ELEPHANT AMOK
PANIC AMONG INDIAN CELEBRANTS HUTS DEMOLISHED .teed. 10.5 a.m. DELHI, Thursday. Yesterday was the greatest day in Allahabad at the Kunibh Mela Fair. It is officially estimated that 4,500,000 persons bathed in the Gauges. Tragedy was narrowly averted when a young male elephant became fractious, gored a female elephant and ran amok, trampling on the huts, which soon caught fire. A mahout dung desperately to the elephant's tail. With two million people packed in a space two miles long and one mile wide, there was imminent risk. There were scores of casualties, but, thanks to the resource of the uiagis.rate and the Superintendent of Police, the beast was ultimately safely recaptured.
