A strange fatality has occurred at Wadebridge, near Plymouth. A travelling menagerie is sojourning there, and in consequence of the elephant's sleeping van having- broken down, a small house was hired for the animal, while the van was lepairing, the animal probably resenting the unusual restraint, grew wild, and attacked the keeper so viciously as to break many of his bones, inflicting injuries from which death ensued.
