Killed By An Elephant.

Frank Fisher, Keeper of Rajah, is the Animal’s Sixth Victim.

     Frank Fisher, keeper of the big elephant Rajah, was killed by his charge at the winter quarters of Lemen Bros. circus in Argentine, Kas. The keeper, becoming angry at the elephant, struck him fiercely with a “hook.” The huge beast promptly turned on him, grabbed him with his trunk and threw him high in the air. When the body fell the elephant trampled it and gored it with his tusks till it was a shapless mess. Fisher is Rajah’s sixth victim. The people who live near the show quarters are determined that the beast shall die. The show proprietors, however, insist the elephant was justified in his act on the ground of cruelty.
