The court then took up the Stew

one Of tho attractions OF the John
Robinson Franklin Brothers circus
which showed over on the Island yes
terday afternoon and last night, is u
baby elephant that has been educated
up TO the tricks that amuse the youth
ful clrcus.soers.
When the show arrived In Wheeling
from ZauesviIle yesterday morning.
the baby elephant was not with the
show
He had taken his leave in a most un.
ceremOniou8 manner This should not
be taken to mean that his clephantlne
lordship wanted to leave his kinfolk in
elephant colony OF the show. No, in
deed, II was an involuntary journey
that he had set out upon over in Guern-
sey county, near Spcncer's statioiS
about forty miles west OF Wheeling.
It seemed that the elephants were
rather unruly. and in some manner the
door at the side OF the car was opened
and young Mr.. Elephant crowded OUT
upon the cold md cherries world at
a. m. with not even geography or IL
compass to set him on the pTOverbiaI
road 10 wealth and happiness.
But our young friend from East In.
dia wasn't at all discouraged. Though
the train was running at the rate OF
fifteen miles an hour and his fall must
have been violent. he got up after roll.
ing down an cmbnnkment, not In the
least injured, and began an Asiatic eX>
ploratiOn OF Darkest AmeriCa-and IL
was dark as pitch, too.
Not far from the scene OF his mishap.
the youngster heard the early morning
Growing OF the fowls In neighborins
farm yard and proceeded TO investigate.
Ploughing through fences and other de-
vices to obstruct human pOachers was
dead easy" for young Mr.. Elephant so
that very soon he was in the farm yard,
where his remarkable appearance caus-
ed CONSERVATION and fright among the
chickens. cows, pigs and other inhabi-
tants OF the Guernsey county aEricul-
turallst's domain.
Soon the farmer was awakened. and
he. too. was about as frightened as his
fBrm-yard colony. But as the elephant
did not seem TO be especially vindics
tive-and was really, on the contrary.
pcaceably incllned-the farmer SUM
moned enough courage to introduce
himself.
The gentleman from Asia wasn't OF
reserved disposition and did not OBJ
Ject to the advances OF Mr. Farmer,
which resulted to visit TO the barn.
His highness had barely entered the
barn when the farmer discovered he
had business elsewhere and left, shut
ting the door behind him.
In other words he had the intruder
imprisoned.
The youthful prisoner didn't seem to
mind all this and calmly began 70 make
inroads on the farmers grain and feed.
This was kept up until several hours
later, when tho search train, a locomo-
tive and an open car. which had been
sent back as soon rs the loss
OF the young elephant was dis
covered by keepers arrived at
Spcrcer's station. and Il was
learned that the animal was safe and
sound, without scratch. Thereupon
he was brought out Of the barn and
placed in the car. Then the train start
"a for Wheeling, and arrived here
shortly before J o'clock in the after
noon.
