AUCKLAND ELEPHANT
OBJECTS TO NEW KEEPER. [By Telegraph, Per Press Association.! AUCKLAND, November 19. The keeper at the Auckland Zoological Park, Herbert Hunter, received injuries to his head through being knocked down by a new male elephant, recently purchased from the Hobart zoo. The animal which seems to have missed the company of the keeper who brought him from Tasmania, apparently resented the intrusion of a new face in his den. He pushed Hunter violently with his trunk, and in falling the keeper struck his head against the iron end of flooring, receiving a scalp wound that necessitated his removal to the hospital and the insertion of five stitches.
