Thuman !s now lying in Fordham Hos- pit shed and orulged and in a pre- carious condition, nda has borne the reputation of being a bad elephant for the past two years of his six-year stay in the ele- phant house at the park. Since 1906 Thuman bas been the only man who could read any sign of affection in his wicked little red eyen and the single privileged person who could go with im- punity within range of Gunda's trunk, At ? o’clook this morning Thuman opened the door between Gunda’s night Quarters in the elephant house the yard outside and drove the elephant out into the yard, so that he could clean out Gunda's quariers. He had hardly begun to work when the Hght streaming through the open door was guddenly shut off and Thuman turned around to see the elephant, standing with trunk raised, in the doogway. Gunda charged and Thuman ¢ried to reach the door leading out to the alley- way where visitors stand and look through the heavy bars into the phant’s sleeping room. He was not quick enough, Gunda lashed him with his trunk so vielously that Thuman was hurled into a corner, He had the presence of mind to dr: body in as close to the wall possible, while the mad elephant stood before him, lunging at him with his two-foot tusks. ‘At the first lunge one of the tusks Grove ite way through Thuman's left ng the bone and penetrating om side to side, Gunda tried again to gore the keeper but the steel walle forming the corner where the keeper lay prevented his reaching Thu- man with his weapons.
