ROGUE ELEPHANTS.
One of them Had a Terrible Grudge
Against Watch Towers.

One of them Had a Terrible Grudge
Against Watch Towers.
The complete history Of rogue ele-
plants would make an interesting
chapter. They seers to have decided
to avenge mans wrongs against their
kind. Some years ago one rogue act
ually took possession of a stretch of
country in India forty miles wide by
one hundred long, and in business
like way proceeded to demolish every
thing in or about it. The animal rushed
into the villages, took huts upon his
tus1s and tore them apart, or tossed
them until they fell in splinters. 1t
chased the people away, or killed them
whenever it could, or, standing by the
wrecked houses, it ate the grains and
stores.
This elephant seemed remarkably in
telligent. 1t entertained in particular
a grudge against the watch towers or
scaffolds. Whenever this rogue saw
one, he would creep slyly, spring at it,
push it to the ground and Kill its occu-
pant.
A famous rogue elephant named
''Mandla" was owned by rich man
near Jubbulpore in central India. Sud
denly it began to develop the charac-
teristics of a rogue, and attacked hui
man beings wherever seen. 1t killed
them SO cruelty that it became widely
known as ''the man-eater.'' He was
finally destroyed by an organized effort
of English army officers
Another famous rogue took posses
sion of a public road and attacked every
passer-by. Suddenly darting from the
jungle, it would rush up to an oX-cart,
seize the driver with its trunk, and dis
appear. Repeated raids of this kind so
terrified the people that large tract
Of land was to all intents and purposes
deserted; but finally an English hunter
determined to rid the country of the
rogue. By careful inquiry he found
that the elephant always seized the
driver, and if there were two carts in
company, it chose the driver of the
last. So he arranged two ox-carts, put
ting dummy driver upon the second,
while upon the first was a stout BAN
boo cage in which the hunter was to
sit rifle in hand. When all was ready
the two ox-carts started, one day, fol-
lowed by the hopes and best wishes OF
the community. The fatal district was
soon reached, and, about halfway down
the road, there came a crash, and the
monstrous elephant, dark and ugly,
dashed upon the party. Making di-
rectly for the last cart, with vicious
swing of its trunk, it seized on the
dummy man and made off, receiving as
it went q shot from the cage. But the
oxen, alarmed by the uproar, ran
away, leaving the road and taking TO
