Buckles,
Which of these three killed the keeper in the train car in late 1947 ? Again, the announcement came from a November 1947 Billboard.

Off hand I don't recall the incident but I remember the elephants well.
They came to Kelly-Miller in 1950 and saw "Mona" smack a few guys around so she would have been the guilty party.
The other two were fine, "Mabel" was especially nice, anyone could work her.
