Other delegates were forced to the came manner of egress. Within five minutes the convention hall will cleared of the delegates and the elephant left in complete possession. Some of the more hardy did not remain behind, thinking to conquer the invader in some manner, but these, too, were sent flying from the window when the elephant, lifting up its trunk, sent a column of water playing in their direction. They were drenched as well as frightened when they landed on the concrete walk below. From—The Farmville Herald. (Farmville, Va.), 23 Nov. 1906. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers.
