throughout the country inviting
those who had lost children to come
to the camp and identify, if possible,
their children, as none of them
could give amy account who their

to her baby boy and girl as they

deep into the eyes of each, who only

SUBJUGATING AN ELEPHANT

SUBJUGATING AN ELEPHANT
tuesday of last week, Cincinnati,
paper says, circus elephant, 80
years Old, 10000 pounds weight,
and named Tippoo Saib, while in
winter quarters at ConnOrsvilc, In
diana, became unruly on account of
change of his keeper, and went to
war against all mankind. He would
allow no one in his quarters, and
struck at everybody who approach
ed him with his trunk and tusks
most violently. His keeper deter
mined to subdue him, and the pro
cess and result are thus described
"The new keeper, with nine assis-
tants had equipped himself with
chains and cables for tying, and
spears and pitchtorks for subduing
TlppoO. The first thing done was
to tiSten a brlckbat to the end of a
rope and throw it over to the end of
the tlrsk chain, which latter is f;ls-
tened to one leg and one tusk. BY
means of this rope, a twenty-ton ca.
bic chain (tormerly used to subdue
the famous HannibaD was slipnoos-
ed around the tuSk. Next, an ey-
cavatl0n three feet deep was made
under the sill of the house, and
while the elephants attention was
attracted to the other side of the
room by a pail of water poured into
his trough, the cable chain was
passed through the excavation and
fastened to heavy stakes outside.
All this time the infuriated monster
struck all around him with terrible
feroclty and tugged at his chain
with incredible momentum. The
next thing accomplished was the
snarlng of his hind lee. This was
consummated by the singing of
fresh ropes around those two stately
pillars of elephant flesh, bope and
muscle, and finally, by the sfealthy
strategy of the keeper and another
man, these ropes were fastened to
stumps outside. The elephant was
now sufficiently pinioncd to allow
the order "charge Ditchfork $" to be
given. Ten men, armed with these
ugly impllnents of offence, punched
them into the rampaging beast,
taking care, of course, to avoid pen
etrating his eyes or joints. The
tendcrest spot i'll an elephant is just
behind the fore legs, and that local
ity was prodded numerically. BY
means OF hooked spear sunk into
his back, Tippoo was brought to
his knees, but he surgcd up again
with such awful strength that he
swept his toTncnt0rS off their feel
and made his chains whistle like fd
die strings. After an hours fight.
ing he was brought down on his
side, but for two hours longer he

obstinacy. lie pulled SO hard ut
times that his legs were straight ont

ground. AT the end Of three hours

which is the elephants way of cry
ing enough. The moment this pc
elliar cry was heard the battle ceaS
