AN ELEPHANTS REVENGE. At Sacra-
mcnto Il week OF 50 ago some fellow at
Il mcnagcric gave Il piece of tobacco to
an elephant. which caused the animal
to give way To Il fit of terrible anger
Ii seized the nearest object upon which
to wreck his vengeance, and this proved
To he the eleven Years old son of Il Mr.
II. W. LuhrS. The great beast wound
his trunk about the boy and squeezed
him So tightly a> to break his right arm
between the elbow and the wrist. and
to severely brui>c his body. bcin"
compelled to release his hold OF the
boy. the enra"rd animal. ls soon rs the
lad was dropped, again attempted to
seize him. and in the effort came near
taking the NnutlI'S head off. It WAS ON
all hands considered more than fnltu-
nate that the animal did not east him
down and tramplc him to death. and
also fortunate that the angcrcd brute
did not run Il muck in the crowd, as
elephants have done when tobacco has
been given them. The boy was not
dangerously hurt. Such IL trick may
have seemed very funny to the wretch
who played it, but it would have been
more generally satisfactory, had the
elephant given him the hug instead of
injuring an innocent boy.
