Elephants

Published in the Waukegan Gazette, Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday, September 29, 1860

     The elephantess Jenny, attached to Dan Rice’s show was poisoned between Salem and Mitchell last week. The poison was administered in an apple given to it by one of the audience. The animal at last accounts was not dead, but there seemed to be no hope of its recovery, as it was very much swollen and exhibited unmistakable symptoms of dissolution.
