The case of M J. Morgan vs. Chailes
Kein still occupies tin attention of the
eoutt. The case Is piovlng to be an
inteiestlng one and the piogiess hasi
been .slow, owing to the necessity of
going ovei tlte ledgeis and day-books
of the old Rockafellow bank and also
of the Second National bank.of Wilkes
Bane. Assignee William Stoddart lias
charge of the Rockafellow- books and
James G. Blake, now of Albany, N. Y
and J. C. Kline, now cashier of the
White Haven Savings bank, both fur
mer empIoes of Rockafellow", were
heie to testify. Mi Millard, of tho
Second National bank, has charge of
their books. The principal point in the
case turns on a clietl; of $1,100, given
by Kern to Moigan in December, 189.!,
which Morgan still held when the
Rockafellow bank failed in February,
1S03. Morgan's claim is that Kern
guai anteed the check and thus relieved
him of the necessity of presenting it
immediately. Theie is also n question
of tender in the case. James W. Piatt,
Henry Hording and W. E. nnd C. A.
Little represent Morgan, nnd Jnmes R.
Scouten, of AVIlkesj-Bnne, and Chnrles

probably go to the juiy today.
The onlv other case on the list for
trial Is John Trowbridge vs. S. A.
Adams. This was an apoeal from a
Justice, has been arbitrated, and now
is piln'clpally n question of costs.

AMERICA'S LAST CAMfcu.
Went to Feed tho Indians After a
Long Career.
From the Denver Republicans.
The lust wild camel In America was
Killed and eaten by the Indians In
Yuma a few dajs ago. The ve-neiablo
beast was one of tho herd of camels
brought fiom Asia Minor many years
ago to eairy oro from tho Comstock
mines. So ends tho greatest attempt
at acclimating foreign animals ever
made In the United States. It seems
sad that the noble beast, the last of his
tilbe, should havo such an Inglorious
end, and jot sumo sympathy must bo
given tho poor Indians for they must
havo been awful hungry to bo nblo
to masticate the tough seventy-llvo-year-old
camel Besides, the poor camel
would most likely havo died of slow
staivation In a short time, tor when
Inst wen allvo by whlto men It was
veiy feeble.
Just who tho man was who thought
of blinking camels to this country
seems to be n matter of some doubt.

Seveinl men aie ci edited with having
done so, but even the old-timeis them
selves seem to be a llttlo tangled up
on this bit of westein history. I. T.
Bniton, of Prescott, Ariz., who was In
tho Comstock at the time, said he was
positive that the late Adolph Sutro
was largely instrumental In bringing
the camels here. This, however, has
been strenuously denied. Dozens of
slmllat stories tiro told about other
prominent Californlnns, but little
credence can be given to any of them.
But the fact lomalns that the camels
were brought here. On all the points
connected with this part of the story
the oldtlmers agree
It was In the old dais, when the
iComstock was In its glory, tho clays
before the ratlioad, when Virginia
City was almost as important a town
as San Francisco. It so happened that
a ceitain gioup of mines about tvven-ty-ilve
of thirty mllesi out of Virginia
City weie panning out piles of rich
oie. It was Impossible to put up a mill
close to the mines on account of lack
of wuter.
Mules weie nut to the work, and
during the winter months did fairly
well, although to feed and care for
them was a terrotlzlng expense. It
must lie understood that as dry, rocky
and bairen a desert as there Is on tho
face of the earth lay between Vltginln
Cltv and the mines". To use a. vehicle
ot any kind wus out of the1 question,
and so the ore was cairled in bags
slung over the backs of the animals,
Fiom the Mist it was apparent that
the mule plan was not a success In
the summer it took about two mules to
carry water for tho one that cairled
ore, and all tho while the animals kept
dying. Tho intense heat anil dry,
sandy air were too much for them, and
they fell by the wayside so fast that
a new band was lequlred almost week
ly. But the ore had to be carried to
the mill, for there was "millions In It."
At this Juncture some genius suggest
ed that the miners buy camels for the
woik. So tho camels wero bought at
grtjat expense. Some of them were ob
tained fiom the veteran showman, P.
T. Barnum, and about twenty came
direct fiom Asia Minor, under the care
of an agent dispatched from Virginia
City.
Fiom the first the camels did nil that
was expected of them. Each morning
they would eat a meager breakfast of
any old weed that happened In their
way, drink a few gallons of water and
were ready tor business. Two hags of
ore, each containing between 200 and
300 pounds, were strapped to tho back
over the hump of each camel.
When the tialu was ready all start
ed olf at once, sti iking a good swinging
gait that was kept up until the mill
was leached. The drivers had nothing
to do but follow the train. No stopping
for water, no urging, no beatings. Tho
faithful beas""'ia their woik willingly.
A Pathetic Incident.

After u few preliminary questions tho
