
Office and urged them on, hoping for
knockout in an early round.
The best of white hopes tires OF TAX
ing punishment, and so with the rail
road men, whose faces now bore
signs of the battle. When the last
of the passengers had left the ring
side the conductor wiped out his eyes
and yelled, All aboard with ardor
undimmed
But the engineer wasn't in his cab.
1t was several minutes before he ap-
peared, wearing a bandage, and pulled
engine $40 in the direction of Onaga,
IS miles to the northwest.

is GIVEN A LIFE TERM
SLAYER'S VICTORY IN SUPREME
COURT ADDS TO PENALTY.
Appealing From a Ten-Year Sentence,
Man Who Avenged Sisters Wrong
ls Sent to Prison for
Life,

Denver, Colo.-Usually 1t is consid-
cred a victory for the defense when
supreme court reverses a convic-
ton in q murder case and sends 1t
back for new trial Such a reversal
proved a stunning blow for Joseph E.
Bailey, the second trial leaving him
convicted of higher degree of MUIR
der than the first one, with many
years added to his term of imprison-
ment.
In July, 1910, Bailey killed his
brother-in-law, Eugene Smith, for al
legged brutality to Mrs. Smith, Bailey's
sister. AS her husband lay upon the
ground, MORALLY wounded, the woman
snatched her wedding ring from her
finger and threw it at him, eXclaiming
that she was through with him for
ever.
In both the trials she stood by her
brother steadfastly, telling of her
wrongs, accusing the dead husband of
untold cruelty to her. Several times
during the last hearing her sobs were
so loud that she had to be cautioned
to keep silent, for fear of the effect
of her emotion upon the jury.
AT the first hearing Bailey's coun-
sci put up hard fight and managed
to win a verdict of murder in the sec
Ond degree. The defense did not deny
the killing, but hoped to show that the
brother was so shocked by Mrs.
Smiths mistreatment that he was tenn
pOrarily out of his mind. His sentence
was an indeterminate term of from
ten to fifteen years.
An appeal to the supreme court was
taken and that tribunal remanded the
case on errors in the trial. About the
time the decision was handed down
Bailey's attorney died.
The accused had to get another law
yer, one comparatively unfamiliar with
the case. At that the trial appeared
to go as much in the defendants ia
vor and Bailey confidently expected
nothing worse than another convic-
ton of murder in the second degree.
When the second jury filed out Bal
ley appeared almost cheerful. When
it came back two hours later. he ca
gerly listened for its report, apparent
ly not thinking it could be against
him.
The verdict was guilty of murder
in the first degree" affiXing punish
ment at life Imprisonment in the pen
itentiary. The condemned man fell
back into his chair, stunned and be-
wildered as if he had received blow
from a club
He is a young man and the compile
ton of term of Is years would have
let him out of prison in the prime OF
life. His second sentence, in the or
binary course of events, will mean
he must be locked up at least 20
years longer.

Quail st Out of Hands.

Columbus, Ind,,-There is at least
one covey of quail in Bartholomew
county TIT seems to know that it is
protected by law and for that reason
is unafraid. The covey which con-
sists of about thirty birds, flies down
in a feed yard here each evening,
feeds and flies away in the early
morning. Some OF the birds have be-
come so tame they will eat from the
hands of the men at the feed yard
No one has so far molested them.

BIT TER
Is the Fight Being Waged over
the 'Philippi Postohice
Site.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-Noth-
ing is being overlooked in these days
of strenuous politics, which might
have bearing on presidential as
pirations. Even the selection OF a
$4,000 site for postoffice in small
town may have bearing on presi-
dental politics, and the opportunity
to take advantage OF even such a
trivial matter is not overlooked.
Some time ago an appropriation
was made by Congress of $1,000 for
the purchase of postofflce site at
Philippi, W. Va. The treasury de-
partment sent an agent to look over
the sites and a certain one was rec
commended. Opposition to the site
developed and soon a contest was on
between the friends of the two OPP
posing sites. One site is favored by
Judge Aston G.. Dayton, who as
Judge of the district which will sit
in the new building it is proposed to
construct on the lot purchased was
regarded as having considerable in
fiuence in the selection of the site.
But friends of the other side came
to Washingt recently and made a
visit, not only to the treasury de-
partment, which has charge of the
selection of postoffce sites, but to
the White House also.
