Fight Between an Elephant and
its Trainer--The Latter Killed.


Mr.. Alfred Moffatt, of equestrian no.
toriety, who for the past five years has
been performing Richard Bells elephants,
was killed at Morat, Switzerland, on June
2Sth, while performing with Bell & N.Y.
er's company. The elephant had some
trouble with the groom a short time pre-
vious. MIR. Moffat tried to subdue the
beast by laying about him with his spear
and tomahawk, and compelled him to
kneel down to him to fasten the chain
around his neck. Mr.. Moffat kept the
spear in the animals ear while he was
was doing this, but had to turn his back
TO the brute while he took chain from
off his leg. Just at this moment, the ele-
phant rose to his feet, and Mr.. Moffat,
who had hold of the handle of the spear,
which was still fastened to the animals
ear, was raised from the ground The
elephant then commenced turning his
head backward and forward until he got
Mr.. Moffat in front of him; then seized
him with his trunk and threw him TWEEN
ty feet in the air, and as he was coming
down, caught him in his tusks and gored
him to heground. Mr.. Moffat still had
presence Of mind to call the animal by
name, and while on the ground said, Go
back, Palm" but at that moment the in
furiated animal put his foot ON Mr.. Moi
fats breast, and killed him instantaneous
ly! The female elephant seeing her
keeper and trainer being mangled, ran at
the male elephant and gored him with her
head then with the assistance of the
members OF the equestrian company, MIR.
Mofiiat was got away from the enemy but
he was no more, life had flown at the
time mentioned above. The female then
went back to the stables and seemed to
try to get the male elephant to do the
same but in spite Of all he would not go
in. He appeared quite wild, and he
commenced Gas through revenge) to tear
Mr., Moffat's coat, which lay on the
ground, pulling it into thousand pieces
and then eating it. The company then
tried about three hours 10 get him into
the stable but they could not do it either
by force or.by kindness. At last the ie-
male came to the stable door, and COM
menced crying, which drew him to her
She then closed the door after him, ant
seeming quite sensible of what had hap
pened, placed herself at the door so he
could not get out. During this time
Messrs. Bell & Myers had sent far can
non TO shoot the monster. For eight lont
hours the female elephant stood sentry
the stable door guarding it with her owl
body by the word Of command from thu
groom, George Mason, who has Away
fed and cleaned the animals, and drov
them on the read from town to town, AM
whose life at time or two has been say
ed by MIR. Moffat. AT last the canno
arrived, and was placed in position nea
the stable door. George Mason then cal
led the female elephant away from tn
door, and the male came out, and the wor

from a cannon made a hole right throug
