Unidentified #3


DSCF0157, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

I've seen these last two pictures before.
I believe they relate to the aftermath of Morgan Berry's death. After being tracked down, this elephant is cooled off while being dragged back up the hill to the farm.

Mr Woodcock, would you know the name of the gentleman watering the elephant in this picture? Would it be Randall Moore? Also, when Eloise got killedwas not one of the bulls at large for some time after that incident? Thanks Don

I'm not that familiar with either incident and other than Mr. Morgan's son, I have no idea who else was involved in the capture.
I was in Madison Sq. Garden at the time of Eloise's demise and since it occurred during a performance, it would be safe to assume the elephant would have been at large for a certain amount of time.
I was surprised how few people outside the elephant department even knew who Eloise was, Bob MacDougall and Ross Wandry were about all.
Charly Baumann insisted that it was a publicity story.
