The death of Jumbo has a touch of ro-
mantle interest according to tho story of
Mr.. Haight, Barnum's representative. After
the show at St. Thomas, Ont, says Mr.
Haight, the driver started down the bank
with the baby elephant, Tom Thumb, to
where the Grand Trunk freight train was
standing. There are great many tracks at
that point, used in the switching of cars on
the Grand Trunk airline, which there joins
the main stem of the road. On one side of
the track was the train and on the other was
a steep embankment. As tho train came
around the curve the keeper tried to induce
Jumbo to go down the embankment, but
he would not, for what reason was not at
first apparent. The baby elephant was in
the rear, and as the train approached Jumbo
began to below and swing his trunk. The
little elephant seemed dazed but did not get
out of the way. As the engine was almost
upon them Jumbo raised on his hind legs as
though to protect the baby, and then quick
as thought dropped down and grabbed him
in his trunk and hurled him with great force
over all the tracks and against a freight-car
20 yards away, where he dropped down
whining like a puppy with q sore foot.
Jumbo, in saving the life of his little prote-
ge, had neglected his own chance to escape.
The locomotive struck him with full force in
his side, crowding him against some cars on
| the siding nearest him, and fairly squeezing
the life out Of him. When they came TO the
end of the switch the engine left the track,
and with 1t five freight cars that stood on
the siding. Then there was scene never
to be forgotten by those that witnessed it.
The mangled beast roared with pain, and
the little elephant roared as loud as he could
in sympathy. The crush was too heavy to
leave any chance of recovery, and the by
ISLANDERS could only wait for Jumbo's death.
1t was not long delayed. In three minutes
| he turned over on his back dead. 1t WAS
found that the baby elephants leg was bro
| ken and, as there was no help for him,
orders were given that he be put out of his
misery, which order was carried into effect
the next afternoon. Mr.. Barnum received o
telegram from Prof. Ward Of Rochester uni
versity asking the privilege Of skinning the
animal, which was granted. The skin will
