RAT IN ITS TRUNK.
fren.ied Elephant Creates Excitement In

San Francisco.
San Francisco, Oct. 6.-The reasons
for the strange actions Of Jess, the
circus elephant, which went on a ram
page early this morning, and after
breaking her fastenings and entirely
wrecking the circus, roamed through
the streets of San Francisco, has been
discovered. jess has always been per-
fectly docile and could be handled by
any OF the circus people. While she
was being pursued through the streets
this morning by her keepers they no.
ticed that the big animal acted as II
frenzied by fright. Finally she al
lowed them to come near, and one OF
the keepers noticed something pro-
truding from the end Of her trunk. He
pulled II out and found that ii was a
live rat. The elephant had been lying
on the ground asleep with her trunk
stretched in front of her, and 1t Is sup
posed the rat ran up her trunk. The
animal contracted the muscles OF
her trunk and held the animal fast.
When the rat had been removed the
elephant gave signs of great satisfac-
ton and made no further resistance to
being led back to the circus.
