of horses attached tot wagon some twent,
rods Oft. The nurses took lrIght as the huge
beast approached them, broke loose and ran
few rods To- the angle OF a lence; the ee
phant followed ,chpslzed the wagon aud threw
the horses some Two rods over the fence
One Ui the hbrses rose win several broken
rIbs, aud managed to escape his assalant
winch fell upon The olhe: w;h his tusks, tore
out his eniralis, aud continued To toss hun
along the fence some ten rods or more.
AT this time the keeper, who was al dinner
when the elephant escaped from The tent,
canc up aud called the animal by name. The
elephant immediately obeyed the word, aud
iullowcd The keeper TO an orchard about a
hundred rods of, where he was secured by
strong chains made fast TO the trunk Of iuIl
grown tree Just ns our informant left IN the
ahernDon, he heard that the elephant had
uprOoted the tree TO which he was fastened,
aud had injured man but learned no par
iIculsrs. The rage of the elephant, Il is SAID.
was cansed by some tobacco concealed IN the
food that some Of the byStanders offered him.
People cannot be too cautious how they trI.
