CIRCUS CARS WIRE CKED.

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 18.-Two ele-
plant cars and one cage of an animal
car belonging to section of the Ring
ling Bros circus, en- route to Portland,
were ditched near the freight depot in
this city. Ten men, IL elephants and
several Gagged lions and tigers were
in the mixup. No fatalities occurred,
but all of the men were bruised and
three were sent to the hospital here
for treatment.
G. w. McCurry, superintendent of
animals, sustained severe fracture Of
his left leg, just above the ankle;
Martin Smith, elephant trainer, re-
ceived a number of cuts on his head
and face; G. A. Weaver, elephant train
er, had his shoulder dislocated and re-
ceived an ugly cut on his face; Pearl
Sowden, chief elephant trainer, also
sustained deep cash on the head.
The elephants received few scratches
and bruises, but their injuries are not
believed to be serious.
The wreck, which but for the rarest
of good fortune would have been a dis
astrous one, was caused by defective
frog in switch. The third section of
the circus train was pulling out for
Portland, when fiatcar left the rails,
drawing with 1t the heavily loaded ele
plant cars. The weight of the ele-
plants knocked the roof out. The front
of one car dropped into a water ditch
about six feet deep, while the rear end
was upon level ground. This inclined
the car and threw the elephants help
less at the end of the chains by which
they were tied. The gigantic beasts
were piled around in almost every
shape except an upright one.
AS soon as the cars left the tract the
leaders rushed from their quarters,
and by beating and shouting kept down
the rising tempers of the unruly in
mates. They were unclaimed and al.
lowed to slide from the cars much as
they would have backed out at the
usual unloading. Within a very few
minutes all but one were rounded up
In very docile herd, gorging them.
selves upon the grass at the scene OF
the wreck. One small female was in
helpless condition at the end of her
chain, and when it was cut from the
fastening she slid heavily into the
ditch Of water.
She was either too badly frightened
or too stubborn to extricate herself
and it required an hour of strenuous
work to land her on the shore. She
was finally dragged out bodily by q
huge male elephant. A chain was
fastened about the necks of both ami
mails and after few pulls the female
was pulled into position where she
could help herself. She was badly
bloated with water and was given sew
eral quarts Of whisky to ward of q
chill.
The cars were badly damaged and
we're taken to the Northern Pacific
shops for repairs, the animals being
put in boxcars and the train left to
night for Portland.
| When the accident occurred the
train was moving at the rate of three
miles an hour. but when the flatcal
jumped the track it set the air brake.
and thereby prevented more seriou.
results.
| The car containing the tigers ant
lions was only partially derailed and
the animals remained in their cages.
