GUNDA, BAD ELEPHANT
IN BRONX Zoo, KILLED
Truculent Career Ended With
Single Bullet Fired by
Carl +. Akeley.

Gunda, the big Bronx Park elephant.
was killed yesterday because his bad
temper was incurable. Carl Z. Ake'ey.
elephant hunter and taxidermist for the
American Museum OF Natural History,
was sent for at the direction OF william
r. Hornaday. director OF the New YORK
geological Park, and fired the bullet
that ended Gunda's ~truculent career
Gunda hadn't always been a bad ele-
phart. though. for when he was frst
brought TO the Bronx zoo he was dooile
and tractable. a genial playfellow for
little boys who wanted to ride on MS
back.
Col. Oliver II. Payne presented Gunda
to the zoo In 1904. Gunda at that lime
was only 6 feet 7 inches In height and
weighed 3.746>pourds. But since then
he had Increased greatly In size. He
came from India.
The elephant began to show an irk-
someness to captivity in 1908. and for
the last Ave years had been dangerous.
He had attacked Keeper Walter Thu
mann several times, and on one occa-
sion Thumann nearly lost his life. He
was leading Gunda out OF the cage at
the time. when the elephant knocked him
down and tried TO crush him. Thumann
crawled into a corner behind a feed box
and Gunda stabbed him with one OF his
tusks. The elephants tusk passed
through Humans right thigh. Just
as Gunda was getting ready for another
lunge at Thumann Dick Richards, an
other keeper. ran in and drove the ele-
plant Off with a pitchfork.
