THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
4-TON ELEPHANT
ON “WARPATH"
Confined in Cage Surrounded
By Armed Police; Threatens
to Break Out at Any Time.
Odessa. —An elephant holds the cen
ter of the stage In this town. A broad
trench has ben dug around the mena
gerie where he is caged, and armed
police are on guard night and day, for
the big animal lias turned rogue and
is confined by bars which it may break
at any moment. Efforts to poison him
so far have been unsuccessful.
The elephant belongs to a traveling
menagerie, and has been in the pos
session of its owner for about twenty
years. It weighs something over four
tons. The animal has always been
well behaved until some days ago,
when its attendant saw it trying to
tear down the bars of its cage. Ho
gave it a blow on the trunk and set to
work strengthening the bent bars.
His attention being diverted for a
few moments, the elephant knocked
him down with its trunk, and started
boring him with its tusks. His shouts
brought asistance, and he was drag
ged into safety by his feet.
Afterwards the elephant would allojy
no one to approach it, and early one
morning broke one of the chains at
taching its feet to the cage. It being
| feared that the animal might escape
and perhaps attack the cage contain
ing the lions and tigers, application
was made to the police authorities to
decide how the elephant should be
disposed of. The chief of police came
to the menagerie with a detachment
of foot and mounted police provided
with rifles. The Commandant of
Odessa and a public prosecutor were
also there, and a consultation was
held with several doctors and zoolo
gical specialists from the University.
The authorities decided that it
would he dangerous to try and shoot
the elephant, as the walls of the me
nagerie were only constructed of
wood, and might be, perforated by the
bullets. Recourse, therefore, was had
to poisoning, and a quantity of prus
sic acid was obtained.
The elephant was known to be par
j tlcularly fond of oranges and cakes.
An orange soaked with prussic acid
! was thrown into the cage. The ele
phant picked it up with its trunk, but
after smelling it, threw it aside and
| stamped upon it. The same thing
happened in regard to the cakes. The
elephant ate them all except the one
| which had ben poisoned.
1 Vodka was another of the animal’s
|—Sambo’s,"— weaknesses —Yambo Is
probably a Russian adaptation of
Juumbo —and consequently a pall fill -
| ed witli the spirit was inserted in t I •
cage. Yambo smelt it. raised it in h[y
air, and spilt the contents on the floor.
An effort will be made to chloroform
, the elephant.
Amusing Story Regarding
Emperor Francis Joseph
Vienna.—Aa amusing story told to
day the relations existing between
Emperor Francis Joseph, aged 83,
who has been ill with bronchitis, and
the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the
heir-presumptive. The story goes
that a policeman recently found a
parrot In a tree outside the Belvedere,
the Vienna palace of the Archduke
Francis Ferdinand. As the parrot
used the names of various august per
sonages, the chief of police was In
formed and he ordered the bird to be
brought before him for cross-examina
tion. The parrot talked freely, using
the most violent expletives but always
winding up with the phrase ‘'He’ll live
to be a hundred!"
Thereupon the chief of police said
there was only one man In Vienna to
whom the parrot could belong and order
ed the Idrd to he taken hack to the
Belvidere. The story is said to very
popular, ao everybody knows that the
Emperor and his heir cordially dis
like »ne another.
RUSSIAN EDUCATOR PLANS
PRESERVATION OF GAME
St. Petersburg.—M, Kasso,, Russian
Minister of Education, has brought
forward a scheme for the preservation
of the rarer kinds of game, such as
the bison and the ibex. He proposes
to appropriate state forests covering
an area of over 850,000 acres in the
province of Kuban in the Caucasus,
to form a sort of Yellowstone Bark
where the animals would bo allowed
to run absolutely wild. The building
of towns or villages would be for
bidden, and neither farming nor min
ing operations would he allowed.
FUTURE CARDINAL IS OF
A VERY HUMBLE ORIGIN
Berlin.—Archbishop von Bettlnger,
of Munich, who Is soon to lie made a
cardinal, is a man of very humhls
origin. His father was a poor black
smith at Landstuhl in the Bavarian
Palatinate, and the future cardinal
spent a part of his early years at tlw
forge with his father.
During his career as priest and
bishop von Bettlnger has taken an
active interest in politics, zealously
promoting the cause of the clerical
party. He was made archbishop of
Munich seven years ago and since then
he has become a great favorite of the
Bavarian eourt, and of Count von
Hertling, the prime minister. His ap
pointment caused much talk at first,
owing to the fact that the new car
dinal was to take rank, in all social
functions at the court, In advance of
all the Bavarian princes of the blood;
this preference, however, was after
warda waived by the pope and now
the princes are happier.
