M M E I ION ENGLAND AND RUSSIA AGREE V PAN Nine Ton Barnes Circus Pachyderm Must Expiate Crime Like Human Murderer Woman Is A Victim of Maniacal Rage Beast Ordinarily Meek And Placid In Demeanor. BAY CITY, Texas, Oct. J5. (VP) Lllto any human murderer. Black Diamond, nine-ton circus elephant y which killed a woman in Corsicana Saturday, faced death hy a tiring squad or by (he noose today as he rolled on with the Al !. Barnes clrcuH, chained to the steel floor of the box car which has become his death cell. Circus men were In doubt wheth er they would kill the elc4iant with high-caliber rifles or choke it to death with a huge chain. Six of Black Diamond's fellow elephants will be the executioners in event the latter method is used. Three will be hooked to each end of a chain, as If for a tug of war. In the middle of the chain, however, there will be a loop and Black Diamond's head will be in the loop. When the tug of war starts the :eleihant's huge neck will be contracted until be stran gles to death. The elephant, ordinarily meek and placid like his mates, appar ently went insane Saturday. Un loading at Corsicana, the elephnnt and his keeper passed Mrs. Kva Donahoc. Something turned the beast Into a nine-ton maniac and It brushed the trainer aside and charged the woman, knocking her down, t then picked her up, swung , ber aloft and crashed her to the V ground, almost demollshtng'nn an . tomoblle in the process: Attendants and other elephants In the herd succeeded In getting ")he crazed beast under control. Since that time it has been heavily chained in a box car awaiting a thinly populated countryside where It may expiate Its crime. Former Slate Solon Dead TUB DAI.LKS. Ore., Oct.

Money earned In Medford should be spent in Medford. There Is no excuse for buylns poods away from our city when they con be obtained here. There are stores of most every kind in this community with goods of different Brndes nnd prices, and If the citizens were as assiduous in looking through the Btores for what they want ns they are in studying the print ed matter from another city to make their purchases they would find anything they want to at the price they want to pay. "Wouldn't Medford be a funny place," said "Bill" Dollar, "If merchants were to bank their money hy . mall In some other city? It is Just as logical though, as it is to send money to some other city for goods on, sale in Medford. 1 vwhy do people bank their money In Medford," said "Bill", 'instead of in some other city? It Is because they know their banker ni)d -'trust, him and . go. to him' when they want . money accommodations. They know that the bankers are loyal to Med ford. that they buy their goods in Medford stores and do every thing that la possible to help tho community grow. The cord Inl feeling that exists la duo al together to the faot that there Is cooperation. "A bank Is n mercantile es tablishment and has goods to sell the name as nny other store, nnd the men and women who buy there are citizens of this section. "When a . man reaches tho stage that ho ' has to bor row money from a bank in somo other city, ho usually moves then, because, ho has proven himself to be a poor business man In his own community. Then, why, if a person wants to buy mer chandise In eomo other city does not he move to that city? Ho proves by his action that h has lost faith In his city. He knocks Medford when he spends money that he earns In Medford In some other city. "When the loyal citizen thinks of our city, ho thinks Medford, first, Inst nnd all the time. The time" was never better than tho present for the "accomplishment of the many thlnna that make a city great, and the people who believe in Medford will carry to a successful conclusion the thingH thnt they have started. "Not everyone agrees with tho people who are constructive think ers those who havo accomplish ed mnny things and will accomp lish ninny more. Every commun ity has those . who aro continu ally trying to tear down the structures built by willing hands. "If you live In Medford." said "Bill," "for goodness sake be loyal to It. If this city fur nishes you with the food nnd shelter and the enjoyment you crave, speak well of It, stand ly the things that It Is trying to do. In a pinch an ounce of loyalty Is worth a ton of clever knocking. If you must vllllfy condemn . and .eternally disparage, pnek your trunk: nnd when you are on tho outside, knock to your heart's content." tiut' as long ns you ore a part of Medford. bo a real man nnd not condemn It. "Hot nlr will never make the Medford of the future. Men who work along constructive lines ara the ones who will win out he cauxe they are barked by tile right thinking people. "Willing citizens should back up the men who nre working for the advance of Medford, To criticize Is the privilege of ev ery citizen, but to knock the work that others have' done well hurt the ety. "Hatan was ft good citizen of Pnrndise until he began to 'let leorKe do It,' and then because Cieorge- did liot do It the way Katan felt It should be done, he began to knock his home com munity. They got tired of him in Paradise and sent him to the place where he now finds him self. "History often repents," con cluded "Hill." ' . 'Copyright 102.
