years old, was terribly torn by q mad ele-
plant belonging to Forepaugh's show this
morning. He was carrying hay to the ele-
plants quarters, when one Of the brutes
snatched him from the ground and for .
moment swung him screaming in the air.
The trunk Of the enraged beast was wound
about the boys waist. and with . final
twirl the lad was hurled to the ground.
The elephant then attempted to gore and
trample upon him, and before the attend
ants could prevent it, with q stroke OF n
tusk the animal tore open the boys body.
As the brute was about to finish his work
by stepping upon his victim, the blows OF
poles, hooks and clubs distracted his at
tention long enough to ALLOW the men to
pull the unconscious boy beyond the ami
mails reach.
