Buckles: You remember this Dorothy killed a man on Hagen Bros and later hurt Shipley pretty bad on Carson & Barnes. They put a little door down on the lower side of the truck so she could be chained or unchained without going in the truck with her but she was still dangerous and ended up going to the Tulsa Zoo.

During this time my dad had our elephants out west with Rudy Bros. Circus and I was away in the Army, so we missed all this excitement.
